One thing I really enjoy is finding US brands being sold and checking out how they change the name and labels. Dannon's Bio yogurt is called Activa in the USA as an example.

Hi Norm! I love your guest every time I see her ^^ Oh man, there's still so much Japanese food I don't know of, that I want a video on more of it. Seiya reminds me of Uwajimaya in Seattle! Uwajimaya is full of other items like gifts, kitchenware, and it also has it's own cafeteria for shoppers! Theres also a cute little book store/gift store within its walls. (I wanted to buy everything). On the same happy note, there's a Daiso right across the parking lot. Daiso has everything! Please post more food videos! Thank you so much ♡

Hiya I enjoy longer videos as I tend to watch KZfaq while I'm doing other things, like cooking or the dishes. And I just love Sherry's energy so definitely look forward to more collabs. Ooh also the discounted bentos in the evening was such a good tip for people travelling on a budget or students on an exchange. They're such a good price anyway though, the bentos in my local supermarket are £10+ (though to be fair they are made fresh in a kitchen you can peep into). X

we have umeboshi in the States at certain markets :) When I was in Japan, I fell in love with those pour coffees since they had it at the places I stayed! I got them at the local Japanese markets back here in the States but they are more expensive of course! However some American brands make them and they are like $5-6 FOR ONE SERVING! It's insane. I just get the Japanese ones and have them at work or camping! Lovely video, I really can't wait to come back!
