   I do not care if a strawberry was medicinal. I'm NOT paying 20 Bucks (USA) for a single strawberry.

   Nutella also has a different recipe depending on what part of the world you are in. It's a LOT more oil in the US than Europe… which sucks.

   Ladies and gentlemen the Australian palate. Decades of vegemite has plugged their salt receptors.

   So, funny observation about those strawberries you showed noting they were even more expensive – true, but they are WAY cheaper per strawberry! Even the 15-pack for 8650 yen comes out to like $116.87 USD currently – just $7.79 in comparison. Absolute bargain if you want fancy strawberries!

   $20 for a single strawberry? As someone currently stuck in the insane asylum still currently know as the US: WTF? I haven't heard of this, and if I saw a friend reaching for one of those I'd slap their hand. That's ridiculous. Peak BS consumerism; kind of like that Dubai chocolate nonsense.

    The first two foods that were a little more difficult to identify and had more prefer the non-msg samples, those were had tomatoes and cheese. Both foods are actually high in natural msg, especially Parmesan, so the “salty” flavor might have been stronger, leaning toward the slightly different flavor msg has compared to salt.

    I would go buy my husband and I a steak dinner at a steak house rather than buy 4 of those strawberries.

    However, with the ingredients list, there are some changes, usually for cheaper ingredients, like corn syrup, and from all the type of sugars there are, corn syrup tastes really good, but holy cow that spikes your glucose so high and the problem is how USA corps abuse it

    Weird how people great MSG as some kind of exotic magic ingredient. We had bottles of Maggi at meals at home in the Netherlands forty years ago. The entire Asian cuisine runs on soy sauce. The UK loves its Marmite, and Oz its Vegemite.

    They've definitely changed recipes.

    Glucose-fructose syrup is a whole other ingredient. And I see it everywhere

    Almost any strawberries in the wild or organic has beautiful smell to it and tasty, sweet. The mass produced ones are full of all sort of lab chemical from pesticides, herbicides to fast growth. The result is something looks like strawberry and taste similar to strawberry and lemon, no strawberry smell.

    12:18 the original Coke contained cocaine, according to the internet it was eliminated by1929, so some people might still remember it from their youth, doesn't mean it's good for anyone's health 😏

    The fruit in Japan is PHENOMINAL. Even the ones they consider lower rated. Japan is just a phenomenal place to visit, but word of warning, you may not want to go home. I'm still wanting/trying to bring a lot of the things only there back home. And I use our VPN to watch footie here in North America.

    I've tried to explain the MSG Myth to my parents, but they still claim to get headaches, bloating, & inflammation any time they have anything from the grocery store,with MSG in it. Personally, I think they are just prone to chronic headaches & bloating & want to blame it on food to avoid having to visit the hospital to find the real cause.

    MSG certainly only help savoury dishes, especially something with oil and proteins. It binds to specific molecules to do its magic. On its own, it just tastes weird, just like how mushrooms taste weird without any seasoning or cooking.

    Japanese fruits are next level, so much so that I'm not interested in store-bought strawberries from ANY countries anymore. I only want air-flown Japanese strawberry at my local Donki store, or I drive 7 hours to a strawberry farm in the Malaysian highlands. The taste and texture is consistent whether I bought it in Singapore or Tokyo or Kyoto.

    The grapes are the other must-try. Like you said, in Japan, the prices are determined by grades, so for the same grade, the supermarkets or the local store sells them equally expensive. Don't expect farmer's markets to be any cheaper because the farmers probably have their own cultivar and it'll be priced accordingly!

    If you go to Otaru in Hokkaido, you MUST try the melon with ice-cream (Popura Farm Otaru). It's crazy expensive for half a melon, about 6-8 spoon-full of flesh but you'd probably remember it for the rest of your life. And the whole melons themselves are sold at even higher prices!

    Of course, boutique stores and restaurants are going to charge extra so a good way to get slightly cheaper grapes and strawberry is to buy a dessert at a dotonbori (shopping street), these usually use lower grade fruits but there are still great! Very sweet, just smaller and misshapen.

    The lower grades are also made into jelly cups but those are sweetened.

    Ah! The battle on whether Nutella or Gianduja is better rages on. For me, I prefer Nutella due to the texture. Gianduja tasted nice but the texture is meh for me.
