Recently found your content, and I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. I have always found the Japanese culture very beautiful ❤️. I am about to travel there to see my favorite sumo star Hoshoryu in person in the July Basho. I've been to many countries while I was in the military. But i recently retired and I have always wanted to see sumo live. While I am in Japan do you have any suggestions for me to do while I am there? The July Basho is in Aichi prefectural gymnasium in Nagoya. So any suggestions? Thanks again 🙏
I wouldn't say it's better, I'd say that Cosco smartly caters to their customers. It would be nice if they integrated foods from other countries. It would be fun to try new things!
There's not quite as big a difference as I thought there might be. Now if you want to talk big differences, other than the kind of food offered, Japanese/Korean/etc/ 7-11's are SO much better than US 7-11l's like, it's night and day.
Depends on where you're located. They don't cater to the midwest locations. They more or less say this is what's available this month and you either will or won't buy it. They regularly take away things which sell out and add items which barely sell at all. I really only shop at Costco for their meat and frozen food departments. Sam's Club has anything else I'm looking for and I can almost always guarantee it will be available and won't be placed in a new location on the sales floor which is an asinine trick Costco loves to pull so you walk past newer items you have zero interest in buying whilst hunting for the tortilla chips that have been relocated for the 4th time in three months.
My wife is a current US Costco employee and I used to be one as well. We actually met there :) We stopped by the one in Sapporo. It was an incredible experience. Even the samples are better with things like grilled tuna and yellowtail. Absolutely amazing.
but here is the thing. A typical permanent employee cashier for Costco makes in a year 3.1 million yen which $21,305 converted. In the US that is poor, but in Japan, that's a really good wage. People forget that Japan had deflation for years so prices have been really low.
Not really compared to Japan Costcos. Not all Costcos in Japan have everything the same. There is variations. I current am in Hawaii and visit Costco regularly. Also, Hawaii Costcos as well as Sam's Clubs no longer have combo pizzas, only cheese or peperoni.
Japanese Costco sushi is cheaper and higher quality than the best sushi restaurant in my province. The tray of curry pan is just magical. My baby loved them. And the huge trays of BLT wrap slices is an amazing deal. So many other unqiue Japanese items too.
@bigmikeobama5314 Im on an island province that was famous for having shoals so dense they stopped ships from sailing. Nobody would live here if not for the abundance of fish. There are countless other regions and nations you could apply the same reasoning to, but it doesn't coorelate to fish prices, or quality, or standards, or work ethic, or cleanliness.
Not really true, you can buy many "off the shelf" brands and have it shipped to your house, you assemble a few pieces and poof a sauna. From Barrels for outside your house to infra-reds you can stick where ever you have space and a proper GFI outlet.
Yeah they have them in lots of stores now. Almost always electric though. I want a traditional hot rock one. That smell of the rocks and the steam is unique.
Costco worker here, they still have onions. they just come in small cups now and you have to ask for them at the register :3 People were becoming to crazy with the onions and also pandemic made it go away. sucks, I loved to load up on onions.
I have to say one thing that Japanese Costco is lacking in is the food court. There is normally not enough seating in Japanese Costco. In Kawasaki, there were only like 4 tables in the place! In one Osaka Costco, there were 6 tables inside, and the rest were outside. Everyone rallied for those coveted inside seats. 😢😭
Never been to a Costco before but working at a Barnes and Noble and visiting others, things always seem better than what we are used to, the old "grass is always greener on the otherside".
I LOVE Black Thunder! If you haven't tried it, it's really close to the Crunch bars that we have. They also sell a small version of Black Thunder that's basically Bunch A Crunch if anyone remembers that candy!!
They had Black Thunder at a few Costco's in California for a little while. Unfortunately I never got around to trying them. Love these videos from Mrs. Eats and Mr. Eats!
As an Australian Costco customer, I'm also crying. So good in Japan!! We went to Japan last year (no Costco, but will look next time) & it was just amazing. Normally going overseas is a great experience, but I'm glad to be home as Australia is a great place. But I had depression for 2 months after Japan as I missed it so much. My wife has agreed with my pleas & we're going back in 2025. Woohoo!
The 180 yen for the hot dog and drink is $1.25 which in the US is the original $1.50 which has been the same since 1985. That will NEVER change as long as Costco keeps the same price. The rotisserie chicken is more expensive. 798 yen is $5.55 compared to the US $4.99. That is the loss leader and in fact the rotisserie chicken losses Costco around 50 million dollars a year.
Very interesting to see the regional differences. Yeah that is pretty cool I would like many of those things here. The Costco's I go to here in SF bay area do have onions in those same dispensers, Also combo pizza, What Costcos in the states don't have that? We also have the iced coffees. There are apparently differences even within the states...
