Hey guys! So I got an unexpected package in the mail the other day and it

こんにちはー！この前謎の荷物が届いて

程度の副詞

reminded me that I really wanted to make another video! I made a similar video

その荷物の中身に対しての動画を作りたいと思いました〜！前も似てる内容の

years ago about how food in Japan really isn't that expensive...

動画だしたけど、結構古い。日本の食べ物はそんなに高くないよー！とのことです！

I get lots of comments from people that either came here on vacation or they

よく日本に来たことある人からコメントがくるんですけど・・・

used to live here and they say that they couldn't stand how expensive food was

「日本の食べ物高すぎるー！」とかね

自分は「は？高くないだろう」といつも思っちゃうw

While some things are expensive I'll be showing you some examples of things

もちろん高いものもあるんですが

that I also feel are ridiculously expensive

そういう結構高いものを少し見せるけど

However most things that you need on a daily basis you can get for really

reasonable prices and sometimes a lot cheaper than in Canada

すごくリーズナブルだと思います！カナダより安いし

The package that I got in the mail, lemme show you guys because this is just really amazing

あっその謎の荷物見せますね！

So this arrived and it was from my friend and I opened it up and I saw this

友達からですけど、開けたら・・・

and it's like a melon pamphlet and then inside was Hello Kitty holding a melon

メロンのパンフレットがあって、キティちゃんがいますね！

and I had a feeling this was one of those specialty melons with like Hello Kitty

「えーまさかのキティちゃんメロン！？」と思って

face on it or something but I wasn't sure because I knew those are really freaking expensive

