We have thee largest Costco here but our family calls it 'The 300'. No matter what we go for there and all of our best efforts, you don't leave without spending at least 300!
Same! At my local Japanese grocery stores, they all had Canadian pork! Chicken was either from Japan or Brazil (usually the cheapest). For beef, it was either Japan, Australia (the most affordable) or the US. 😆 - A fellow Canadian 🇨🇦
What's more absurd is that Canadian pork is more expensive in Canadian grocery stores than in Japan. In Japan, Canadian pork loin is priced at 70-120 JPY per 100g (approx 0.65-1.10 CAD), while in Canada, it typically costs around $1.50-2.50 per 100g. It’s baffling that pork from Canada is cheaper on the other side of the world. This highlights serious issues in the Canadian grocery market, especially with large companies like Loblaw dominating so many stores.
Yes...as long as it's not American pork because they allow the pork feed to literally be full of like spare pig parts so the feed is cannibalizing and I am just expecting some mad pig disease to break out.
@@ArohaStill idk where you heard this but as someone who has lived on a farm. that's fully illegal you can even look it up. what you hear and what is real is vastly different and that's why we need to do our research before believing stuff online. this is a great example of how its damaging.
This is absolute torture watching you eat all this tasty food. I'm definitely gonna buy the exact same sushi platter and seafood when I fly to Japan and visit Costco there.
The hashed beef reminds me of the one episode from Samurai Gourmet where he ordered the hashed beef and it looked so good I had to make it myself because he made it look delectable 🤤
I fought I was watching a giant advertisement for that store haha. But most things did look good I must say! Ofcourse that sushi can't compare to really "fresh" sushi but for the price it seems really good
Canada Pork is terrific. For a while, Ontario had a long campaign calling it the other white meat and telling you to put Pork on Your Fork. We didn't have that Boar Taint problem the US had during the pandemic. Also, sometimes, heritage brands. Try out Seed to Sausage in Sharbot Lake. Or any Tamworth Breeds.
"hash beef" is actually "hayashi beef". Despite a common English translation as "hashed beef", that is only conjecture. It is not hashed. (which is a dish of chopped meat and potatoes).
yeah but no its hayashi rice and the beef is hashed lol "Hayashi rice, also called hashed beef, is a Japanese dish of beef stew served with rice" if for some reason you needed proof
Japanese Costco seems like Japanese 7-11; knocking it out of the park in comparison! I recall that American Costco is good, too, mind you, as opposed to American 7-11.
Too cool. Mike, I miss the first hot pot video i saw.. You were with other 2 people. Miss it. Send a link if u remember. I think that's when became a hotpot dumper. Lol
Oh you make me hungry while watching the at first the drink was look so interesting to taste they look great and I know the taste was good and your dinner was so amazing your food are so interesting to eat I love it Thanks for sharing your wonderful day with great food
am i the only one who makes food that will last long enough for this mans videos? i just downed like a pound of mac n cheese not thinking lmfao. he just makes it all sound so good if im not eating it feels wrong
Keep in mind though most of the fish for the sushi was probably farm raised hence the cheap price. You cannot compare Tsukiji because they are using fresh wild fish.
I live in Japan and have been to Costco countless times. The sushi is not bad but to say it’s that good is kind of an exaggeration. The rice is definitely on the harder side.
Yes, I agree. If you lived outside of Japan and saw this sushi, you would think it looks delicious and reasonably priced. But what if you lived in Japan? There are so many better options.
@@qcommonsense but clearly not or else they wouldn't sell in Japan, so even for Japanese citizens it's a worthwhile purchase. He even mentions the size of it being 3x the size of sushi he gets at Japanese restaurants. And you can always steam the rice back to life at home if it's a bit hard.
for a food vlogger he doesnt half like packaged rubbish - he goes from 3 day smoked meats to saying how fantastic pot noodles are - very strange combo 😄
HELLO FOUND THIS VIDEO AND ENJOY YOUR CONTENT..LOVE HOW NATURAL YOU ARE AND LOVE ❤️ THE FOOD YOU EAT FROM 7.11 OR LAWTONS VERY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH. 😀
I haven't been to Costco in a while, but I'm going today. I'll check what we have in Canada now. It's surprising how much stuff we still have available in Canada, like the snack wraps at McDonald's. 🤤 🌯
I think at some point you have to ask HOW the prices at Costco are so much lower than other local stores. That sushi for example - I have a feeling that the fishermen are getting SCREWED over the price they're selling to Costo. Sure, it's maybe a more reliable sale, but I'd love to see the comparative economics behind it.
Not sure if it's different in Japan, but how it works in America is the Costco buys in bulk vs small shops that buy more reasonable sized portions. Bulk gets a discount where smaller purchases get an upcharge, usually because they have an ongoing deal with the providers.
Nothing is ever new with Mike Chen it’s either Singapore, Japan, Korea and America not much adventuring or variety. There’s only so many times you can say omg this is the best thing I have had until u invalidate urself lol
Bye Greg...let us know when you start marking places off on your passport and start posting your world wide never visited twice travels. We'll wait...oh you are going through Taco bell's drive thru for the 3rd time this month, ahhhh I see. SHUT IT!
have you ever had a bad experience with food??? ive been watching you for about 6 years now. and all that i have seen is you eating super good food. but i have never seen you have a bad experience with any dish you have had.
He doesn’t like to damage small businesses so if he goes somewhere he doesn’t like he doesn’t post about it. At the end of the day he knows places are trying their best and things can go wrong at the time of his visit for different reasons. However that obviously doesn’t apply to corporations like reviewing McDonald’s. He’s talked about this approach on a few of his videos👍. Hope that helps
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Only Mikey Chen says Instant Cup noodles are 10 out of 10 while in other videos eating Michelin Ramen and saying they are also 10 out of 10. Not everything can be 10 out of 10 Mickey. Your opinion becomes irrelevant.
No, you can have instant noodles that are a 10 compared to other instant noodles while also having Michelin ramen being a 10 compared to other shop ramen. They aren't being compared against each other, just others in the same category.
Anyone not eating sushi is missing out, Mike went from not eating to loving it. It's the best.
agreed i love sushi
ケーキを皿に置かないで直食いするの好き
すげぇ親しみを感じるわ
Very impressed with the sushi selection. Looks fresh and delicious. Can't beat the price either. Thanks for sharing.
2:01 end of ads
Thank you!!! 2 minutes of ads that’s dreadful!!!
No….the ads breaks are just beginning….it’s too much man!
ty
I like Costco foods but honestly it’s not made for a single person like me you need to put it in portions and vacuum seal it and freeze it
I wish American Costco would bring back the combo pizza. 🍕
We have thee largest Costco here but our family calls it 'The 300'. No matter what we go for there and all of our best efforts, you don't leave without spending at least 300!
Great video Mikey! I I wouldn't expect anything less than quality in a Japanese Costco. You are looking very healthy too. Be well💜🙏
Those frozen Ipoudo noodles are tsukemen.
6:23: “This is definitely more than enough food for the next day or so….” 😳 That would last me AND my husband a week!😂
Omg so silly cuz it’s so much food ! Tee hee hee!
I am Canadian and we buy Canadian pork. I have never seen Japan pork in grocery stores.