4:02 Kancho Master Mrs.Eats' brain never turns off when an opportunity for Kancho arises. But for real though Japan Costco has got a cool assortment of stuff.
Not costco related, but every time I'm staying in Kobe, I always go to a store that sells the small buns with butter and another type with a small hotdog and cheese!! Yum, yum!
Some of the snacks do make it back to America. In my Costco here in Tacoma Wa, we have the black thunder ones now, and a few of the other ones have made it here as well
They actually had Black Thunder here in the States; I bought them as souvenirs for my coworkers when on a business trip. Yes, I came from America bringing Japanese souvenirs. 🙂 That being said, there's so much that they do have that I don't remember from 13 years ago (when I used to live there)... I gotta take my family next time we visit!
We do have cold coffee drinks at the food court in Costco here in the USA. I wish the Costco stores here and other stores would bring more foods and items from overseas here. I usually hit the Asian markets here to get stuff from overseas. Great video !!!
WE lost onions and relish due to the pandemic. Same with sauerkraut. In fact, we lost half the menu in the food court! They stopped the combo pizza because they could keep up with 2 different pizza types but not three. No more froyo but we do have soft serve ice cream and they just brought in chocolate! We used to have chocolate croissants from the bakery but no more.
There's no onions at my costco food court but that's because they always run out early in the day. I'd love to have that chicken bucket ngl. There's also an iced mocha and iced latte at my costco but they're blended which I don't like. Bulgogi bake > chicken bake. I would eat it all the time lmao Lindor chocolates are popular here too. The sample rush during chocolate season is just awful lmfao (I work for CDS)
Dear Japan, we in Wisconsin are concerned your block of Co-jack as we call Colby-Jack is lasting you months. You showed a Wisconsin person's daily ration of cheese, in that "brick" as you called it. Well Colby cheese is from Colby Wisconsin, down the road a bit from me. Walmart in USA sells wagyu ground beef, which seems to me a perfect waste of wagyu beef, but I think the same of the top prime rib ground hamburgers we sell too, like man why murder a good cut of beef. No costco's around me, never been in one, looks like a slightly fancier Sams Club.
We have onions in the US for the hotdogs but they got rid of the onion grinder and instead serve it in little plastic cups on the side. We also have frozen cold brew coffee both regular and mocha instead of iced lattes. I do miss the combo pizza, the hand dipped ice cream bars, and the take and bake pepperoni pizza. You're very lucky to have the combo pizza.
I can say with absolute certainty without ever having been to a Costco in Japan that it's infinitely superior to the Costco in the U.S. Not because of what they have in them but because of what they don't. I'll let everyone figure out exactly what that is.
Do more of these Japan Costco videos, please! Love it! Do the prepared meals section (besides sushi)! And the frozen entrees dept. Probably there is lots of fish and seafood. I wish we had that Go Go Curry! We do have it in the US at H Mart's little food court area.
hmm we can get chocolate covered macadamia nuts, there is a hawaiian brand that everyone buys, although i don't know if it's at costco specifically. They removed the onions basically because people don't know how to behave. We don't have the combo pizza because of corporate greed.
There are a lot of really delicious food. Especially like it because there are more seafood than in the US. Costco videos from each country are very fun to watch.😊😊
We only have the pepperoni and cheese pizza at Our Costcos in the US while Japan still has the Combo.(Not jealous but that was one of My favorite pizzas before COVID hit in 2020)
US Costco used to have onions just like that. I don't know if they took it out of all of them or just some. It's been a few years since I've been in one.
The Costcos in Canada used to have onions for hotdogs, but once the pandemic hit they never bothered to bring them back. They used to have sauerkraut too.
Wow. Big surprise that Costco stocks a Japanese Costco with items Japanese people will buy. Korean Costcos stock their warehouses with items Koreans buy. It's what Costco does...nothing better or worse, just different. My Korean friends who have come here are all, "wow" when they see my local Costco but I'm sure their own Costco is just as impressive. No matter where you live, Costco supplies items in their warehouses that will sell...they make loads of money catering to the local demographic...no more, no less.
We had the onion chopping machines at Costco in American until Covid hit and then they took them away and haven’t brought them back. Now they just put chopped onions in a little cup. Definitely not as much fun. And we still have Pizza, by the slice or by the pie. At least we do at Costco on the West Coast.
I was just at Costco in the US and they gave me onions. You have to ask for it they have them in little cups next to the person handing out the food behind the counter.
I just want to say some Costcos have the onion machine. But ever since covid they took them out. Now you can only get onions and a little cup and they're always out!!
I used to go to costco a lot and i will say besides the food it looks pretty similar to ours here in the US. The reason i stopped going there is because unless you shop there enough per month paying the fee for their membership isn't worth it and after a while you're just eating the same junk over and over and if you aren't extremely careful about it a good portion of your food goes bad before you can eat it so i only maybe recommend going to costco for most maybe once every other year at best.
