Tokyo Supermarket Grocery Haul! Dairy Free Treats

[@tccandler]

Those strawberries might be the prettiest strawbs I have ever seen.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

TC Candler Japanese strawberries are always so beautiful! Pricey but so sweet and fragrant 😄

[@tccandler]

@@TokidokiTraveller Japanese everything seems to be beautiful. Thanks for being one of the great channels that helps me experience it.

[@caelestiavulpes5457]

That tofu section o.o I would love to have more than two sorts of tofu to choose from!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Valerie Dandois they have so many types and it’s so cheap!!! My favourite is the pre-fried tofu 😄

[@Blasphemykat]

I’m in shock at how affordable everything is. Even the beef prices are comparable to grocery prices where I am at in the US.

[@douloureux.]

Stephanie Graham yeah and taxes are included in japan

[@Brandon84J]

You've definitely got your shit together. Glad to seeing you doing so well over in Tokyo

[@Wisteriacactus]

I live in Japan, but I love watching these videos to give me more ideas. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the selection, so it’s nice to see what you recommend 🙂

[@elbarsinsson]

I am living far from my city for study reasons, but with your videos I do not feel so alone, you are great !!

[@kellytostada8403]

That’s actually not bad, compared to my local grocery stores in Texas 💁🏽‍♀️

[@Danielxm]

Kelly Tostada right, I live in Houston and always spend at least $80 every grocery trip

[@jaklg7905]

Those 5 lamb chops where under $14 US. That is cheap. Americans way over pay for groceries. We are getting ripped off, especially meats and produce. They ship that stuff overseas and those people pay less then we do.

[@BreakawayWarrior]

@@cottoncandiez8872 still cheaper than kroger

[@crystalh7952]

I spent 130 😑 but it lasts me a few weeks

[@laraisokay]

Emma, you are a breath of fresh Covid-free air. Thank you for always being so delightful to watch! Love from California. 💕

[@DarklightAmy]

Somehow I find grocery haul videos super relaxing.

[@XSemperIdem5]

Seeing how many ice cream treats you got and knowing your fridge then died: noooooo

[@Hagumi28]

its the new fridge

[@douloureux.]

Hagumi28 its not, this is still the old one

[@Damienov]

a good reason to engorged them all before they spoil and get more for the new fridge

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

A lot of great food here. Imagine the possibilities of what you can cook with all these items. Enjoy your day and happy cooking 🙌💯😊👍

[@karlos1008]

Why does Japan think of everything I didn’t know I needed. Bloody dry ice! Woolies needs those

[@zoomzabba452]

We have it at our larger grocery chains in America. Clerk extracts a few chunks with a rock hammer and puts it in a small paper bag. Usually a small charge or free if you purchased a lot frozen goods.

[@astrowolvez]

That dry ice is so smart! The closet I've got is putting ice packs in a reusable bag.

[@spicymchaggisjig1294]

Oooh dang another grocery store video hells yeah!! Loved Sharla's video so much after watching pretty much everything on channels like Abroad in Japan it's so cool to see actual daily life videos like this I find them just so fascinating especially with the quirky things like dry ice machines etc. Was also glad you mentioned a supermarket chain as I wondered which were the big ones

[@quazzie1113]

These kinds of videos are so relaxing and fun to watch!

7:42 INSTANT FLASHBACK TO EMMA SLAPPING PUDDING WITH A SPOON :)))

[@brideoflister]

I paid $10 AUD for a similar amount of salmon recently. All the prices seem really good from an Aussie point of view!

[@PatriciaSigaki]

Moved to Kanagawa-ken last March and I'm loving that you can reuse other plastic bags for throwing your garbage and recyclables here (also, that they encourage you to recycle paper). At the previous cities (smaller and in other prefectures), you had to buy specific plastic bags and was common sense to throw paper with burnable garbage (they collected recyclable paper, I couldn't understand why most didn't sort paper out). I still stress about plastic packaging you can't opt out - I try using those for garbage - and individually wrapped things 😅 but feel more at ease here 😊

[@sgtjasper]

Just wanted to thank you for all the uploads recently. Thank you for the hard work!

