Epic Japanese Supermarket Tour (1 Hour) at Mammy Mart マミーマート | JAPANESE STORE TOURS

hey everybody good afternoon it's corey here i am outside of this supermarket called mommy motto mommy mart's it's a large uh kind of supermarket chain i guess out here in chiba i don't know about other areas but uh today we're gonna go inside we're going to check out what a japanese supermarket is like so i usually don't come here this is a little bit out of the way it takes me about 15 minutes by bike to get here and i actually have six other supermarkets near my house within walking distance so i usually don't come here but so that's probably why i chose to come and film this place because it's a lesser frequented one and they might not recognize my face or something like that the other ones i go to all the time and they'll they know who i am um i wanted to point this out i didn't see this before i've been to this place before but this is new to me this is a recycle center you drop off a plastic or newspapers cardboard and you get points that you can use for shopping here we're going handheld without stabilizer so i do apologize if the video is shaky okay so we're getting a cart here so in japan um shopping carts aren't like in the united states or other countries where they're really large there's these small ones and you put a basket in it the only time i've ever seen a large shopping cart is like costco there we go that's our cart so right off the bat right into the produce section man check out these grapes 1 2008 yen for a bundle of grapes that's a little over 10 dollars [Music] yeah okay so i haven't been here in probably one year i think a year ago is the last time i was here here's some fall items chestnuts and some roasted peanuts sweet potato fries [Music] and uh most supermarkets have this all year round some kind of a little sweet potato thing here these are baked sweet potatoes so am i getting anything today i'm not sure what am i gonna get um yeah i'm gonna do a light shop here and then i'll just go to my other supermarket that i usually go to for the rest of my stuff lots of different um sprouts some lettuce 138 yen for some lettuce uh what else we got here yeah this is just like normal veggies i think uh they do sell these um uh cabbage quarters yeah quarter cat quarter cut 128 yen that's about i think average for most supermarkets these are really good very handy just cut them up put them in some soup garlic this garlic's almost uh almost three dollars they do sell a pre-packaged like cut up green onions and spring onions and stuff like that these are about a dollar each i guess if you don't have a knife it's useful yeah he got a moyashi this is a green green green sprouts i can't speak english um i usually buy some of these yeah 28 yen really cheap it's about a quarter 25 cents or so very healthy there's some pickled stuff i'm going to show you more veggies here lots of different onions and bundles get these in bulks 3.98 get some potatoes bag 398. get a pretty decent amount [Music] ah so some of the supermarkets they cooperate with local farmers like in the area around this neighborhood so this is some of their produce and farm farmed goods sometimes the prices are good sometimes they're a little bit more expensive because they're like fully organic but i think that's a really neat thing and then they have their name uh and you know the farm that they work on so it's pretty cool that's leaks different types of mushrooms uh kabocha so squash pumpkin i'm just zigzagging right now so the one thing uh that bothers me about broccoli in in japan broccoli is so tiny and it's almost two dollars very very tiny and then uh same same with asparagus uh actually this is a decent amount um for 198 usually you only get like three three or four sticks oh sorry this is 198 per 100 grams okay so this one's listed at 582. so sometimes they sell them in bundles of just three and it's like this price 198. uh asparagus is very expensive here and avocados are 98 yen for one and they are tiny like super small some of them are really bad they're super mushy yeah like this is just not that it's so mushy but they're so small bananas um i think of anything interesting uh let's there's some more fruit over here uh they have dragon fruit pineapple sometimes pineapple is cheap sometimes not how much is this little container here 598 yen wow it's almost six dollars for that little amount of pineapple this is pricey there's a market near my house that sells like this much for like half that price so some supermarkets have the same things for the same price sometimes they're not the same price so just depends on where you go um i got some prunes i have not seen prunes all season 498 yen for some prunes that's good all right uh here we've got the tofu soy section there's like soy powder soy mash like all kinds of different stuff amazake what else we got here yeah different different firmnesses of tofu soft more firm and they also sell these kind of a sundubu pre-packaged like broth things you can get a like normal mild or very spicy i'd rather just make that stuff from scratch but it is available here this is interesting i've never seen this before oh it's for the little little tiny dishes and you can put different like sauces and toppings well that's cool i've never seen that before here's a more kind of like deep fried tofu pretty good for like oden oden style a bunch of different kimchi kimchi section um i'm trying to see if the kimchi i get is here i don't know they don't have the kimchi that i get i get a different brand it's from japan but it tastes decent of course nothing beats the real thing right from like a an actual korean like grandmother or mother more pickled stuff pickle pickled pickled pickled eggplants uh what is this this looks like pickled mustard greens i think yeah and here's some kind of more like banchan style stuff pickled eggplant and cucumber uh like here's like the taquan some radish so these are pretty good you know if you have a like a full meal just get one of these on the side it's always nice to have little pickled veggies with any meal i think is that an asian thing i mean i know in the states they use like dill pickles and like hamburgers and stuff but like i don't know if you guys are from a non-us country do you guys eat pickled things with your meals here's uh pickled plums different types of pickled plums there's all kinds all so many different types different salts some are very very soft some of these other ones are more crunchy pickled ginger garlic yeah so i'm not getting any of this stuff i'm just rambling as i see things um here udon noodles here's various different types of noodles i like getting these kinds of things here they're like you could see they still got the flour on them keep them separated got to keep them separated um so you just boil them up at home you can use them for all kinds of different things curry udon in noodles like just so so many different ways yeah these are all like kind of the more expensive like gourmet like ramen package stuff um zenya so yeah it's got everything you need inside of it and sometimes in this area they have like the toppings oh yeah here they are so if you want the eggs and the bamboo shoots and the meat the chashu meat they sell it individual package like that or you can get it individually and add that to your ramen yeah let's uh let's go check out this section this is the fish section smells good smells fresh there's a mashed tuna like leftover bits these are all the off cuts right here these are good for snacking and here's

