When traveling in Japan, many people regard supermarkets as a must-visit attraction, because supermarkets can not only stand on the front line to get in touch with Japanese daily life, but also solve the problem of three-day snacks. It is a very convenient and good helper for travelers who can't find a restaurant to eat until they are too late. This time, we will introduce the types of Japanese supermarkets, common words, popular products in Chinese and Japanese, as well as practical product inquiry and checkout sessions. Next time we go to Japanese supermarkets, we can enjoy a lot of shopping even if we don’t know Japanese!

Japanese supermarkets simple classification

Anyone who has been to Japan will probably know that there are many supermarket companies in Japan, and the main supermarkets in each region are not very different, and the price range and target customer base of each supermarket are sometimes different. Here are a few common Japanese supermarkets: ●General supermarkets: Most supermarkets belong to this category. Larger stores usually have their own kitchens to make cooked food, bento, and even bread, pizza and other foods. In addition, in recent years, large supermarkets that open 24 hours a day and set up internal use areas have become more and more common. ＊For example: SEIYU, SUMMIT, LIFE, maruetsu, Ito Yokado, Tang Jikede, AEON, OK Store, etc. ●High-end supermarkets: Usually located in department stores and stations, the number of stores is much smaller than that of ordinary supermarkets and the price is relatively higher, but it is an indispensable helper for many people who are commuting and returning late. ＊For example: Seijo Ishii, KINOKUNIYA (Kinokuya), Precce (プレッセ), LINCOS (リンズ), etc. ●Business supermarkets: Because the customer base is locked as merchants who purchase large quantities of food, unlike ordinary supermarkets that have cooked food areas or many necessities for people's livelihood, they adopt large portion packaging based on quantity prices, and the price of the goods will be much cheaper. ＊The most common type of this type is "Business Supermarket (Business スーパー)" with its classification name.

Japanese supermarket popular products

What should I buy when I come to a supermarket in Japan? The following lists several food types and product names that many Chinese people must buy when they come to Japan.

●Potato chips: Many people like to buy potato chips back to China when they go to Japan. Calbee (カルビー), a well-known potato chip manufacturer, has launched several different potato chips, with very diverse flavors, such as French clear soup (コンヽメ), thin salt (うすしお), seaweed salt (のりしお), etc.

●Noodle instant noodles: Noodle instant noodles that can be eaten as long as there is hot water is a must-have product for many people to come to Japan. The basic flavors include pig bones (とんつ), soy sauce (しょう), seafood (シーフー�), salt flavor (しお), etc. Although there are many Japanese instant noodles manufacturers, almost every instant noodles are of good quality. For example, CUP NOODLE and どん时六文六文 are all very popular among Chinese people.There are also fried noodles that can be eaten dry, which are also very popular, including Nissin's Japanese fried noodles UFO (天そばUFO) and celebrity food Japanese fried noodles (天ちゃん nightclub's Japanese fried noodles).

●Food, seasoning: People who like to cook can find many useful and delicious helpers in Japanese supermarkets. For example, in recent years, many Chinese people will specially buy fried chicken powder (からyang powder), bibimbap pine (ふりかけ), shiba soup (だし), hot pot soup base (つう) and other foods. In addition, Japanese Western foods, such as jam, salad sauce, pasta sauce, etc., are also very popular. In short, the food and seasonings in the supermarket are very suitable for busy modern people. They can complete convenient and delicious dishes without spending too much time and effort. No wonder Chinese people have to carry back to Taiwan even if they come.

●Beverage: Japanese drinks also have many loyal fans in China, such as the famous afternoon black tea (afternoon black tea) in Japan, not only is it cheaper, but also has a limited flavor or packaging. Green tea is also popular with many people, and there are even health-preserving teas that have decaf and inhibit fat absorption. In addition, because Japanese people are quite a favorite people to drink, there is also a large area of alcohol to choose from in supermarkets. If you have beer, many people will buy well-known factories such as ASAHI, SUNTORY, KIRIN, YEBISU, etc. In recent years, the popular fruit wine has also been subdivided into many brands, such as KIRIN's Ice Crack, SUNTORY's こくしぼり and ほよい, etc.

●Cooked food: Many people buy rice balls from supermarkets (おにぎお) as main meals, with a variety of flavors. The more common ones include tuna meino (㄄おぞおお), bonito flakes (おかか), Ming Taizi (たら), plum (うあ), kombu (こぶ), mustard green (taka dish) and so on. The most common fry (阁文) are koji and tempura of various flavors. In addition to pure meat, there are also other flavors such as minced potato (阁じゃか), cream crab meat (カニクリーム). As for tempura, there are more flavors. shrimp (∈び), sweet potato (╤まいも), lotus root (⌂), eggplant (す), pumpkin (⋁ぼちゃ), etc. are often seen in supermarkets.

Food labeling terms for Japanese supermarkets

I believe everyone will definitely buy food in Japanese supermarkets, and packaged processed foods must also have food information. Let’s explain several key points of Japanese food packaging information. ●The difference between the period of taste appreciation and the period of consumption. Many people actually don’t understand the difference between the “perfection period” and the period of consumption. Simply put, the “perfection period” refers to the period when the product tastes more delicious. Even if the period of taste appreciation is past, it is not necessarily impossible to eat it, but it doesn’t taste so delicious. The "consumption period" will appear on food packaging that cannot be stored for a long time, indicating that the product is best not to eat after this period. ●Allergenic markings (denoted by アレルギー) The Japanese Agricultural Standards (Japanese Agricultural Standards) stipulates that there are 27 allergen marking objects for processed foods, 7 of which must be noted if the product contains this ingredient, including milk (milk), egg (egg), flour (wheat), buckwheat (そば), peanuts (peanuts), shrimp (えび) and crab (かに).The other 20 ingredients are specified within the recommended range, including abalone (あわび), flower branches (いか), salmon eggs (いくら), orange (オレンジ), kiwi (キウイフルーツ), beef, walnut (くるみ), wine (さけ), mackerel (さば), soybean, chicken (龙), pork (dolphin), and matsutake (またけ), peach (も�), yam (もも), apple (もも), gelatin (ゼラび), banana (んお), sturgeon (カシも), cashew (カシゼりも), it should be noted that the following 20 types are recommended and not mandatory, so the products may not be marked and contain this ingredient. If you are allergic to these ingredients, you should be careful. ●Save method related words