[@XeiAudiMusic]

Love the lil animation and hearing you speak japanese! So kool!

[@ashakydd1]

Here in Canada, we now have lactose free dairy products. My local store has milk, butter, and cheese without lactose which is awesome. It is a bit pricey, but worth it. I made garlic and onion mac n cheese last night that was amazing.

[@shellybananas]

I also live in Tokyo and I need to go to 2-3 different grocery stores in my area to get everything I need. You're so lucky you have AEON.

[@ladyluna7150]

This video was super helpful as a vegan who is interested in visiting Japan and as always love your videos/content ♥️

"Is this crazy soy vanilla" Oh, _Kracie_ .

[@MsTrain69]

So interesting, Emma. The favorite was the dry ice machine. So cool!

[@jeligrid]

I love learning about Japan through you! keep up the good work 😊

[@marthayk]

I’m obsessed with the melty shreds ! Thank you for sharing this Aeon shopping journey.

[@PeacefulPagoda]

I was today years old when I learned a bell pepper is also known as a paprika. Huh!

[@TokidokiTraveller]

PeacefulPagoda yeah! In Australia we call them capsicum too... or england. I dunno if it was just something my mum called them. But in japan it’s called paprika! パプリカ (papurika) 😊

[@deedd4401]

most of eastern european countries call it by this word - i suspect it has something to do with the tatar tribe bringing here and settling down , today known as Hungary .... .... coz they have like the obsession and best "paprika" products around

[@acrodeathgaming9403]

@@TokidokiTraveller Paprika it's exactly how we call it in Brazil

[@Offensive_Username]

And in Switzerland it's known as peperoni, not to be confused with pepperoni.

What a fun video! Can't wait to see your new fridge 🤩

[@audreymills4845]

Those strawberries look incredible! Yum!

[@TheVampiressPyro]

Your hair is super adorable today!! And your glasses look sooooo good on you, rock it.

[@CarinaCoffee]

Oh I always have peas in my freezer as well! Although the bags are usually 750g-1kg. It's harder to find them in paper cartons (at least in the smaller chain supermarkets in the city), even though Germany is a little less crazy about plastic than Japan. But the paper carton ones are in smaller quantities, too, about 250g-500g. I just run out of peas very quickly anyway xD But it makes sense that you'd have smaller sizes in Japan.

[@JasZRose]

I can't have dairy, wheat, gluten or peanuts. Which is a pain. But Australia is so much better than it use to be with allergy-friendly stuff. There is actually allergy-friendly mac and cheese now. I use to get most of my stuff from IGA but Woolies is stepping up and I get a bunch of stuff from there now too. I haven't seen any soy whip though and am very jealous of all the soy milk flavours you have. And the pudding! I wonder if they sell any of that at the local Asian food shop. I have never been and maybe I should check it out.

[@TheDoctorHojo]

Coming from someone who lives in Nagasaki it's crazy to see what supermarkets are like in Tokyo compared to here, I didn't even know dry ice machines were a thing! On the plus side, similar to your local green grocer fruits and vegetables can be really cheap if you choose correctly, mind you I am incredibly jealous of your ¥100 pepper! Interesting to see Tokyo compared to real down south Japan!

[@superkagome]

Emmmma youre the best so nice to see you smile!!

[@mone582]

Looking over the foreign food section as I'm german, I highly recommend to try "Ritter Sport Macadamia" chocolate! And "Toblerone" is also very good, but I believe it's from Switzerland.

[@Billie_Ruben]

We have them in Australia, agreed! They're pretty great

[@BeMyVforever]

I love watching food hauls. So excited to see big boy fridge :D

[@dulcegonzalez1288]

Hmm the prices seem on par with what you'd find here in Chicago. Aside from the tortilla prices, some of the stuff you got seemed cheaper than here.

