"Japan's a sad cheese country" Truer words have never been spoken. After 4 and a half years in Japan, I long for some sharp cheddar (preferably Tillamook brand) and crave it daily.

To those who are wondering why they have no fruits. Although fruits are expensive compared to other countries, many still have at home! They didn’t show in the video because most are kept in the room temperature to ripe further! Especially Japan eats citrus a lot (Mikan, Iyokan, Dekopon… many native varieties) and these are usually kept outside! Citrus fruits aren’t any more expensive here, especially normal oranges or mikan(satsuma). And if you watch anime, you can see how often these fruits show up!

From my german perspective the japanese package sizes seem pretty normal. 4L of milk or 1L jam would just go bad. And I think it has something to do with the fact that stores in Japan or Germany aren’t as far away from homes as in North America.

@@harvestmoon_autumnsky I get the impression that in the US it's common for people to only grocery shop once a fortnight/month, especially if you don't live in the city. In Japan it's common for people to do small grocery trips maybe 2 to 3 times a week. Most people take the train, and walk home from there, and you always pass a grocery store on the way home, so it's much more convenient. I was shocked when a friend in US told me her grocery store was almost a 30min drive away 😳

This is so interesting and well explained! One thing I especially find surprising is that there are more common points between my Italian/European fridge and a Japanese one rather than a western/american one. A lot of vegetables but most of all small sizes, 1L milk, small jam packages, small everything. The main difference is probably that we use tons of dairy products and especially cheese (ricotta is the cheapest!), I would happily live of only asian food except that I couldn't giva up cheese.

Seijo Ishii actually has a decent "real", Japan made bacon. A little pricey, but tasty! OK Market usually has fresh, Hokkaido made mozzarella at a very fair price and good quality. You can also find Imported Blocks of Italian Parmesan at Kaldi. It's cheaper at OK if you can find it! There's also a couple cheese specialty shops, I think in Atre Kichijoji, and in Kagurazaka; although quite expensive!

When I hear English teachers over here complain about food being ‘expensive’ in Japan, I always laugh. Their problem is…not enough soy products! If you try to recreate the fridge that you remember from your home country, then expect to pay for that luxury. But if you just buy what the locals buy at the supermarket, then food is really reasonable here. (Especially if you live in a rural area like me. I get have of my veggies free or cheap from the local farmers.) Great content, as usual Greg! 🍻

I always bring some condiments and candies from my trips to JP, but eat as much as I can while there. I don't think Japanese grocery is any more expensive than the US, except fruits. Admittedly, Japanese products have a lot of packaging, so they are deceptively larger than the actual net weight. With the pandemic and Bidenomics, inflation is out of control in the US, so I think Japan may be cheaper than the US now.

One of the things I love so much about food is how much of a window into culture it is, and I think this especially shows some of the ordinary, everyday stuff that I think is sometimes transmitted a lot less. I know you're in Japan, but this is def a topic I'd love to see for as many countries as possible, it's such a fascinating window into the ordinary everyday things that get taken for granted.

I'm always amazed at how many different "creamy" salad dressing they use around the world. Here in Italy, our typical salad dressing is only extravirgin olive oil, salt and vinegar/freshly squeezed lemon juice. We want to taste the fresh vegetables! Apart from the soy products and seaweeds, I find that a Japanese fridge is very similar to my Italian fridge. Even the size of milk, butter, jam... are exactly like those in the video. Obviously, in Italy we have an insane number of differt kind of cheese, so it's almost impossible to find a fridge without some of it (just to say: in my fridge, right now, I have fresh and aged ricotta, Parmigiano and Pecorino romano in blocks, four different kind of short/medium-aged cheeses and a couple of fresh ones...) I'm looking forward to see what pantry staples are in Japanese households.

Same in India. We do NOT use so-called salad dressings. Ours is very simple. We don't even use oil. Just salt, some sugar if they like, and lemon juice (Vinegar can be really acidic and have a strong smell. Also not our cuisine). We also have spice mixes we make for raw salads which we love. Indians use spices like Jeera, kashmiri chilli and a lot of other stuff in salads. It's for health reasons. Oil can make the salads greasy, also we eat salad for health. So if oil is added to it..nah. But yeah olive oil is healthy ^^ But Indians don't prefer it as it's not to our taste mostly. In India, we have milk in packets or bottles mostly, not tetra packs. Those are crazy expensive. Milk is supplied to us by govt. Butter we make at home mostly. It's easy and most Indians do it. We also make curd (Yogurt) and buttermilk and home. Our Indian cheese, cottage cheese, is also made at home. We only buy butter outside if we are making lots of sweets or savories. So during festival time, we buy them. Amul dairy products are a fav of India ^^ I know Italians love to cook only with fresh ingredients and keep things simple. Very much like India, fresh food, but yes our cooking involves a lot of labor since lots of methods and spices are involved.