Yeah, it's probably better because, as it turns out, having a largely unregulated economy focused entirely on profit isn't the best thing for consumers 🤷🏻♂️😅 who knew?
Exactly!!! Also, America exports highly quality foods for the most money and brings in low quality foods and turns around and sells them at highly quality prices, should there be a law against that, smh.
My local Costco has gotten some Japanese items. I’ve been able to find stuff like the big bags of Black Thunder, Imuraya Castellated, and frozen packs of oden. Makes me hope that additional snacks can find their way there. The sushi selection isn’t huge, but it doesn’t look too bad there, either. No A4 Wagyu, though. 😅 Maybe one day.
I was told that Japanese Costco and American Costco are very similar if you buy the same items, but Japanese Costco has a much greater selection of Japanese food. I have been told that the Japanese Costco food court has a much greater selection compared to US Costco according to my wife who frequently visits Japan. I would like to visit Costco in Japan on my next trip to Japan and see for myself.
wow of all the things to be #1... colbyjack cheese... lol thats funny from an American POV because that's almost like, the 'vanilla ice cream' or plaine-yogurt of cheese to us.... it's cool that folks over there aren't adverse to trying a real hotdog- I'd have thought that's one American food that would seem low-brow to a lot of Japanese folks
We don't have a Costco here in my state of Australia :( Black Thunder is delicious. First I thought it sounded boring. I very wrong. Plus all the fun flavours 🤤
Unless they've changed, it's been a while since I've been to one, but Costco food court in America does have onions for hot dogs. Here's something that will blow your mind. International or multinational companies cater their inventory to the country they're in. So the things we like in America won't all be at the company by the same name in a different country. If you didn't know for instance, there are McDonalds in many countries and all of them have menus with some items unique to that country. Or, for example, I like the fried chicken at McDonalds in Thailand, where McDonalds in America doesn't sell fried chicken, no one would buy it. Or KFC in China has burgers. It doesn't make one "superior" a better word choice would be different. Sometimes I'm disappointed when I go to restaurants and stores in different countries wanting a taste of home and I'm disappointed that it's a little different and I have to make the best of the few Items they do have that reminds me of home.
i have heard that a lot of products in both Japan and South Korea are fairly high quality compared to their American sold counterparts. More expensive but much better quality also.
The trouble is, when I go to Costco I want to get those rare American things I can't normally get here. Sure I can find a few of them, but I'm often let down... :(
we used to have that onion dispenser and also relish for many many years in US Costco. They stopped having it at some point. I'm guessing it was because someone decided to abuse it and ruined it for everyone. Or it could've been covid related.
The fact that they still have crank operated condiment dispensers so Japanese kids today can get the same experience that us muricans had when we were kids back in the 90s and early 00s...ahh the childhood memories.

We don't need saunas in Texas Costco, you just sit outside May through September and you get a free sauna.
can confirm, i lived in dallas
You said it, Texas weather is no joke.
Don't need one in Florida either.
True I lived there in the early 80's it reached a dry 117° fahrenheit in Pecos, Texas
My aunt got a home sauna at costco about 10 years ago here in the US. They sometimes carry it
I wouldn't say it's better, I'd say that Cosco smartly caters to their customers. It would be nice if they integrated foods from other countries. It would be fun to try new things!
I went there in January. It’s not better as you said the products are catered to the local population.
Yeah, that would be nice. They probably already do, though. Costco has limited space, so we can't expect to see too many limited time offerings.
There's not quite as big a difference as I thought there might be. Now if you want to talk big differences, other than the kind of food offered, Japanese/Korean/etc/ 7-11's are SO much better than US 7-11l's like, it's night and day.

In Canada, there are regional products and imported cold cuts and seafood.
Around Christmas, you can find food from Belgium, Italy, France, Spain...
My wife is a current US Costco employee and I used to be one as well. We actually met there :) We stopped by the one in Sapporo. It was an incredible experience. Even the samples are better with things like grilled tuna and yellowtail. Absolutely amazing.
Question. Can I use my American Costco card to let me and my wife in? Or do I need to pay for a Japanese Costco card?
@markmoreno7295 You can use the same card!
but here is the thing. A typical permanent employee cashier for Costco makes in a year 3.1 million yen which $21,305 converted. In the US that is poor, but in Japan, that's a really good wage. People forget that Japan had deflation for years so prices have been really low.
I have a picture of a ghost on a tv.
@ShadowsandCityLights how do you know?
If you live in a very Asian area in the US, like Alhambra CA or Honolulu Hawaii, the Costcos there are pretty amazing.