Canadians
@@TY-bh3tu Canadian here: boycott Loblaws! Groceries shouldn't be as expensive as they think we'll tolerate!
Came here to comment this. What is he talking about? 😅
In Canada we buy Canadian Pork.
We Canadians do not buy Japanese pork! We do however have our own pork here that we enjoy.
Yes...as long as it's not American pork because they allow the pork feed to literally be full of like spare pig parts so the feed is cannibalizing and I am just expecting some mad pig disease to break out.

That sushi platter you ate was definitely a deal!!!
Canadian here and ive never even heard of japanese pork. We buy Canadian pork 😊
This is absolute torture watching you eat all this tasty food. I'm definitely gonna buy the exact same sushi platter and seafood when I fly to Japan and visit Costco there.
Oh wow! That sushi tray looks amazing! I would be in heaven!! It all looks so good I want to try everything!
from Canada, this giving me new appreciation for our pork now 😁
I miss the Combo Pizza. Why did they ever discontinue it in the United States.
The hashed beef reminds me of the one episode from Samurai Gourmet where he ordered the hashed beef and it looked so good I had to make it myself because he made it look delectable 🤤
Reasons to move to japan:
1) food in general just food
2)JDM legends
3) Samurai/ Shinobi culture
4) Costco still has supreme pizza😂😭
Japan has some of the best pizza in the world, the only other places that come close are the east coast of the usa and italy
プルコギベイクあなたの国のコストコに売っていますか？私は日本のコストコのフードコートにあるプルコギベイクが大好きです
You forgot weeb
I fought I was watching a giant advertisement for that store haha. But most things did look good I must say! Ofcourse that sushi can't compare to really "fresh" sushi but for the price it seems really good
As a Canadian, I can say with certainty I've never purchased Japanese pork. It's always from Canada. Nor have I ever seen it for sale.
My favorite pizza is Supreme that slice you had their looks fire
Ugh the food from Japan Costco loooks sooo good that’s he’s showing makes me want to see what other countries Costcos food looks like
Hey Mike! Happy Saturday. Enjoy! 🐞🤗
Remember when he wouldn’t touch sushi??
yup and didn't like uni
We been here for a while
Just watch him for entertainment, can’t take him seriously on any food critiques because everything is Uuuhmazing.
Brooooooo I was there and I remember never getting sushi content from him, thank god he changed his mind
Trueeeee
🙋🏿♀️Hey Mikey, It's 5:19am and I'm not feeling to good🛌🏿but as usual I'm starving watching you.. your videos always make me hungry immediately.🍽️🤭💕👍🏿
Strictly Dumpling's videos are always great 👍🏿👍🏿
That sushi plate is heaven!!
lol
Not from Costco
Lmao
He is in Japan

That’s like fast food quality
Heaven

11:59 WORM IN PINK SUSHI??

