I've been to Daiso stores both in Japan and in the United States and one of the main differences between Daiso and American dollar store chains is how they keep their stores so much cleaner and neater. Every Dollar Tree or Dollar General I visit seems to look like a hurricane just blow through it.

This was my concern in my comment, wondering about how well kept the stores were. I hope American Daiso stores don't fall into disorganization like the dollar stores have done and barely care to resolve.

Many Dollar Trees will only have 2 employees working at a time, a manager and a cashier. Unless it's a special circumstance, a delivery day or a larger / busier store. It's impossible for two people to both attend to customers and keep the stores clean and orderly. I also think Daiso gets more Asian customers and tend to be placed in areas where there's a higher Japanese and Korean population. They'll generally care a lot more about keeping things tidy while shopping.

Daiso's stationary section is a treasure. Japanese stationary is well-regarded among writing/journaling enthusiasts, and the art supplies are decent too. If you've never had a 2mm lead holder or a fude brush pen, Daiso can give you your first taste of those for not much money.

I've been living in South Korea for a few years, and DAISO stores are everywhere here. The products are very similar to what you found in your DAISO. But the main difference with the DAISOs in South Korea is the presentation. The stores here are usually very "extra" with an incredibly modern and clean looking architecture, interesting displays, seasonal sections of products, etc. I hope you can come and experience a DAISO in Korea or Japan someday. It's a completely different experience!

The daiso in korea sells totally different things I realised, the logo is different and the price points are different and everything is in Korean or mostly produced in Korea with many products I did not see in other daiso outlets outside korea. i think daiso korea is a franchise which didn't follow the global brand

I love daiso! It's more aesthetic than the traditional dollar stores in the states. They have new stuff in stores pretty often. The curry that is in a taller box has the sauce already made with small chunks of potatos/carrots. The shorter/wider box is just cubes of the roux, you will have to cook your own veggies/protein, add water and the roux cube and the sauce is made. The spiral is called naruto :)

DAISO is great. When I visit my family in Japan, I go there to bring snacks back. They have more international items (not just Japanese) and as become my kid's kawaii headquarters to shop for Sanrio items that is usually overpriced elsewhere. I don't see a comparison between Five Below and or Dollar Tree. DAISO is in it's own world.

Daiso is pretty nice. They literally have a little bit of everything. I've gotten some nice pottery pieces there, as well as some nice trays you eat on (while watching TV). The ones near me carry a lot of Japanese snack foods and a lot of stationary supplies and art/crafting supplies. I usually go there for my dried Wasabi Peas, as they are a lot cheaper there than the grocery stores. And I've gotten some nice kitchen gadgets for cheap, along with some nice small silicone spatulas for jars and cans. Not to interested in 5Below. The ones I've been in are more of just either candy stores, or extremely cheap tech junk that doesn't work.

I love Daiso! I lived in San Francisco and then Seattle so I've been frequenting them for like a decade and it's exciting to see it expanding. I love cute stickers and stationery so Daiso is a nightmare for me, way too much cute stuff!! I also always go to Daiso when I move, it's great for grabbing all those little things for your kitchen and bathroom for really cheap. (I remember you looking at Bed Bath and Beyond and commenting how expensive a lot of it was, Daiso is my alternative!) I also had a small business for a while and used those character bags for fun packaging. My house is basically completely full of rainbow Daiso stuff. The only thing I think is strange is the one near me has no sort of baby section? I wasn't expecting anything crazy, but bottle, bibs, hats, binkies...it seems like an oversight! Can't wait for my daughter to be a little older so I can take her on Daiso shopping sprees 😂 And I love those curry bases, they're great and not too difficult to make! It makes a LOT of curry too (I think one pack is usually at least two meals worth)

Wow, so Daiso is basically importing most of the stuff they usually feature in their stores in Japan to the US. Smart move on their part. The prices are definitely higher than they are in Japanese stores, but they are more reasonable than places like Mitsuwa which tend to be pricey. Good to see they keep the US stores as clean and well-organized as the ones in Japan. Did they sell those Black Thunder mini-chocolate bars? Those are awesome. You can get three of those for 110 Yen here in Japan.

