Costco members know for a fact shopping in those giant warehouses is like a dream. From huge flat-screen televisions to gallon-size bottles of salon shampoo, Costco has it all. But while they may be headquartered in the U.S., there are international Costco warehouses that have even cooler stuff in large quantities.

Case in point, Japan. This is a country that knows about style, design and delicious food. And, they have big Costcos too!

Scroll through these 15 photos that will prove to you that Costco Japan is far better than we could ever imagine.

1. Dried gourmet mixed mushrooms

Here’s a big jar of umami for you.

2. These amazing looking sandwiches.

They look so fresh!

3. Sashimi salads

What…you can just buy these?

4. Uni and salmon roe.

Sprinkle on EVERYTHING.

5. Korean Jjigae

In a bag! Frozen! Yum!

6. Strawberry cheesecake

That doesn’t look large enough to me.

グジェール♡ お値段は¥1198でした♡ グジェール?なんだ?ソレ、、、♡ 新年早々私のお耳には全く馴染みのない単語が入ってきました♡ ワイン好きの方やおフランスが好きな方は知っているかもですが、フランスでは馴染み深いチーズが入った小さなシュー生地でおつまみやおやつとして食べられている物だそうで♡ オシャレ臭プンプンするやん♡ 今回購入したグジェールはフランス産12ヶ月熟成コンテチーズを使ったシュー生地♡ プチシュークリームの様なフォルムですが、中は空洞、味は真逆の塩味♡ 生地にチーズが入ってるからか普通のシュー生地よりもモチっとしています♡ 中にマッシュポテトの様なポテトクリーム等を入れても楽しめるそうですが、中に何か詰めるにはコレちょっと小さいかな♡ もっと大きいサイズのものもフランスでは食べられているみたいですが♡ 一口でパクッと食べれて止まらないスナック感覚のグジェール♡ シュー生地って慣れ親しんできたものは主に中にクリームやらアイスやらが詰まった物で、中に何も入っていないっていうのが個人的に少し物足りなさを感じました♡ すぐなくなっちゃうってトコロも割高感ありますねぇコレ、、、♡ 賞味期限は短いけどそんなに量が多く無いので冷凍するまでも無いかな♡ 美味しいんだけど、、、リピは、、、てな感じ♡ 気になる方は是非お試しくださーい♡ #costco#costcolove#costcojapan#costcofinds#コストコ#コストコ購入品#グジェール

14. Black Truffle Sauce

Yes, please.

15. Sushi platters

Nom nom nom.

Costco opened their first warehouse in Japan in 1999 and if you ask me, they are way ahead of us. Their stores are open every day of the year with the exception of January 1. Have you tried to go to Costco on a holiday here? Do they have to be closed on Thanksgiving? Really? It’s the biggest eating day of the year.

With miles of sushi and buckets of black truffle sauce, Costco Japan is swinging for the fences in their warehouse shopping game. America, you need to pay attention.