[@johnrogers6291]

Like this kind of video, Thanks Emma, only item in my cupboard the same was the 🌮 seasoning. Japan must have best strawberries 🍓 in the world !

[@nicholaszeransky7772]

So wholesome, thx for the great mood 🤠

[@emilycreed7717]

[@catherinelam9381]

That cooling system is damn cool! How creative.

[@wolvress8064]

I'm drooling looking at those strawberries! I love making chocolate covered strawberries and those would be so perfect to use! 🤤

[@daniellikahong]

Hi Emma, thanks for showing your Supermarket Haul, things get crazy expensive here in Europe as well if you don't watch what you are buying. Those KitKat Matcha I bought for "fun" once last week at a chinese supermarket in Belgium actually costing me around 5 euro = 6USD for 10 pcs, its like 50 cents for one tiny stick each. And oh: great that your fridge broke for some reason. I hate ducking each time too for a fridge to get my items. It should be a normal cold temperate on top (top section), instead of down there. The freezer compartiment should be down there. Which is more handy because then you don't need to duck always to get your stuff. (On eyes height it is much much easier too to see which items are almost out of date and get to use them first)

[@sarakia1251]

Japanese fruits looks really fresh and delicious.❤️🤤

[@lalovergel87]

It would be great to have a video about the necessary knowledge for travellers to avoid milk products in Japan (words, phrases, kanji to look out for, etc).

[@gr8rw8r]

We had Dole pineapple posicles, and strawberry, at out supermarket when I was a kid. I loved those.

[@GhostsOfThings]

I LOVE these kinds of videos thank you so much :) I've noticed that I'm spending more on food in my country during this, even though beforehand I didn't really eat out at all. I think it's because there is less to choose from and pick the cheaper options ...

[@ravenslament622]

Hello yes have wondered for the longest time that there is an abundance of plastics used for packaging like everywhere else I guess but here in UK things are improving in that in store plastic bags need to be purchased, I use cloth bags and a four wheeler shopping cart for my fortnightly shopping spree.

[@thetypebeast]

I want to try one of those ice machines, the look so cool.

[@loryn9527]

Flooor gaaaanggg ! Your video gives me the the feel to go to the local grocery, meh, tomorrow maybe...

[@Brandon84J]

That Japanese Wagyu beef is insanely delicious. I worked at a Japanese restaurant a while back, they got some for us to cook... literally like 10 seconds on either side to sear it, then eat it... It's so damn good

[@AstorReinhardt]

Cool to see they have a lot of diary free options!

[@writerinrwanda]

Oh, snap on the plastic bags. In 2008, Rwanda banned single-use shopping bags, but I just did a video about recycling here and you can still walk into a supermarket and buy black plastic bin liners. You can use old vegetable bags to put your trash out, but you don't always get them back and then you have to go buy more. It does seem weird that we went to so much trouble to ban plastic bags (you can't even bring them through the airport) yet we still allow rubbish collection in plastic bin liners. Not sure what happened there 🤔

[@shelleybrereton4808]

I'm so glad I found this video. I love Japan and hope to visit in the future but always was concerned as we are a family of 4 and all have issues with dairy. It's good to know they have a reasonable selection of free from items.

[@akidaco]

This makes me wanna go grocery shopping for some reason haha Great video as always, Emma! Even though it's just "hey look what I bought at my supermarket" I find this kind of content very entertaining and relaxing to watch😊

[@Moaritsu]

You're very frugal in a good way!! I was surpised when you said that you think its expensive for that much food, but I guess it is small portions. I spend like $45-60 for 2 weeks groceries (American sized) I'm really impressed with that stores selection of goods, my little store in hiroshima was pretty limited. But I did also love the veggie store similar to yours, much cheaper.

