RE: Russian Store Finds & Scores

in #food7 years ago

I know how you feel. When I first moved to Japan, I would go crazy when I visited an American import shop, buying so much food, most of it complete crap that I never would have bought or eaten in the States. I guess it was just a comfort thing.

Those snacks look good. And I agree, the fish looks great! I grew up in Indiana; being far from water we rarely had any fish. Now in Japan I have fresh fish at least once or twice a week. When I visit home I always miss having my fresh fish.

Exactly! I tend to buy things I wouldn't normally buy being in Russia, other than fish of course haha. There's something comforting in just having those things around even if they are not the healthiest ones haha. It is cool that they have American stores there, honestly I would never think haha.
Do you think there are many American living in Japan?

Not a huge number, and Europeans are equally common, so if you see a white face then you really have no idea what nationality they are. As for Western peoples, there are far more Brazilians here than anyone else. So, Brazilian stores are fairly common.

Interesting, I watch videos on YouTube sometimes where mostly American people share their experience in Japan, so I thought there might be a decent amount living there.
Speaking of Brazilians, I don't think I've ever met one haha
