Fun story time. Once in university I had one of those mini shoe horns that I used and accidentally placed on the counter. I came back to my poor roommate using it as a spoon to eat his chocolate cake. I freaked out and slapped it out of his hands and told him what was up. Needless to say he freaked out and ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth. The end.

I'm a heavy user of Daiso! Anytime I go there I buy extra items that I wasn't supposed to buy😂So I like your idea of not buying too much. Btw, I like the way you speak English! You are like an English teacher😊

More options than here in the states in one store how interesting! Many things will be out of stock here or there usually only a masculine, cutesy, or regular/neutral version of common items. For instance there are lunch boxes here but you will only find kids, floral print and a black one with no accessories. The rice paddle you will not find here unless in Asian mart like HMart. Our Daiso is the size of a Conbini store. The aisles remind me of Hobby Lobby and IKEA, the only places I’ve seen that have endless options for just one category 😸

Great video! Thanks for showing the yarn section. It is good to see people have options when they want to knit or crochet. The few videos I found regarding yarn in Japan, gave me the impression that yarn was very expensive there. Have a wonderful day 😊

It's amazing he can control himself on buying....if I were there my basket would already be full with a bunch of stuff even though I don't need them 😭😭...

I genuinely chuckled when you were talking about makeup and nail art (aka beauty stuff) with apparent bewilderment in your voice. As an adult female, those things still confuse me. Apart from some powder to cover up a perpetually shiny face (usually from sweat), I rarely go out in public wearing makeup. I've managed well enough into adulthood without wearing them. Why bother now! Thanks for the Daiso tour, Cory! A+ for the effort!😉

Dude I would go so broke in this place. Just buying little odds and ends and stuff I find interesting and useful! Especially all of the baking and cooking stuff. And any Pokemon stuff I see, too 😂. And the Sanrio stuff omg!! Thanks for taking us around, as always, Cory! These videos are so fun.

I love Daiso, even visit the locations in the US. In Hong Kong I belonged to their shoppers' club at the HKIA as they had foods not available elsewhere. Many products are not available elsewhere and it was such a lovely memory of my living in Japan. The face stick is the same a those made of jade, rock as they help with circulation, tissue. The one with the knobby bits are good for circulation or breaking up cellulite. Common there and big bucks elsewhere. I still have the soap pumps from that store, also the toe socks. People use that eye tape in the US to deal with drooping eyes. The auto accessories are also nice. I have a hook that goes in my car to hold grocery bags, even bought them for friends. In the pet section the reflective cat collars last years. The dish clothes last 10 years and the only other place I've seen them in Taiwan. So many unique organizing items. Masks were available even pre C-19.

Cory, thank you so much for making and sharing this with us!! This was the best tour yet and has made me that much more jealous!!! 😊 please put in a good word for Tampa or Sarasota Florida as a new location. I would really LOVE to get lost in their housewares, kitchen, home decor and personal items departments. Ohhhh..., if only!! ❤😂😊😂❤

I love Daiso. Daiso is a store you go to and let it tells you what you need :-) There is a store in IL called "Hello Tokyo". They have quite a lot of Daiso products there. Great tour. Thank you!!

I love the "emergency underpants" section, in case of accidents! Your right about the scented stuff. Its pretty grim and often smells like toilet cleaner after a couple of days. We have Poundland, Poundbuster etc here in the UK. I've bought numerous quirky stuff from these stores over the years and useful kitchen items and gift wrap. Enjoyed your visit. Thanks.

Thank you so much for these kind of videos! I enjoy watching them, and I like that way you do it, because I can really see what is inside, unlike some vloggers that is just passing through, you can't even see the items. The shopaholic in me gets the quick-fix just by watching your vides :D And most importantly, it helps me which shops are worth going on my next trip to Japan :) Can you do japanese drugstore skin care next time please?

Hi Cory! My wife always enjoys seeing the beauty products :) We never came across Daiso in central Tokyo but enjoyed other 100 yen shops. Lawson's 100 was pretty good. Thanks for all the store (and stroll!) videos. PS Love how conscious you are about filming inside, I wish other youtubers were as considerate.

interesting video,keep up the good work sir.

I can’t thank you enough for this video! Can you believe that when I went to Japan I couldn’t find a Daiso until the last day when I found one near Ueno?, I was so sad because it was very small Daiso and I wanted to buy 100 things and couldn’t find a lot of stuff I wanted :(

This must be a Big Daiso. 1 hour. Love Daiso. Sound is good if you talked live with the phone camera. I heard the biggest Daiso is at Kinshicho station. I also like the Daiso at Toyosu station at the mall there, it's 2 floors.

I love Daiso. I collect cat stuff. I have three Daiso stores nearby where I live in California. I haven't been to the third one yet because I just found out about it. The two that I've been to are tiny compared to even the smallest store there in Japan. When I get to a Daiso in Japan, I'm gonna need to set a limit on what I buy, or else I'll need to ship the stuff home or get extra luggage. I love your long videos. This is a great one.