[@Lattesmom3]

YOU ARE SO CUTE omg you cheesin' about your treats in the thumbnail made my day!!

[@AngiesTokyoDiary]

honestly everything you got is so much cheaper than it is in America. I live in Miami which is really expensive and I'm super jealous at how cheap ur veggies and snacks were. On top of that I've never seen so many meat options. Also you can barely find tofu out here which is super sad. When you do it's pretty pricy.

[@madddi1019]

Came here to say pretty much exactly that - I live in Orlando and I have spent more than what Emma spent on way less food without even trying lol

[@imolaunger]

Hahaha, loved the animations when you accidentally mispronounce words, especially the slam dunk! Very nice soothing video :)

[@MelvynSiaw]

How I miss Japanese supermarkets.. No go for now this year.. loving your purchase.

[@GauravSingh-ku5xy]

Emma is FLOOR GANG!!

[@thecaptaincltch]

"But I'm Lazy" - My actually mantra when I cook.

[@momoparagon]

I'd be curious to see what alcohol costs. Not necessarily spirits (whisky, etc), but more wine, sake, and beer. Also, taco seasoning is SO easy to make. Just combine the following spices and keep in a container. Mix a large batch and you'll never have to buy the packaged stuff again...plus it tastes so much better! Thanks for the video and enjoy the new fridge! 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon black pepper

[@kamanama3671]

Nicely done. I am curious about something though if you can answer it for me. Do they use pesticides on fruit and veggies as the rule and then have organic fruits and vegetables in a separate section? Here in Atlanta we spend anywhere from $2.50 to $3 on regular strawberries and $3.99 to $6.99 on organic strawberries. And they could never dream of being as pretty as the ones you were holding. They look delicious. I'm so jealous. Take care did a great job really enjoyed it. Stay safe

[@CherryFruitSnack]

I have no idea if they would have this in Japan. But my son has a life-threatening dairy allergy and about 10 years ago we switched to Earth Balance butter. It is vegan and completely non-dairy. It tastes so much exactly like butter that I have never noticed we switched and I use it for everything from baking to frying to toast.

[@CarinaCoffee]

The dry ice thing seems a bit dangerous, do you leave it to evaporate completely when you return home or use gloves to get the shopping out of the bag? Here in Germany we tend to use insulated cooling bags and I personally have thermal packs (those reusable plastic blocks filled with liquid, I'm sure they're not limited to Germany?) both the bigger hard plastic kind and smaller pouch kind and I take them with me to grocery shop when it's warmer to maintain the cold chain.

[@clogsandsneakers8608]

Great to see the dairy free selection is getting bigger in Japan. I'm a bit envious as it's not growing fast in the Netherlands. I'd love different flavours of soymilk here. I'll prolly fill my fridge with treats. ❤️

[@harrietlovesgeeks]

So happy to see Gluten free in japan! Also, great dairy free stuff thank you for sharing this Emma :D

[@dmsarabia1]

The size of the ice cream container is a definite single serve size - at least in the US. Which they do sell, but the usual small size is a pint. Of course, I think the usual is 1/2 gallon and then the family size of a gallon. You're not lazy - I've seen you cook some amazing things in your small space. It's just cooking for one is not as fun as cooking for 2 or more. That squash looked great. We usually buy them whole - it looked like an acorn squash (I'll have to look back to what you called.

[@oracleofthestars1243]

When it’s that time of the week again, it’s time to vibe people 🥰✌🏻

Hey Emma! Are there Costco's in your area? And have you ever been inside of one? I'm curious of what it's like, and specifically with you exploring it because you have such a fun vibe when vlogging

Thanks for a wonderful video... and have to tell you I finally found that closing music which was only on SoundCloud but, wish I was available on Itunes that I can download it on my phone permanently and listen to at work or in my KIA on road trips. Thanks for putting the information on your video information... also like to say the other bands and sings I absolutely live them and surprised you like all kinds of music.., that’s a good thing! ☺️ Until then have a wonderful weekend and be safe.

