GPGT. Japan! I’m here!

[buffybuffy]

5000 yen or 5000 SGD?

5000 yen is around $48... consider ripped off?

Yen. You are right, about there

 

[buffybuffy]

Anyone wants to guess what are these that I’ve brought from Japan?

They cost me S$100+.

Nobody managed to guess these?

I paid around SGD180 for very fresh sashimi for 4 pax that I probably could never get back in SG. The only regret I had was never eat more!

S$18 will also get you 4 sushi and sashimi platters at OK mart that beats 99% of Japanese places in SG

 

[begintoend]

Felt so ripped off when I paid $5000 yen….

While back in SG the whole crab only cost me S$328.

The last time b4 covid time I had a whole crab was about 180k yen. Wonder now is how much.

On average, most meals in JPN, even CBD area are around $10-$15 only. Full set with rice, miso soup and pickles. Pizzas are less than $20. In SG, will run you almost $30 after GST and service charge. I also eat one damn good grilled cod fish set, nicer than waygu, also less than $20. In SG, confirm more than $20++. One great thing about JPN, they always show the final price and pre-tax prices.

The quick meals in stations are around $5 only, also very nice. Full set with rice, miso soup and pickles, free water and towels.

The restaurant name is OK mart or it's a convi store like 7-11?

 

[buffybuffy]

That’s what I thought but IT IS A TIMER!!!! Not even a toy yet was placed right next to Nintendo switch 2 and other games section.

I didn’t bother to check as we king crab in SG. Wanted to try snow crab. Paid and sat down and 15-20mins later came back to refund me. Saying no stock. So the satisfy me craving for crab I took this king crab leg instead.

 

[kingmaker888]

but u can speak fluent Japanese or not lol u cant understand also....i go vietnam also dont understand their language

 

[buffybuffy]

Haha so 2 tamagotchi and 2 timers?

4 timers why would they hang these timers next to Nintendo switch 2? Timer aren’t games

 

[buffybuffy]

Haha!! Smart placement and selling by the store

You better give it away or sell to xdd/xmm who want to use these as kitchen timers stuck to refrigerator or for studying

Already given away one. Still cannot understand why Bandai would do a timer yet using the Tamagochi name. Can’t see the link.

TS, great sharing of your exploits in Osaka and Kyoto. Want to ask where did you stay in both locations? Will be heading there in few months time. Not so keen on shopping, nightlife, will be there mainly for food, sightseeing some of those areas you mentioned and world expo. Seems you not keen to visit world expo

 

[buffybuffy]

The same item but in different country has a price difference of S$50. Japan selling $7500yen. The Nintendo pop up store in Jewel os selling at S$120.

 

[buffybuffy]

Spent $30k just in Mario world. Wonder how much coins I must collect to recover this amount.

Compare the bowser sold in Mario world in USJ vs the one sold in jewel Nintendo pop up store