Oh really? In northern Cali? I didn't know that. I'd recommend visiting some of the Daiso shops in Tokyo because they have a wider variety of cuter stuff. The one in my area doesn't have so many things like that, it's more practical stuff since it's just residential areas all around Matsudo. Thanks for the recommendation, the Tokyu Hands in Ikebukuro is really famous and it's closing soon! I actually walk by it in my latest video, before this store tour one. I dunno the closing date, though. Loft is cool too.

Cory, don’t worry too much with the single use plastic ware. I personally use, and reuse them until they’re in absolute tatters. I then recycle them. I also encourage my loved ones to do the same. We can’t fully eliminate single use plastics. In practical terms, I use these to send food with my loved ones who never return my containers. They’re greedy and steal. They usually lie, “Oh I’ll return it, don’t worry.” Four years later… it’s still in their cupboard. So, stuff like that… that’s when single use is smart and I encourage reusing. One day, we’ll all have a great recycle system like Japan has. 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I buy a lot of things at Daiso here in Texas. The stores are not as big as in Japan, so don't have the same kind of variety, and the starting price for merchandise is $1.50 for things without tags. Thanks for reminding me I need some small screwdrivers, I think I'll stop by Daiso today.

You're welcome! Thank you for watching! I've seen the tamagoyaki pans in America before. My parents have one from Walmart, I believe. You can get some good, durable bento boxes in many places here, including the supermarket. Daiso is really good because they have a lot of variety to pick from. But you can also find them in many other places, like LOFT, Muji, other ¥100 stores like Flets and whatnot. Many varieties and qualities exist because many people use bento boxes for their lunches.

This is going to be a long reply, so please bear with me for a few minutes! First another fantastic video! Let's go bit by bit. The undies in case you shart yourself, I busted out laughing at that🤣. loved the savageness with the phone decorations. The "oh shit" bag also 🤣. The baggies- good to know you are knowledgeable about the terms and quantities for weed (that's awesome because I do too🤫). I'm all for the poo panda, everyone should have one on their toilet! How did you know I like wiping my dirty floors with Mickey Mouses face? Are you spying on me?🤔 You had me from the start of the video just by making it, but that stationary section got me like🤯 (I have a obsession with writing utensils and notebooks). I also might need all those children's learning books, I've been learning Japanese for over a year and kanji has me😭. #moistfam I also feel you on the disposable plastics, I try not to use them as much as possible, I even carry a reuseable straw in my bag just in case. I noticed the background music here is a lot better than the grocery store and Donki combined. First question: can you get specially made hanko being a foreigner living in Japan or do they not cater to the western world's odd/different names? A tip: receipt organization, use a coupon organizer! It's small and sectioned so you can label each tab with a store you shop at a lot. The Sanrio characters are the little twin stars (much more of a hello kitty/badtz maru fan myself). Second question: why is corn so popular in Japan? I noticed a lot of food has corn in it some way some how. Is it just a filler or do they really have a corn obsession? I disagree with you on one thing, peanut m&m's are not the best, the peanut butter ones are!!🤣 Those compressed towels are great for camping and i usually have them in our first aid kit as well. I absolutely love Japanglish it is one of the best and hilarious things to see/read. I actually have those hello kitty under eye pads, they work great (my cousin was stationed over there and brought me back a few random things when he came back to the states). Lastly, yes to the cassette tapes and vinyl records! Having to sit there and wait for a radio station to play your favorite songs so you could sit there like a hawk waiting to hit record as soon as you heard it was life back then. My father also owned a record store years ago so vinyl has always been a part of my life and always will be in some way, so I appreciate you mentioning it. Ok, that was so freaking long but you asked for feedback and comments so I hope it's not too much. Thank you for making this video, can't wait to see what you show us next! 😊

It's so cheap that I alway wonder how much profit goes to the store per a single item they sell.

I would like to go to a Daiso someday. I don’t know if it’s common to have the grocery store on the lst floor but that just adds to the coolness of the store. As someone who is addicted to shopping I would wander around both levels like an excited child. I noticed that there were no shopping carts available. That in itself would force me to limit my purchases. The Daiso is so different from the dollar stores at least in my area of Michigan. Here they are small, cluttered sometimes dirty & will often have items strewn on the floor left by lazy customers. And inventory that needs to be stocked & often blocks aisles. And oh yes clerks that are busy talking to each other rather than offering help. We do have many grocery items and frozen food items. But then you had a full grocery store there…. Lol. There are many nice items that I would buy at the Daiso. Anything with Hello Kitty & Pokémon, anything in the candy section that we don’t have here & different novelty items.. Thank you for the lengthy tour of a clean well organized store. Nice video thanks!

you know what they have in Japan that I haven't seen anywhere else? Really wide variety of shoe inserts/insoles at very affordable prices... I saw a stall in the subway that just sold them in various prints and patterns, at Muji, at Daiso, at Tokyu Hands...the options are endless...I'm super jealous...kekekeke

Thanks! I’m poor so DAISO is my place! ☺️👍 To me I like box for organizer Thinks useful to clean Notes Steackers Chocolate

Incredible to see that a rich and developed country like Japan allows shops that sell so much plastic...