「いやー それは高すぎだから違うでしょー」

ジャジャーン！キティちゃんメロンでした！

So as you can see this is a melon that has been grown so

Hello Kitty's face will be imprinted on the skin of the melon

I have no idea what the current exchange rate is but i'll put the American price

in here after I look it up. But that's a lot of money for a melon

一個のメロンでその値段ってすごいなーと思いました

Now if you go into stores, grocery stores here you will find lots of fruit that

スーパーに入ると、結構高めなフルーツ

has insane prices at least for what I'm used to say in canada or other countries

がいっぱいあります！（まあ、カナダとか、行ったことある国よりは高い）

that I've been to. Japanese fruit seems very expensive and then you'll see

それに比べるとすごく高く感じます

Hello Kitty melon on news sites saying that it cost 5000 yen and

こういう特別なメロンがよく海外のニューズサイトに載ってたりして

you'll get this weird impression that japanese food is really freaking

みんな「えー日本高いな〜〜！！」と思っちゃいます

expensive! But honestly stuff like rice, seaweed, miso paste, soy sauce

でもお米とか、海苔、味噌、醤油

anything that is typical Japanese diet is going to be really cheap

そういう日本食によく使われるものはすっごい安いんですよ！

A lot cheaper than say going shopping at a japanese grocery store in Canada

カナダにある日本人向けのスーパーより全然安いし

なので、日本食を食べればオッケーです！

So if you can eat Japanese food while you're here

そんなお金はかからないです！日本にいるので

it's going to be really cheap for you! So don't come to Japan and expect to be

安く外国のものが買えると思わないでほしいです。オートミール、チアシード、キヌアとかね！

able to get foreign foods like say oatmeal or chia seeds or quinoa

日本食に使われてないものなので

you know stuff that Japanese people don't normally eat! Those kind of things

you're not going to be able to find in regular grocery stores

スーパーで見つけても結構高いですよ（当たり前）

first off... and if you do find them they're probably going to be very expensive

でも！外国の食べ物をもっと安く買えるところを

But I'm going to tell you guys 2 places where you can get foreign

私はよくここで買い物してます

Those are the two places that I do lots of my shopping because there are lots of

食べたい外国のものがいっぱいありますので

foreign foods that I like to include in my diet

Ok, so the first awesome website that I wanna tell you guys about is iHerb.com

２年前から友達とかツイッターとか

コメント蘭とかで「このサイトすごくいいよー！」

and in the comments on YouTube had been recommending me this site for probably

と言われたけど、面倒くさかったから最近まではチェックしなかったです

over two years now and I was lazy and I didn't check it until recently when I

最近nutritional yeastが欲しくて、やっと

really wanted to get some nutritional yeast, I think was the reason that I

iherb.comのサイトをチェックしました！

originally looked into it. But I feel really stupid for not doing it until now

because that site is SO CHEAP! You can get amazing prices on stuff and

４０００円以上買ったら送料が無料になりました！

I think for Japan if you order over $40 worth of groceries or products

もともと安いのに、送料が無料なんて

it will be free shipping to Japan and the prices are amazing to begin with and

カナダで買うより安いじゃん！！

then with the free shipping it's just like shopping in canada with even a

本当にすごいよね〜外国のものいっぱいあるし

ベジタリアンやヴイーガンのものもいっぱいあるし

so I'm just mind-blown! You can get foreign products, you can get lots of

普通のスーパーで買えないものをここで簡単に安く買えます！

health foods, lots of vegetarian and vegan stuff that you normally wouldn't

iHerb.com様〜本当にありがとうございます！w

be able to get in grocery stores here. So iHerb.com is just a really awesome

どうやってこれがビジネスになるんだろう

website! So, THANK YOU iHerb.com people for making your website

and I have no idea how you make any money

＊＊＊ ごめんなさい。手首がすごく痛くなっているので、字幕はまた明日続けます！ご了承ください m(_ _)m＊＊＊

I'm blown away that you can run a business with these prices

＊＊＊ iherbのサイトを使いたかったら、下のリンクからアクセスすると500円安くなります♪ ＊＊＊

Couple things that I get from that website all the time are nutritional yeast flakes

They probably sound disgusting if you have no idea what these are. I guess you

could call them like a parmesan cheese replacement! I put this on my pasta

and what else do I put this on... anything where I want kind of like a cheesy taste and

And plus they're fortified with additional B-vitamins so... It gives it a nice flavour

and they have lots of vitamins in them and yeah it's just really healthy for you

And I also get my acai powder from iHerb.com

now I went shopping at a grocery store with Taylor recently

They do have some products that you aren't able to find on iHerb

and in the other place i'm gonna be talking about in a sec so it is good if

you're looking for like a certain product, however it's very very expensive

The one thing that I did buy there was fresh bread! They had a bakery with some

nice bread, so I do get some breads from there and pitas! They have great pitas!

But again pretty expensive! So I saw this acai powder at that grocery store and it

was approximately 5,000 yen and I just thought that was way too much. I didn't

want to pay that. I figured I'll just go home and look online so I looked it up

on iHerb and it was like 2000 yen or something!

More than half price (off... is what I meant to say)

and I think that's an awesome price for what it is. There's tons in here!

I add it to my smoothies and I make acai bowls with it and it's very healthy

for you so that's just great that I can get it such a cheap price even though

i'm in Japan where people don't normally eat this kind of stuff

I forgot to mention that i get my raw plant-based protein powder from iHerb and this is

just amazing!! My friend Val recommended it to me THANK YOU VAL

it's chocolate flavor it tastes super good! I like to add a scoop of it to my

add some peanut butter to it that also tastes amazing

and this stuff is soy and gluten free, dairy free obviously, and its raw so it

it's just really good stuff you can use it both pre and post-workout and yeah I

think you guys would really like this so if you're looking for a good plant based

protein powder super recommend this one and iHerb has a really good price

a lot cheaper than the price that I found on amazon!

Another random product that I got off there, freeze-dried beet juice

I don't know... honestly I don't know why i got it, I think i was just really craving

beets and I thought I'll just get some beet juice powder and i'll make a beet

drink instead. It kind of tastes like dirt

but in a good way...? If that makes sense...

it tastes like beets, so if you know what beets taste like, that's what it tastes like

it's actually kind of yummy, I was surprised! And again very
