My recommendation things that you should buy in Japan

Hey guys! Welcome to my channel. I’m Daisuke. Today I will tell you "My recommendation for things that you should buy in Japan" Let’s get started! What I will recommend this time is food and seasoning etc.. And all can be stored at room temperature. Therefore no problem when you bring them to your country. If you are interested in those things, I think you would like this video! The first one is.. curry sauce mix My favorite one is "House Kokumaro curry mild". It’s sweet and anyone can eat it. But if you like hot one, You can also buy "House Kokumaro curry hot" This is your personal preference and choose your favorite one. And when you have the curry sauce mix, you can make curry rice, dry curry or soup curry etc.. This is very useful and not only curry rice 🙂 This is pretty much my recommendation. Well I think it’s not difficult to buy curry sauce mix in your country. But when you buy them in Japan, it would be much cheaper! The price of this one is about 150 yen ($1.5). I guess that its price would be about 300,400,500 yen overseas. And next one is.. Hayashi sauce mix I often eat this over rice but it really goes well with omurice. I recommend this one to you as well. The price of Hayashi is about between 150 and 200 yen. Next.. Beef stew sauce mix This beef stew sauce is made by House. This is the beef stew sauce mix that I used before on my video. Not only rice and it also goes well with bread. This is also my favorite one 🙂 If you are lazy to cook curry rice or hayashi rice, you can also buy pre-packaged curry or hayashi sauce. The right one is Hayashi and the left one is curry. Both of them are very easy to cook and you can boil them or use microwave to cook them. When I want to eat omurice but I’m lazy to cook Hayashi the sauce mix, I often use this one too. Well it’s pretty good! Of course, the Hayashi sauce mix is better than this one though. I wonder what I should recommend next one.. Well it’s bored that I recommend the similar things right? 😀 dried udon noodles Udon is like pasta for Japanese. The dried noodles are cheap and easy to cook. I also recommend this one. Next one is… Dried soba noodles. You can make both warm or cold soba with this. Dried soba lasts just as long as dried udon noodles. You can keep it for at least six months to a year. When you rarely eat cold food in your country and you don’t know what to eat in the hot weather in the summer, I recommend that you can try cold soba 😀 This is yummy! Next.. Hiyamugi Hiyamugi is thinner than udon noodles. thicker : udon – Hiyamugi- Somen : thinner Hiyamugi are thin and doesn’t need much time like udon when boiling in hot summer. The texture when you eat Hiyamugi and udon noodles is completely different. I recommend to you this too. Probably you thought "But how can I eat Udon, Soba and Hiyamugi?" And what you need is.. Mentsuyu This is called Mentsyu – めんつゆ in Japan. I think almost every house has one and it’s really useful. When you have this one, you can eat cold, hot udon, Hiyamugi , cold and hot soba with this etc.. And this mentsuyu is a 3x concentrated, you can add 3 water to 1 of this one. ※ It depends on the Tsuyu That’s why you can use this many times and you can season the nikujaga, make tempura tsuyu or tendon tsuyu with this. The price of this mentsuyu is about 200 yen ($2) There is another tsuyu.. it’s Shirodashi tsuyu. This is used for udon tsuyu, chawanmushi, dashi maki tamagoyaki etc.. This is made from kelp, bonito, mackerel or niboshi. The price of this one is about 200 yen ($2). And what’s the difference between mentsyu and shirodashi? It’s up to you to decide which one you want to use. Shirodashi is often preferred in western Japan and Mentsuyu often preferred in eastern Japan. By the way, I prefer Shirodashi to Mentsuyu when it comes to eating udon noodles. But when I make soba, I always use Mentsuyu. And a good thing to have when eating udon, soba and hiyamugi is.. Tenkasu Tenkasu means deep fried flour from the leftovers of cooked tempura and this one has a little shrimp taste. Of course, there are Tenkasu that don’t contain the flavor of shrimp. This is also used for okonomiyaki or takoyaki etc.. Especially putting this for hot soba or udon make taste much better. The price of tenkasu is about 100 yen ($1) Fu To be honest, I think you don’t have to buy it haha But I personally like it and I put it in the miso soup, soba or udon etc.. This is also good for shoyu ramen. You can see that these are dry. When you put them in the soup, they will become softer and fluffy. This price is also about 100 yen ($1), so if you are interested in this, buy it 😀 Next.. cooking sake Cooking sake contains a little salt but when I use either of sake or cooking sake, I use it as same. When I have sake, I use it but if I have only cooking sake, I use it. This contains alcohol. I’m sure many countries have restrictions on bringing alcohol through customs at airport, so it would be better to check your country’s rules beforehand. This is 1 litter. Next.. Mirin Mirin is often sold at Asian stores, so it’s easy to get it. But it would be more expensive than buying in Japan. This mirin price is about 180 yen ($1.8) in Japan. If you buy this at an Asian store overseas, it would cost about three or four times as much. That’s why if it’s possible to bring it with you, you should buy it 🙂 But mirin also contains alcohol xD Therefore, as I said, it would be better to check the customs rules in your country. Next.. Ramen noodles (fresh noodles) You would think that raw noodles need to be kept in the fridge at all times, right? It’s true that there are many fresh noodles that need to be