Oh man, I've gotta give it a visit sometime! It looks like a very fun place to explore and check out. I keep a stock of fun stationary at work so I'd love to pick some up from here :) Some boxed curries come with veggies but others it's just the roux - you add it to meat and veggies with some water and you've got yourself a cheap and tasty curry. I really like the Vermont Curry brand (I didn't see it in the video but I'm pretty sure most Asian grocers carry it), though I've found that the "spiciness" levels don't matter as I've tried all three and none of them are spicy, and I'm the kind of person that thinks sriracha is sometimes too much for me lolol

The Golden Curry is good stuff. It looks like a solid brick when you take it out of the package; you supply your own protein and vegetables. You start with a pound of any meat - my Japanese friends favor beef - and typically at least potatoes and carrots. Brown the meat, braise the veggies for a few minutes, add water and cook until the veggies are tender. Then break up the curry brick into pieces and add, stir and cook for a few more minutes, serve with rice and you've got a great lunch or supper.

So glad you covered Daiso! Before they opened the ones in AZ I went to the San Francisco one in Little Tokyo and goodness nothing will ever compare the giant wall of pink cherry blossom stationary, I noticed the San Francisco one was slightly larger than the other locations I went to in AZ and Houston TX. In terms of japanese groceries I can get some at both Daiso, Lams Supermarket, and at the Mesa Asian District. Back when I was in school in the early 2010's it was only Hello Kitty that was popular and nobody had ever heard of Kuromi, My Melody, or Cinnamoroll, now all the children know them and collect their merch! I love the knockoff Sanrio merch at the swap meets and mexican-owned shops which back in the day they only had Hello Kitty. The Arizona Matsuri used to be the only place for me to get UCC coffee and Ramune, with so many pop-up stores selling Asian snacks and stationary I mostly go to Matsuri for the food stands and cosplay. Check out the MiniSo that opened up at the Chandler and Arrowhead mall! It's similar to Daiso but with more of the Sanrio merchandising.

Ok. So the curry packs. The one on top that says “sauce with vegetables” is a ready-to-eat single serving that you can heat in the packet in a pot of hot water. The one on bottom that you picked up are roux blocks. You would be cooking several servings with that. You would need vegetables, meat, and tomato product (ketchup works, but paste is better) to complete that meal. Both are eaten with rice.

I lived in Japan for several years. Daiso was my go to store. I love the petite blocks. They were ¥100 and that was just about a dollar at the time. Anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a half of entertainment they are quality products, very well crafted. They come in dozens of varieties. Well worth the investment. I’ll see used to like to get sunglasses and reading glasses. The latest styles for a buck. They have really good scissors. You can’t go wrong on anything. Most of their locations in Japanare lease purchases of an empty property. It is an awesome organization, all of the stores in Japan are spotless. I won’t do the dollar stores in the USA, they are filthy. Never a problem at Daiso.

I'm so jealous! I live in Alabama, and my city has a trillion frickin Dollar Trees. Which, I do like them...but I would LOVE for there to be a Daiso! I've heard a lot of good things about them. My hopes though are that they're not run as lazily as Dollar Trees (And Dollar General/Family Dollar) which have almost no staff and become messy and disorganized because of it. I think this would be especially important with so many things being in Japanese, where if things become disorganized, you're now not only confused on where to find something but what you're even looking at as you sort through a pile of random items. I also saw a lot of Campus notebooks in your video and as one who has recently bought a few of the Kokuyo Campus packs of paper, I cannot recommend them enough. The quality is better than your normal loose leaf paper (I would say similar perhaps to the brand Five Star, but maybe better because Campus also has notebook paper of different textures to fit different writing utensils and to be considerate of how it feels when your hand is brushing along the paper. Yes, Japan can be rather "extra", but we all probably know this already 😅). To be able to get that stuff without having to shop online would be a dream, though my wallet will quickly hate me 😂. Thank you for showing us the inside of your local store!

Went shopping in 5below today specifically looking for Tower Block game aka Jenga w/c I need for our Thanksgiving party at my house. Also bought a Grinch slipper & a grinch bobble head. Love them & the price. I find their tshirts very cool too. Hope Daiso will open a store in our city, nearest is 2 hrs away ☹

Don't know if anyone already said it, but the spiral ramen topping is called narutomaki.

We have Dollarama all over Canada. It'd be interesting to see if Daiso will come here.

I love taking trips to Daiso here in Texas. Even if I don’t get anything substantial there’s always the snacks they have to snag

I lived in Asia for 14 years and shopped at Daiso often, in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and in Hong Kong (in HK it's now called Living Plaza but it's the same company and same products). I miss it so much since leaving! The "spiral things" on the instant noodle pack are narutomaki, a fish "cake" very similar to imitation crab meat. And the Golden Curry: it's a solid block of curry, scored for individual servings. You cut off however many servings you need and then cook it in a pot with water. I like to serve it over rice with an omelet and either chicken or a hamburger patty.

I used to live in Japan and LOVED Daiso. They had great value for the price. A few years ago I visited one on a trip to New York and really like the way the implement them in the US.