I’d argue San Francisco as well

I remember they tried it in one Costco in the Central Valley of California. They discontinued it since it wasn't selling enough.
hmmm interesting 🤔 👀
Home saunas are available in the states, though they have to be special ordered because of home space. They have to be custom to each house.

The one I stop at doesn't have onions.
@12:20 Happy powder? This sounds like something the members of Fleetwood Mac would enjoy.

Exactly!!! Also, America exports highly quality foods for the most money and brings in low quality foods and turns around and sells them at highly quality prices, should there be a law against that, smh.
Japanese Dr. Pepper has the same ingredients, its just a little less sweeter
They sell most of this in Vancouver
You have the combination pizza in Japan? I’m so jealous, they discontinued it here in the US & it was my favorite pizza
Is that the Amagasaki Costco? That's our local Costco!
You guys have shrimp katsu burgers and clam chowder at the food court. That sounds so good.
My local Costco has gotten some Japanese items. I’ve been able to find stuff like the big bags of Black Thunder, Imuraya Castellated, and frozen packs of oden. Makes me hope that additional snacks can find their way there.
The sushi selection isn’t huge, but it doesn’t look too bad there, either. No A4 Wagyu, though. 😅 Maybe one day.
I am so jealous of Japan Costco! Such great food and sushi!!👍🏼💜
I was told that Japanese Costco and American Costco are very similar if you buy the same items, but Japanese Costco has a much greater selection of Japanese food. I have been told that the Japanese Costco food court has a much greater selection compared to US Costco according to my wife who frequently visits Japan. I would like to visit Costco in Japan on my next trip to Japan and see for myself.
They sell Sauna Machine at Costco, in Québec, Canada. Just saw one 2 or 3 month ago.
Yay a new video 🎉 I love your videos
Ah! A new Mrs. Costco video! Time to like and comment.
Yes, it is!!
wow of all the things to be #1... colbyjack cheese... lol thats funny from an American POV because that's almost like, the 'vanilla ice cream' or plaine-yogurt of cheese to us.... it's cool that folks over there aren't adverse to trying a real hotdog- I'd have thought that's one American food that would seem low-brow to a lot of Japanese folks
We don't have a Costco here in my state of Australia :( Black Thunder is delicious. First I thought it sounded boring. I very wrong. Plus all the fun flavours 🤤
Refreshing day
I didn't expect Colby Jack cheese to be the top selling item in Costco. Popcorners though are my favorite snack!
If you live in the Bay Area in California you can find a lot of this stuff in Japan town.
Honestly would love to see a 'Japanese Home Depot' and compare it. Or the equivalent if there are no Home Depots in Japan yet!
I've seen Home Depots in Mexico.
Unless they've changed, it's been a while since I've been to one, but Costco food court in America does have onions for hot dogs. Here's something that will blow your mind. International or multinational companies cater their inventory to the country they're in. So the things we like in America won't all be at the company by the same name in a different country. If you didn't know for instance, there are McDonalds in many countries and all of them have menus with some items unique to that country. Or, for example, I like the fried chicken at McDonalds in Thailand, where McDonalds in America doesn't sell fried chicken, no one would buy it. Or KFC in China has burgers. It doesn't make one "superior" a better word choice would be different. Sometimes I'm disappointed when I go to restaurants and stores in different countries wanting a taste of home and I'm disappointed that it's a little different and I have to make the best of the few Items they do have that reminds me of home.
They have Black Thunder Chocolate at American Costco in California, but only a few. Most of that makes me so jelly though.
They USED to have onions at Costco USA. That was discontinued around COVID time. Too bad, I liked them
The chopped onions are in the fridge in America, you have to ask for them. Just did it less an an hour ago
we use that poop bag, ordered from amazon straight to Bangkok!! i love it
i have heard that a lot of products in both Japan and South Korea are fairly high quality compared to their American sold counterparts. More expensive but much better quality also.
I’d have to double check but I thought we had coffee at Costco Cafe in US. I still don’t understand why they stopped making the supreme pizza
I just love that my Costco membership card works world wide!
The trouble is, when I go to Costco I want to get those rare American things I can't normally get here. Sure I can find a few of them, but I'm often let down... :(
we used to have that onion dispenser and also relish for many many years in US Costco. They stopped having it at some point. I'm guessing it was because someone decided to abuse it and ruined it for everyone. Or it could've been covid related.
The fact that they still have crank operated condiment dispensers so Japanese kids today can get the same experience that us muricans had when we were kids back in the 90s and early 00s...ahh the childhood memories.
I have tried some of these stuff at an oriental market I go to some are pretty good.
We have some gogo curry locations here in the US.
Oh to have a travel portal to step through from my home country to other countries, just to shop at their Costco's 🙏🙏
