Tried my first worldwide Costco in Japan!
As a Seattle native, this was my first time traversing to a worldwide food court, and it absolutely did not disappoint. Got to try most of the items, see my personal rankings below:
Pizza (Margherita) - Sleeper banger, reminded me of NYC pizza. I was actually shocked how good this pizza was.
Salmon Poke Roll - Sushi in Japan…need I say more? Great price for such a large HQ roll.
Hokkaido Soft Serve - With soft serve being a staple in Japan, I was not surprised this was gonna be amazing. Super creamy and thick, it definitely could compete against other soft serve places around Osaka I had.
Hot Dog - Another classic, hard to mess this one up. Some folks may not like the type of hot dog meat used but I found it fine.
Clam chowder - This was decent, it was a tad watery (I’m used to thick clam chowder from Seattle) but it really wasn’t bad.
Chicken Sticks - This was lowkey a mistake as it clearly was supposed to serve a family of 2-3 kids and not one guy lmao. Got like a 1 lb basket of tenders that tasted like Dino nuggets. Definitely a niche case to get this.
Melon smoothie - I was not a fan, felt like someone grabbed cantaloupe and squished it into a drink. Definitely another more unique item for someone that loves melons to get.
