A Weekend Vlog of a New Graduate in Japan🇯🇵 | Grocery Haul & Meal Prep for the Week

🏡 On Sunday afternoon, I went grocery shopping at *Gyomu Super* and spent the rest of the day preparing meals for the week ahead 🍳✨ Since starting my first full-time job, I've often come home feeling tired after work, so I decided to try making a week's worth of meal prep on the weekend 😊 This time, I made *7 different dishes* using chicken and pork, and I also cooked rice in a pot for next week 🍚 I hope my future self will appreciate the extra effort! 🛒 *Total Grocery Cost* ¥6,890 (about **USD $46**) This includes seasonings, food, storage bags, and other supplies. I think this should keep me going for quite a while 😂 🍱 *This Week's Meal Prep* • Ginger Soy Chicken • Miso Mayo Chicken • Teriyaki Chicken • Mushroom Chicken • Garlic Sauce Pork • Miso Sauce Pork • Butter Pork with Mushrooms • Ground Chicken Soboro (for bento) 🍚 Since I still haven't found the power cord for my rice cooker, I cooked rice in a pot instead. I also share a little about **Takuan**, a traditional Japanese pickle, and Japan's pickled vegetable culture 🇯🇵 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🕐 *Time Stamps* 1:18 Grocery haul from Gyomu Super 6:20 Meal prep – Chicken (4 recipes) 9:45 Meal prep – Pork (3 recipes) 12:42 Chicken soboro & cooking rice in a pot 13:40 Japanese pickles (Takuan) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Thank you so much for watching my videos 🌸 I'll continue sharing my everyday life as a new graduate living alone in Japan, one step at a time 😊 If you enjoyed this video, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
