Life in Tokyo # 75: The Supermarket

This little piggy went to the supermarket. Not the most exciting video I know, but you wouldn't believe how many times this has been requested. More on the informational side than entertainment. I apologize for that.

Here are some links to import shops I mention in the vid.

Kaldi Coffee Farm

Seijo Ishii

The American Pharmacy (Little food, but carry some US drugs)

Niku no Hanamasa

Sony Plaza (Mostly candy, or sodas)

Don Quixote (Occasionally they have import stuff)

National Azabu (How did I forget this in the video? Thanks to viewers for pointing out this HUGE omission. But I never go there because this place caters to the banker-whanker expat crowd around Hiroo, and is unnecessarily expensive. Its the go to place for import stuff for people with more money than sense. Its a great selection, but its not in my price range even for sentimental purchases. *Note; The also stock turkeys and halloween shit, which is rare.

TC Ombudsman says - Also as an addendum to this post I realize, the shops I focus on in this video really only reflect western import tastes (Though Yamaya has a bit of everything). There is a whole other world of Asian import stores that I personally have no need for. Sadly I get caught up in my western-centric view of Gaijin life here. There are a far greater number of Philippine, Korean, Chinese and Southeast Asian import shops I didn't even begin to touch on (Not to mention Arab states, Africa and South America. I need to stop talking to youtube like it's America. Though statistically my viewers are largely from there. I am misrepresenting the reality of foreigners, generally speaking in Japan, by focusing on western things. But I guess I'll need to save that for another vid. Hey, I'm doing my best.