Here in Spain as a Mediterranean country, we use almost the same salad dressings as you do in Italy, extra virgen olive oil, vinegar and salt, although not lemon juice. We also eat lots of cheese, fresh cheese but also many kinds of cured cheese, almost every region in our country has its own typical cheese. I don't like anything spicy, so I'm not sure Japanese food is for me.

@@Raquel_Tejera Japanese food is not spicy if that's your primary reason for avoiding it. Even the chili and garlic oil that was shown in the video isn't spicy at all, it's more of a sweet and garlic flavor. Now the cheese is defiantly lacking here in Japan, as a recent immigrant to Japan, I'm already missing the cheese selection from back home.

@@missplainjane3905 1) Generally speaking Japan is developed and advanced as any other modern developed country. Japan being an advance technological country is a myth, in some ways they are behind other countries. A prime example would be the infamous reliance on fax machines to do business. 2) I'm not going to a number on any of these things, is Japan a perfect country definitely not, is it a country I'm happy to now call my home? Yes! Culturally I like how the Japanese hold on to the traditions of the past, while still living a modern life. The unique technology that is common in Japan that I really enjoy is their convenience technology. For example, heated toilet seats with bidets, self-filling bathtubs, video doorbells, heated bathroom mirrors that remove the fog after a shower, and wireless remotes for ceiling light fixtures. I love the traditional architecture here in Japan. At least once a week I take a trip to a local temple or shire so I can admire the architecture and take pictures. Modern buildings in Japan are just boring and plain, at least it is to me. Japanese food is amazing in my opinion, I'm constantly looking for new things to try. There is a lot of unique food to try in each city and prefecture. There are lots of local products to choose from here. Japanese take a lot of pride in locally produced products. Each area is famous for a certain product, for example, the area I live in is famous for persimmons. Living in a rural area in Japan has its perks since the local scenery/landscape is beautiful. Outside of the cities, Japan has lots of wide-open spaces and beautiful mountain views. The Standard of living I would say is on par with any other developed country. Good health care, easy access to reasonably priced food, good-paying jobs, and a good education system. One thing that stands out about Japan, is how safe you feel everywhere you go, be it a big city or out in the middle of nowhere, you'll always feel safe. 3) My experience with the Japanese people, is that they are very welcoming people, kind, and respectful to others around them. 4) Modern, Traditional, and Convenient

@@_w_w_ That's true in some cases. My general rule to know if it was imported or reformulated is the label. If the label is 100% in the native language but has a sticker on the back with the ingredients and nutrition facts translated into English then it is probably the original from that country. If the label is 100% in English or in multiple languages, there's a high probability that it's been reformulated for foreign markets. The Sesame dressing I'm referring to I always found with a Japanese label with the sticker on the back. So it's safe to assume it's the same stuff found in Japan. It was even the same style bottle that I find here in Japan.

Great video as always! I also had a hard time finding bacon and decent German-style bread during my stay in Japan. What I definitely missed after coming back was the pre-sliced cooking-friendly meat like the one you showed as opposed to the usual portions you get in Europe.

During the summer. I do like to make what is referred to as sun tea, which is tea that is steeped in a 2 gallon glass jar and left to sit out in the sun for a few hours, and then mixed with sugar and stored in the fridge.

This episode is very helpful to me. My family likes Japanese dishes, but since I can't read Japanese, I don't know what products to buy when going to Japanese grocery stores. This video taught me what's what in Japanese fridges. 👍

Always have umeboshi, sesame oil, shirataki noodles, pickled veg like cucumber or eggplant sometimes sweet takwan, red pickled ginger for yakisoba or curry. I try to keep kamaboko stocked up for udon, ramen or a hot pot.

3:15 *Kewpie* Mayo is so popular here in the East Coast cities that many Target stores carry it along with S&B Golden Curry roux and snacks like Glico's Pocky and Morinaga Hi-Chew. It's cheaper than the prices found in Japanese grocery stores in NYC or North Jersey.