belly thousand four hundred seventy yen for that uh how much is this platter here it looks like a nice thick platter fifteen eighty all right not bad not bad the prices are pretty good this looks looks really tasty oh yeah see the fattiness glistening wow so many slices i usually get like this i usually just get the filet of the salmon and i just cut it at home myself sometimes it's cheaper and you get you get more of the cut that you want like this this one's decent for 598 yen yeah that's um i think i might get that yeah actually i think i'm gonna get this i'm feeling like eating some

staff in here inside uh cleaning out some squid and stuff crab here we got some fish wow ooh some nice mackerel right here fresh mackerel [Music] on ice uh am i gonna go up and down every aisle probably let's see uh this salmon over uh here these salmon fillets these are more for like a baking grilling they still have the skin on them so they still have the skin and uh these are usually you bake them or grill them the japanese homes um their ovens usually have like a fish grill drawer thing it's kind of like a broiler and uh usually cook up fish that way um what else we got here yeah lots of different fish cuts these are more for like stews and for baking grilling here's just like a mixed variety cut of a booty uh i forget what that is in english chat jackfish jack i can't i'm not even gonna attempt to remember what it is yeah looking good looking good all right over in this section we've got a unagi this is a eel lots of eel and here's a marinated like fish that you can take home it's already pre-seasoned pre-marinated so this one's uh what is this uh basil oil basil olive oil here's some like breaded ones yeah with the cut up vegetables and stuff so they make stuff like really convenient um one thing you've probably noticed so far in this in the video is uh everything is wrapped in plastic um even the vegetables they were like vegetables individually wrapped in plastic and it is a shame japan definitely uses way too much plastic here's some nice frozen like tiger shrimp yeah so see what else can we look at here um we've got row different types of uh salted like pollock row mentaiko and stuff there's this advertisement singing about men taiko that's funny yeah these are cool they get the fish here you can grill these and they have them on like a little straw thing but you can replace that with a like a skewer metal skewer a wooden skewer really good oh here's a here's a good example of that so you can see a little toothpick sticking through the eyes and you just slap these bad boys on the grill oh yeah that's good eating right there [Music] what else we got here here's a more kind of a kind of a salad thing shrimp salad it's got mixed with eggs and stuff pickled things pickled and salty things it's more just like classic mix of uh different veggies and stuff here you can eat that with hot rice yeah so many different little options for veggies they're all marinated and pre-cooked uh here they've got these kind of a namul kits so it's got the namul stuff to make bibimbap korean bibimbap uh it even has the gochujang hot sauce packet

