Since you're staying at home these days, it'd be nice to see how you prepare the food! Perhaps some type of what I eat in a day video or recipe videos :) I am also infinitely jealous of that pudding and absolutely need to see it plated and cut into 😭

I've been having Vegan "Butter Chicken" as well! Instead of the butter and milk I add canned coconut milk and instead of chicken I add chick peas. It's delicious.

This is incredible because 3 years ago when I studied in Japan and being allergic to dairy it was incredibly difficult for me to eat anything!

I wish that we had other flavors of soy milk where I live in Canada. We only have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry here. :(

Try Asian grocery's store?

[@thriftshopghost1132]

Try store brand soy milks! Those tend to be cheaper.

[@suzanneng5326]

They do in the USA! The brand kikkoman sells strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, matcha, and coffee flavored soy milk :) I buy it at my local 99 cents store and Asian supermarkets!

[@boop6169]

Audrey maybe look elsewhere from where you normally shop. I buy soy milk as well and there are places in town where it's cheaper and even cheaper than regular milk

[@TrainThingsandBangs]

I love Japan's grocery stores! It feels so large and sprawling full of products that are fresher than my local supermarket here in Sydney. Dangerous to be watching this at 2am wanting an Easter snack :)

[@LucAbroad]

I visit japan every year and I was lucky this time to be there in January. Stay safe Sharla!

[@justno5204]

Gurrrl, get a grocery cart like you see the old ladies pushing around or a backpack. I don't drive or bike in Japan either. I use a cart when I need heavy things i. e. bottles of liquid, backpack for light items or I use both at the same time. Cuts off less circulation than a tote. If you haven't already looked, Amazon Japan and the home stores also has racks for over your stove at reasonable prices. I'm so glad to see you doing well. Cheers.

[@vivianpowell1732]

American here. Boomer. I am enjoying your videos. This is my second one, the first being your apartment tour. Your bathroom is amazing!!! I too came to the conclusion that buying frozen vegetables in these days of quarantining is better than buying fresh produce. For one thing, I think there's less likelihood of contamination, and certainly better storage and shelf-life. I'm also using frozen entrees even though they're not an optimal choice because of sodium content. But I eat only small entree portions, with a salad and vegetables being the main course of my meals. On top of all the covid worries each day presents now, my area along the coast of South Carolina was under a tornado emergency watch this morning. My neighborhood was spared, but nine lives were lost across the state before the severe storm system moved off. Tonight I'm collecting myself with cups of warm green tea with brown rice.

[@sharlainjapan]

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve also got tornadoes to deal with now too! Stay safe out there🙏🏻❤️

[@vivianpowell1732]

@@sharlainjapan Thank you. It was quite a morning. 🍵

[@NeverBreakXPact]

This was so interesting to see what a single person and vegan keeps on hand for food! We live in Shiga and are a family of 3 (husband, wife, 2 year old boy). Our fridge is almost twice the size of yours and packed full, but we eat it all every week! We also have a deep freezer to store bulk items from costco, we shop in a more western style by purchasing things that are freezable or shelf-stable in bulk at lower prices and eating them over several months. I feel like we were low-grade food-hoarders long before the pandemic hit. I do think we'd have a LOT less food in the house if we didn't drive and if we didn't eat meat or dairy, those are a huge part of our diet. I am impressed with your stock of frozen veggies, and I can tell by the familiar packaging what brand of supermarket you have there :D

[@ArcticFirepixy]

Ya deep freezers are a must for life

[@strangetimez]

This was a cool video! I love learning about the "little details" of different countries like this.

I was confused when you were talking about cereal but showing bags on the supermarket shelves, until I realised that they *were* cereal! Lol. Never seen it not in a box. And I also freeze my bananas. I like ripening them at home as well. 😀

You can find bagged cereal in America but it's the cheap brands or store brand.

[@AzzaYCF]

@@3DJapan Oh right, I never knew that 🙂 Not seen it in my part of Europe.

Yeah bagged cereals kind of hit the scene kind of quick about 15 or 20 years ago or so.....at least that is when i noticed them. JIm Gaffigan even had a couple jokes about them on beyond the pale.

Thanks for reminding me that I desperately need to go grocery shopping

Woo, catching a video right after upload! Such a tiny fridge really makes me wonder how you're able to fit everything, but that fridge is really economical with its space! I'm amazed how much you've managed to fit in it! It was quite interesting, and seasonal stuff must make it hard to plan your fruit intake, haha! Some ideas: 1. Show us around your Animal Crossing island! 2. Just a chill sort of live-stream vibe gaming with Sharla! 3. Maybe a cooperative video where you and another friend talk over Skype or Zoom or something, and discuss various things about the current epidemic in your regions, about general life in Japan, or about a random topic of your choosing! 4. An extra-length Q&A!

Yes! I love these type of videos. This is actually why I came across your channel in the 1st place. I just fell in love with all things Japan, and kept wondering what just regular daily life would be like there.

Love your groceries/fridge tour! The jyajyamen(reminds me of chinese zhajiangmian), mabo tofu and butter chicken sauce are what made me really hungry, and the rare gems that are unique for me are the unicorn cereal, obscure drink section and frozen soy drink packets for kakigori. The part about your love for plant based food like soy is inspirational =)

How tough is grocery shopping in Japan right now? In the US (at least where I'm at in Texas) there are still tons of bare shelves when it comes to thing like meat, pasta, tomato sauces, noodles, milk, eggs so you pretty much just grab whatever you can find. Toilet paper is still a nightmare to get a hold of.

Still no toilet paper or hand sanitizer, though I loaded up on both of those more than a month ago knowing COVID was going to devastate the US. Only thing I wanted that I couldn't find was ramen. Last week though it was a completely different story.

[@lina-y]

My tip for carrying heavy stuff to home on foot is to go with an empty backpack! Preferably something made of a very light fabric. I usually go to the cheapest supermarket possible because I'm broke as hell and (in my case) it can mean 30mins walk there and then 30mins walk back, and if you buy milk, drinks, and yogurt or other heavy stuff, your fingers can hurt very very badly if you carry all these in a bag. I usually separate heavy and light stuff and put as much of the heavy things in the backpack as much I just can, and then carry the lights in a normal plastic bag. It was a game changer for me, really. I recommend you trying it ^^