In the US here... what is the "Boar Taint" pork problem?
Australia had the same campaign in the 90’s.
Scallops is my favourite next to tuna
i really love this groceries stores videos!!!!
Now I want me some SUSHI 😤, thx a lot Mikey 😂😂😂...Japans Costco is so different from the US's Costco...great spread, enjoy Mikey ❤😊

yeah but no its hayashi rice and the beef is hashed lol "Hayashi rice, also called hashed beef, is a Japanese dish of beef stew served with rice" if for some reason you needed proof
funny how the Supreme/Combo pizza is still available in just about all other countries except the US where it was born. -feeling cheated!
Yes... It's the only pizza I'd ever eat at Costco.
You don't see him swallow the food! Most of the time ! Check it out👈
16:55 He has "emergency" rice :) :)
I also have emergency rice.
One day, Mike will be able to say "arigato gozaimasu"
you are aware he can speak Japanese right?
I have not been to any Costco outside of U.S.A. But the Honolulu is crazy!
I wish there is Costco here but my city is way too small, I would 100% have a field day if there is one
I wished Mike and ShoPhoCho would do a collab together. :D
Cheese tart from Japan is my favorite!! I hand carry it home!
Japanese Costco seems like Japanese 7-11; knocking it out of the park in comparison! I recall that American Costco is good, too, mind you, as opposed to American 7-11.

Why does it sound like you're gargling when you say "perfect" ?? 😂😂😂
He might have some kind of lisp
@FangGuard lol..nah..he doesn't always do it...just when he's trying to be dramatic when something is good 😆
It feels like everything goes into Mikey's mouth is good.
Those cup noodles look dreary yet you’re singing it praises like it’s gold. Er…..
Keep in mind though most of the fish for the sushi was probably farm raised hence the cheap price. You cannot compare Tsukiji because they are using fresh wild fish.
Wish Costco USA would bring back combo pizza 😢
I live in Japan and have been to Costco countless times. The sushi is not bad but to say it’s that good is kind of an exaggeration. The rice is definitely on the harder side.
Maybe considering the price it's good? I never had it in any Costco, they don't have those on my country so I can't compare how it is for the price
As a sushi chef the price is really good , and the size of the pieces makes sense to say is good
o, interesting. tbh i was considering moving to japan just so i can have the costco sushi platter once a week
Yes, I agree.
If you lived outside of Japan and saw this sushi, you would think it looks delicious and reasonably priced.

why on God's green earth would you microwave anything in existence for 15 minutes ??????????? @15:16
Just a FYI a majority of Canadians eat Canadian pork not Japanese pork.
yeah why would canadians buy japanese pork
Maybe he is thinking beef lol
@@Crustee0we also eat canadian beef. and canadian chicken...
Those instant noodles cant possibly be that good. Looked like colored water noodles with a tiny sad shrimp 😂
I think Mikey is high on MSG
In Canada, we mostly consume canadian pork tbh. One of the best in the world
7:13 Portuguese bean soup!!!
I just wanna travel for food because of Mike

I still remember when Mike refused to eat raw fish. He’s really evolved over the years!
Does he like broccoli yet?
Surprised to see they are selling Canadian meats in Jp!!
Costco is awesome! Thanks For this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

11:51 the rice and salmon though, much rice than the meat
Japanese customs: what is the purpose of your visit?
Me: to eat 😂
Customs: understandable, have a food day🙏
Looks wonderful Mike!
What do you do with the leftovers?
In Canada we actually eat Canadian meat.
Who else has been here since before Mikey ate sushi?
have you ever had a bad experience with food??? ive been watching you for about 6 years now. and all that i have seen is you eating super good food. but i have never seen you have a bad experience with any dish you have had.
On some occasions but not often
His Carolina Reaper curry was definitely a bad experience 😂
I think he went to South America once and gotten a case of bad food poisoning.

Why do they use half opened fridges? Wont it affect the cold temperature a lot?
We don't buy Japanese pork in Canada. We probably do import them because we got enough here 😅
US Costco get these here!!! I'm looking at you Montgomeryville.
SO much umami
I remember Mike when you weren't so into Sushi... How times have changed!
Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa to braddah Mike Chan for another 🔥& 💣video as ALWAYS!

So a cooked scallop and raw taste about the same? I love scallops!
I love squid sushi it’s my favorite
I miss supreme pizza at Costco in WA
I've had salmon only once in my life and it was magical. Didnt taste like fish at all haha