they've got uh some grilled chumai i don't know if you could see that these are good good like for quick lunches snacks and stuff they do have a tempura section here [Music] like fried veggies and they also have a koroke these are like potato potato patties with different fillings inside of them and then breaded and then fried yeah i came here at a kind of off time there's like really no customers i mean there's a few you can see them here but in general like it's pretty quiet right now um oh i wanted to show you over here here we've got uh different beans black beans and i don't know the names of these different beans um but you can do all kinds of things with these we've got sweet potatoes these are like pre-packaged stuff cooked and seasoned and same with here too we got uh some of these kind of like anchovies uh here is apparently the spice section their seasonings and herbs so they do sell these kinds of like pre-pre-assembled packages of herbs for different types of things so like for example if i wanted to um here like i have rosemary chicken it has everything i need for rosemary chicken inside of this pack yep so you just cook the chicken and then you add the seasoning and then you're good to go lemon lemon pepper chicken so they have it for everything soups roast beef like making kimchi pickling your own veggies like they have all of that stuff here and uh here's kind of more of like the western spices these are organic here's rosemary basil parsley oregano nutmeg vanilla bean saffron ooh saffron now let's continue into the bento section it smells really good all of this stuff i think was just cooked recently for the lunch lunch rush here a nice fat stack of yakitori and tare sauce 580 yen for how many sticks one two three four five six seven eight nine ten that's actually really cheap too bad they don't have the shio the salt ones i don't really like tare sauce it's too sweet for me here's some different sandwich fruit sandwiches this one

got gyoza over there this is overwhelming see ah here's more of like the like the bento plate lunch sets with the rice and like karage chicken we've got some like yakiniku or something so the varieties are just endless guys the varieties are just endless like look at this it's got like salmon and tempura inside and rice and gyoza there's a shumai thing in there got different onigiri yeah different kinds of stuff here tuna mayo stuffed with mentaiko inside uh you can just buy rice with some oats or grains inside of it if you wanted that if you're too lazy to cook rice you can just buy pre-cooked rice spaghetti spaghetti and hamburger mixed with a looks like a omelette rice here's uh yakisoba sandwich yakisoba hoagie i guess i don't know what's the right way to say it here's a spaghetti never seen that before but it doesn't surprise me um yeah yakisoba look this yakisoba looks really good but there's no meat on it sometimes they grill up beef on there and we do have some takoyaki takoyaki balls it's got the fish flakes and some ginger on top it's not hot though it's not fresh udon noodles okay i'm noticing uh they've got a pizzeria this is where they have different types of pizza now this pizza is going to be really strange i think for some people first of all what is this with a blueberry like compo on it and this says pizza it's a half pizza fruit pizza here's another fruit pizza with chocolate strawberries and uh it looks like marshmallows that is it says pizza [Music] ah here's more uh yakitori oh yeah here they got the shio set oh that looks good 680 yen for all that that's cheap that is cheap i might actually pick up one of these um i think i might i think i might get this one here it's got the mix of the chicken skin uh momo it's the chicken thigh and uh some some kind of pee i don't know what piece of chicken that is i might get this and heat this up at home yeah 398 that's not bad for that much two four six sticks for that price wow it's usually about a hundred yen per stick so we're getting it for half price okay so i got distracted um here's some more weird pizzas this one has corn and mushrooms but it's not like your traditional style here's one with wedges of potatoes on there and looks like mayonnaise and corn here's something i don't even know what this is is this pork oh this is chicken with mayonnaise and seaweed here's some with shrimp and little pieces of clams i can see the clams in there oh what else we got here this is more mushroom mushroom pizza yeah so we're entering into the meat section um there's beef beef is generally more expensive than anything else it depends also on the cuts this looks like some really nice i don't know what it is flank um but it's 11 uh yeah 1140 yen oh i have so many ideas for this you could wrap some veggies with that and fry it up just grill it oh yeah look at the marble the marbling on that really nice yeah so more of this stuff is for like shabu shabu or you know like yakiniku grilling it on a on a fire or on like a hot like pan or something hot plate these are really good um [Music] what else they got here uh here's more pork there's a nice thick cut of pork here i like to get these kinds of things chop them up like into quarters or even half and then freeze three pieces and then like use one piece to make a soup or something like that what else do they got here uh they give different like pork patties pork patio you have to do is just fry it up on a frying pan and you're good to go kind of a meatball uh some most of these supermarkets don't really sell like the off cuts the oval or anything like that um you know like for example this is uh some nice um uh which we call a liver and heart and uh yeah like sometimes you don't even see that in other supermarkets there's one supermarket that i usually go to and they have all kinds of weird cuts they have like pigs feet and the intestines and all that stuff i love it i love it i love it but usually in these bigger chain ones they don't have that kind of stuff ground beef here's a lot of different pre-made hamburger steaks in the sauce [Music] a lot of different breakfast sausages um ham

milliliter sorry two of these 500 milliliter cans at nine percent is equivalent to one bottle of wine so people get trashed off of this stuff and it's actually kind of becoming a concern for a japanese uh people they're just like oh there's all these old dudes just getting trashed off of this stuff and i've been trashed off of it myself it's it's bad sometimes they leave you with the worst hangovers um but it's cheap it's it's really really cheap like you know 148 yen for this that's like a dollar or something so you know you spend like less than three dollars and you're just drunk um
