Hey everyone! How is your weekend going so far?? ๐
As mentioned in the post-video small talk, I had to think about lightweight/not-too-bulky/long-lasting products whenever I was going back to the UK from Japan ๐ I actually brought a lot of these back to the UK when I was a student haha
Please make sure to check the regulations when entering your country though! Some countries donโt allow fish/meat products to be brought in, and in this case you wonโt be able to take back some of the products I mentioned in the video ๐ข
Too much cooking instruction time
You have great suggestions. It would be nice if you held each product still for a few seconds longer. I tried to take screenshots for my first trip to Japan. Kind of hard when you are moving your hands so fast.
You aren't allowed to bring meat products to the EU, they might throw everything away at customs and you might get a fine if it's large quantities.
Also that hondashi brand is mostly salt and msg. Ask for a better one๐
Yes! Snacks!
Appreciate another supermarket video for Japan Sarah Iโll be sure to keep this one in mind when I come hopefully soon here and what I really want to get good to eat especially!! Thank you so much again for the help for here always!! ๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ

Awesome video! Thank you!โค
Would love to see snack section
More information and on japanese food please plus cook it and show final dish good jobโค๐
Is it worth it for me to ship from Japan to the States instead of trying to fit everything in a suitcase
Hijiki i miss it a lot ๐
I once bought food stuffs to take home to Hawaiiโฆ half of what I bought was taken away due to certain restrictions. I heard no beef products.. any type of beef. If it said beef product on packaging dont bring back to Hawai. So I made sure no beef in labeling. I had cup ramens taken away about 10 of the,๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ข
Yes snacks video please๐
Love your channel. Subbed ๐

I drink a lot of mugicha. It can be brewed in cold or boiling water (a bit of a stronger flavor in boiling). Amazon carries it if I run out, although the price is much higher.
this is amazing! thank You!

Remember we cannot bring things into the USA that have any meat products even in powder form. It would be nice if you could tell us if the items contain pork, beef or chicken vs seafood.
I love the Dango from the oshiruko, do you know if there is some dango sold separately?
I really enjoyed this video! Greetings from Brazil
Thank You. I am so curious about Japanese cuisine and snacks. Watching from Colorado USA ๐บ๐ธ โฅ๏ธ
Your cadence is so natural. You're pretty much fluent in English!!
I usually add a little bit of meat, onion, or nasu, etc., to the ready-made curry and itโs delicious! But you need japanese rice to get the real thing lol!
Great video! I live in Japan but I love to learn what ingredients and items Japanese people buy and how they use them. It's also interesting to see how my tastes change over time. When I first came to Japan, I didn't like wakame or nori very much, and I was definitely not a fan of mugicha. But now I really enjoy them! An ice cold glass of mugicha in the summer is perfect. I also didn't like furikake the first time, but I guess it's time to give it another try. Thank you!
What brand? This video does not do anything for me๐ข
I will definitely look for the Mugicha.
78K views….I would be tempted to do all videos like this one, but who want's to do the same thing all the time๐ Keep up the variety Sarah, I have been here since your NiziU debut reaction.