I’ve watched this video like 10x just cuz I like your voice and food 😆 can we get another one of these in the new apartment?

[@PetitMew]

As always, loving these videos during lockdown! I know Japan tends to sell things more seasonal produce, but have you seen any products hard to get due to the current situation? In UK any pasta made in Italy was out of stock for weeks! Rice was also impossible to get hold of, and is limited per customer too. It's made me realise how much our little island imports produce and so I'm now buying from local shops a lot more.

[@maggie198333]

I’ve never heard of the dry ice machine. What an odd and yet amazing machine.

[@kurorintenshi]

I feel your plastic pain. Reusable grocery bags you bring from home are banned here right now because International Plague :(

[@f6s12]

kurorintenshi but she didn’t mention how japanese throw their garbage since they have a whole system of what separating each type of garbage and only can dispose of each type of garabage a specific day of the week or some even once a month. and there isn’t much public garbage in public spaces.

[@susie2251]

f6s12 better to not generate the plastic in the first place. Even supposedly recycled plastic, much of it just gets burned.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Exactly what Susie said! Even though there is a lot of good recycling that happens here, most plastic gets burned. No plastic at all is better than burning plastic 👍🏻

[@t-rexmermaid3590]

So you can't use the reusable ones from home? Where are you from? Here in Sweden we just got the price of plastic bags raised and we now use paper bags for buying veggies. So we have paper bags and fabric bags unless we ask the cashier for the more expensive plastic bags by the checkout

[@susie2251]

t-rexmermaid in the US, grocery stores are full service...your groceries are packed in bags for you by the cashier or a bag person at almost all supermarkets (Aldi being an exception). So employees are forced to handle people’s bags they bring from home. In a normal world, that’s fine and states like California have placed fees on using plastic disposable bags. But during the pandemic, that’s now a disease vector for employees and considered high risk. People don’t wash their bags every time they go shopping and even if they did, they could still infect the bags before the cashier is forced to handle them.

[@lux2852]

Green Thai Curry is the most spicy, but i also love it. If you cant cope with it, try yellow or red :)

[@mischievousamoeba]

I paid $20 for 10 strawberries at tsukiji and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The white strawberries... my love for them can not be put into words.

[@jordannpastel8240]

That’s around the same we spend in the uk for a family of 4. I so so so so so need to try that pudding soy milk omg 😍

[@nathaliedrinkstea]

Aaah, Emma!! Thank you so much for this video T_T It's so cool to get to know more possibly vegan options :D When me and my husband went to Japan we were so surprised how delicious the plain soy milk tasted ♥_♥ but there were sooo many flavoured ones, too, which I loved! So cool that there is this food range without any allergens. Yay!

[@audrey9561]

I will always be jealous of all the flavored soy milks japan has. In the US we just have vanilla, chocolate and plain. I recently found some honey vanilla flavored almond milk though which I use to make my oats and it’s soooo good it tastes like a vanilla bean milkshake I swear

[@stephielulu9096]

No worries! I love adding different flavours to tofu it’s so versatile 😄

[@agirlandherpassport]

I know you mentioned it in the beginning but the amount of plastic is amazing. I thought America was bad but this is unreal. Do you know why they use so much plastic?

[@Its-Kat_]

Gawd I want the dairy free options, ÆON? Need to find a big one near me. Never seen any soy ice cream yet. 200en for tortilla? Vegan cheese? Ahhh pretty cheap! I used to be bad with spicy foods, just keep adding a little more each time, you get used to it over time. I can handle super spicy. In Okay Supermarket we can get a package of tidy for like 36en. So cheap! Only veggie option they're is two types of veggie meat but that's it. You get the soy yogurt but plain.

[@bonnienightingale3336]

[@vladutniculaie4347]

This style of videos reminds me of the ones from the tiny apartment.