refrigerated, but these are fresh noodles that don’t need to be refrigerated. It has a shelf life of roughly two to three weeks, and if you can’t eat it all, you can freeze it for a longer period of time. The amount of this noodles are 220g for 2 person. You can cook the frozen noodles in hot water and eat them right away. It’s taste good! If you can’t find it at supermarket, you can ask the store clerk like "常温で保存出来る生ラーメンの麺は売っていますか？" "じょうおんでほぞんできるなまらーめんのめんはうっていますか？" "Do you sell fresh ramen noodles that can be stored at room temperature?" Be careful not to buy the ramen noodles that are refrigerated only. Now you have fresh ramen noodles, but maybe you would think "But how should I make the soup?" Packaged ramen soup The left one is for miso ramen and the right is for tonkotsu ramen. When you have them, you can make the ramen soup easily. They are quite good. If the restaurant’s ramen score is a 10, I personally think this miso would be a 7 and tokontsu would be a 6. They are good and these are about 50 yen (50 cent) per piece. And also the expiration date of them are more than half a year. Even though you buy a lot, you can preserve them easily in the room temperature. ※ Well I usually put them in the fridge though. About the flavor, there are also shoyu or shio etc.. You can find them in almost every supermarket in Japan. But about Miso, it might be sometimes difficult to find it except Hokkaido. MaboTofu Sauce This is only assuming that you can buy tofu in your country. It’s pretty good and I often use it. I often put MaboTofu over the rice and it’s called Mabo-don in Japan. Next… Kewpie deep roasted sesame dressing I used this when I made Ramen salad on my youtube channel and it’s very good! The price is about 180 yen ($1.8) I use it often in salads and it’s good! The only problem is that the calories are a little high, so it may not be suitable for people on a diet xD Next.. Yakitori sauce This looks yummy right? This is for yakitori but it goes well both chicken and pork. To use this, add meat, onions, green onions, green peppers and other vegetables to the pan and stir fry them. It tastes like a teriyaki. Pork bowl sauce This is the also similar to the yakitori sauce. Both of them are the sauce from company Ebara -エバラ. Next.. Ginger pork sauce You can make ginger pork with this easily. Next.. Bonito dashi stock I often use this when I cook something. You can use it for the a lot of Japanese dishes. That’s why if you are interested in Japanese food, you should definitely buy it. When you add water, mirin or soy sauce to the dashi, you can make udon or soba soup. Even if you don’t have mentsuyu, you can make udon or soba soup with this. Next.. Okonomiyaki sauce I’m sure that you can find it at Asia store easily in many countries. It would be definitely much cheaper when you buy it in Japan! Maybe the price of this sauce would be around 600 to 700 yen ($6 to $7) in your country, right? Kewpie mayonnaise I like the kewpie mayonnaise the best! It’s the most popular mayonnaise in Japan too. These okonomiyaki and mayonnaise sauce really go well with okonomiyaki! Okonomiyaki flour This doesn’t just include flour, but also bonito and mackerel powder and baking powder etc… Well you can also make okonomiyaki flour when adding bonito dashi stock or baking powder in the normal flour. Honestly you can buy it but you don’t have to buy it. haha But if you buy it once and compare between normal and okonomiyaki flour,it might be also fun. This is 200g and you can make 2 okonomiyaki with this. Nabe soup stock So what is this? The bag contains six small containers of concentrated liquid, which make a pot for one person. For example, With this one, you can add water, chicken thighs, Chinese cabbage, green onions, and tofu to this one, and the pot is ready to eat. The first one is shio chanko flavor and the second one is miso flavor. There are plenty of other flavors in this one, so if you’re interested, check out the supermarket! chicken stock powder This is used for chicken soup or the flavor of fried rice. Well, I’m sure you can get it anywhere in the world, but if you find it in Japan, buy it 😀 Next.. Toasted Sesame Oil It’s easy to find the common sesame oil but the toasted sesame oil would be sometimes difficult to find, right? The price of this sesame oil is around 200 yen to 300 yen ($2 to $3). Therefore when you buy the one bottle, tt can be used for a long time. By the way this is used for fried rice, gyoza, soup etc.. I recommend it to you! Hiyashichuuka sauce Hiyashichuuka is a cold dish and made with ramen noodles, eggs, ham and some vegetables etc.. The dish is like this and pour the sauce over it. Well about this sauce, you can use only for this. That’s why if you want to try it, you should buy it haha Rice flavoring – Furikake This is a mixed type of Furikake This is also yummy. But the problem is that the amount is a lot, so you’d have to be a frequent eater to use it up. Well the price of this is about 100 yen ($1). This flavor is dried salmon and seaweed and it’s also my recommendation. And also there are also other flavors. The last is.. Kikkoman dashi soy sauce If you are watching watch my cooking video, you know that I often use this one. This is really good! It has a double-layered interior to keep the air out, and the flavors last longer. It’s written here but keeps fresh for 120 days after opening. That’s why the taste of soy sauce doesn’t worse soon. And also this is dashi soy sauce with kelp and it’s more tasty than normal soy sauce. I still have what I can recommend to you but that’s it for you this time. If you like this video, I will make more video like this thing again. See you! Matane 😀
