Costco sells a standard line, but they also have items specific to the local area. Go to the Hawaii Costco, very unique items. I wish they would bring more Japanese items to the US, but I think that there may be a language/packaging problem.

Our ‘international family circle’ here in (rural) Mie Prefecture regularly make a kind of pilgrimage to our nearest Costco. It takes a couple of hours but we carpool and make a day-adventure of it. Costco here is the perfect combination of Japan quality and American goodies that we usually kind find here. (Still have a couple of slices of pepperoni pizza in the freezer right now!) Never tried the poke though. Looks good!

I worked in an American Costco for 10 years and had always wanted to transfer to a Japanese Costco. For a retail/grocery store, Costco pays their employees well and give awesome benefits. They use to be one of the highest ranking, for their category, for taking care of their employees. That is why now I still like Costco, not only for quality of products, but for how they take care of their employees.

I freaking LOVE your Japan videos, Paolo. Thank you! My wife and I visited Japan (Tokyo/Kyoto/Fuji-San) on our 10th wedding anniversary, and.... seriously, I did NOT want to leave. It felt like it was my personal Disneyland. My wife could not get me out of Akihabara for 2 days straight! I even went back by myself for a third time! And the Ramen..... oh man.... and Tsukiji market's sashimi and sushi.... aaaaah, melts like butter in the mouth. I miss it so much!

The costco here in Honolulu, Hawaii is actually the busiest Costco in the world. It sometimes is in second place to one in South Korea, but most of the time it is in the #1 spot. And yes, they have poke there. But not always. Depends on the season and availability.

The reason you see the HI Costco on the top 10 list is due to time differences in reporting. If they delayed that report by 24 hours and just showed what each Costco made in the last 24 hours you would only see SEA stores on the list. In a 24 hour period they make quite a bit more.

Just came from my local costco on Maui. We have poke but very limited. Thanks for sharing what you have at your costco. Next time we’re in Japan we plan on visiting the cisco there.

James (Jim) Sinegal, one of the original owners of Costco, was the one who instituted the hotdog and pop deal in the foodcourts at all Costco stores in the world, as he said that the low-priced food acts as a hook to get customers to come into the store in the first place. Once the customer was safely inside, they would be more inclined to buy other deals as well at that point. At one point around 1984/85-ish, one of the then, head bean-counters of Costco approached Jim Sinegal and noted to him that Costco was operating at a loss over the price of the Hotdog and Pop deal of $1.50, and that they should raise the price a few dollars to return them to profitability. Jim turned to the bean-counter and is quoted as having said to him, in a not so subtle, angry and threatening voice (for real; this is not a joke), "Touch my Dogs, and I will End You!!" The dogs and pop have remained at their current price selling point ever since. 😂😂

I know!! He is just too cute!

I love that they have longganisa and tocino now. I usually boil them until the water evaporates. Then just let the oil from the longganisa finish the cooking for me. That way it's not too oily and you can get a good caramelization coating the sausage.

We buy those sweet longanisa every time we go to the nearest Costco Japan from where we live. They're surprisingly good! Have to check that sweet tocino as well next time.

Hi Paulo. I can tell you pour your heart and soul into your productions! Love the "day in the life of" series. Some suggestions for future shows: conbini employee, rickshaw driver, nurse, golf course caddie, and maybe a special behind-the-scenes. Keep up the grade work and thanks for sharing your life in Japan with us. My wife and I love Japan and try to visit when we can. Can't wait until it (for "reals") opens back up!

I know this video was posted a year ago, but an update: we have Black Thunder at Costco in California now!!! 😍😍 Also, this video is absolutely precious with Wolfy walking around with such pep and joy 🥺💗

I love your videos, especially seeing other Costco's. Longanisa as well as Chorizo is a Hispanic condiment mainly used for breakfast but is used in other occasions too. Glad to see your happy and blessed.

Paolo, I am so happy to have found your unique and fun channel! Thank you sincerely!

Hey Paolo, nice to see this video showcasing stuff that can be bought at Costco. I've always been curious about what things they have since I've never been to one. My suggestion with the longganisa or tocino is to cook it in plain water, but make sure to use nonstick pan, until much of the water evaporates. That way, the meat gets cooked in its own oil (like literal: igisa sa sariling mantika). Also, the oil from the longganisa or tocino gets extracted out of their meat so it gets less fatty. That's the way I cook both dishes here in Japan. Before, I used to let both swim in so much cooking oil, because I did't know how to cook it any other way.

3:49 bro hit the griddy

You're little guy is so cute to watch running around enjoying the store. Fun video and thanks for posting another one.

Wolfie dancing is such a mood! He's so cute!! The "cooking" section you were talking about with the sauces, we call it the Condiment section. We get like Ketchup, Salad dressing etc there.

It's the sushi that's a deal at Costco Japan. In the US we don't have that, but we usually have maybe two Japanese scotch's and no beer. The instant noodle options for Japanese brands is also much better there, but we do have a few good Korean noodles in the US. Strawberry shortcake has been around forever in the US too. It's usually individual sponge cakes sold separately during strawberry season and you make it fresh with whipped cream as a single serving. At least that's how we used to make it.

You seemed so relaxed, like you were having fun with the family!!! Nice vibe! Keep up the great content!

I just had Costco pizza not that long ago over here in California with the family. What I love with the membership is not only getting buck items and the food court but also the gasoline price discount, especially with California higher fuel cost per gallon. I only go to their gas stations early in the morning or 30 minutes before they close since most of the day the lines here are very long.

I think the word you were searching for to describe sauces and such is condiments. Strawberry shortcake is made differently in the US depending on the region. In the Northeast, biscuits are made, then strawberries in juice is poured over an opened biscuit with a plop of whipped cream on top. In the Southern part, it’s common to have spongecake and strawberries on top, and then a spoonful of whipped cream. Wolfy is adorable. 🚂

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all.

Omg I have a son your age, and he just loves going to our local bjs (like another costco). He really has fun getting down to run and dance around the store. Too cute 😍

Thanks for this video. I was back home in Hawaii last month and visited the Costco. Yes, they sell poke and some sushi-grade fish there. I love how every Costco sells local products. We live too far away from the nearest Costco here in Japan, so we are not currently members.

Poke in the Hawaii Costco is pretty awesome. I’d be interested in trying the Japanese strawberry shortcake as I find the variety we have in North America a bit too sweet for my taste.

In the states they don't have you buy the pharmacy stuff separately, however, in some parts of the country you will get your ID checked depending on the pharmacy item you buy (cough medicine usually triggers this in the checkout system). For alcohol, in some states you can only purchase it in the alcohol section, they have a separate cashier there for this purpose (and they will check ID, of course).

It's always awesome seeing just how different Japanese Costcos are! It's almost like an entirely different establishment 🤩

I was just reading through the comments and realized that Cosco is in many places. I'm from Germany and the first time I ever heard of Cosco was in Paolo's Videos.
