| Costco Japan Haul |
As I mentioned in my previous entry, my husband and I have visited Japan this winter. This time, we finally went to Costco there!
If you are a Costco member, you'll have access to any Costco location in the world. Just keep in mind that Costco Japan only accepts MasterCard credit cards
and cash while Costco in the U.S. accepts Visa credit cards and cash. This time, I used my Capital One Quick Silver credit card (MasterCard), which is a 0% foreign transaction fee credit card, and I can earn 1.5% cashback rewards on any purchase. You can check out my previous entry, What You Should Take to Japan - Japan Travel Tips.
Costco Japan sell many Japanese products which you have never seen at Costco branches in the U.S. Anyway, I'm going to share what I purchased at Costco in Japan with you.
1. Sushi
40 Pieces of Nigirizushi, 4 Pieces of Makizushi and 4 Pieces of Tamagoyaki for 2,678 yen
(Tuna, Squid, Yellowtail, Shrimp, Salmon, Octopus, Scallop, Negitoro Maki)

One of the reasons why I wanted to go to Costco Japan was that I really missed authentic Japanese sushi I purchased at Costco in Japan last time! Costco Japan sells very fresh high quality sushi at reasonable prices. The price is as cheap as ones at Japanese conveyor belt sushi restaurant, which is called kaitenzushi (回転寿司) in Japanese, but the quality is as high as ones authentic Japanese sushi restaurants serve. I purchased this set of sushi and had it with my family. My brother, who I think is a foodie, was impressed at the quality and price. He is not a Costco member, so he asked me about Costco membership. By the way, Costco Japan membership fee is 4,400 yen a year. Anyway, all pieces of sushi were very fresh and sashimi was so big. Tamagoyaki also tasted great! I also loved the negitoro maki which is a roll containing tuna and green onions (negi). The Costco negitoro maki contained tuna, green onions, cucumbers and very fresh shiso leaves. I really enjoyed and loved all of them. :) If you are a sushi lover and a Costco member, you really should try Costco sushi in Japan.
