Some clever packaging, I'll agree, but soooooo much single-use plastic... ☹️
On the cup noodles they announced earlier this year that they were getting rid of the sticker to save plastic waste...
You are right. It was Cup O' Noodles before...
www.thrillist.com/news/nation/cup-noodles-changing-name-back-to-cup-o-noodles
Paolo please create a vlog about cheap and abandoned houses in Japan open for foreigners to buy?
Paolo! congrats on 2.3M subs! when I followed you back early to mid 2019 you were at around 400k subs. keep up the good work!
Paolo!! I’d suggest doing a video on Japan’s recycling system, since there’s a lot of people who are concerned about Japan’s packaging using too much plastic. They have a really thorough system!
yes 👍👍👍👍
Awesome idea!!
This one is tricky because how and what you separate can be different, even within Tokyo.
Reduce
Reuse
⬇️

Recycle
Yeah except I'm sure they're having similar problems to the US and UK and struggling to actually recycle what's recycled.
Also those ziplock style pacakges (soup pouches, the quail eggs, candy etc) won't be recyclable anywhere.
Been living in Japan for almost 20 years. The refills are definitely my favorite. Because of them I’m still using the same soap, shampoo and conditioner bottles for 5-10 years. I’m proudest with my 11 year old fabric softener bottle. 😂 Of course I clean them often. I’ve saved so much money because they’re generally cheaper to purchase. If only other countries especially the US practices this.
lot more waste is generated because you don't get as much as where you would if you buy the bottle. plus now you have two types of things to recycle, the starting bottle and the refill pack. then you also factor in the impact making all of those refill packs has over just making the bottles themselves which hold more.
the only reason anything works over there recycling wise is because they are very strict about it. even then not everything can be recycled but that's never talked about.
recycling isn't magic, it's not free in any aspect. convenience has a cost, as does everything. transporting all of that extra waste isn't free, even if they can recycle 100% of the packaging.
over here in the US it's not pretty, at all. however sugar coating Japan's over production of plastic isn't the best idea.
that's not even talking about the REASON people in Japan like packaged stuff that way. they are all over worked, the packaging came out of a need to waste less time and people making profit off of that. the underlining issue driving the packaging convenience is due mostly to being expected to work your entire life away. it's not something to strive towards.
companies should be 100% responsible for all waste they generate, that includes packaging. if that was the case you would find that all products would very quickly shift from convenience to whatever makes them the most money. which would certainly be large containers (bulk goods), not individually wrapped food particles.
@@rocksfire4390 The plastic pouch requires MONUMENTALLY less resources to produce than a dispense bottle. I'll bet it's less resource intensive to make even 10 or 20 of those pouches than just 1 dispense bottle.
@@georgebrantley776
doubtful. you are overstating by a monumentally amount.
that bag is about 150% the size of the container hes filling and it doesn't even fill it up all the way......so little volume from those refills.
also you would be dead wrong, at best it might be 3-1 (refill bag vs bottle). it's also much easier to use injection molds for bottles then it is to create a thin sheet, cut it, shape it, fill them and finally seal them.
plus recycling those bags seem like a nightmare. then you gotta think of how those bags are transported. seeing how weak they are they cannot stand up on their own in a transport setting. thus they need extra packaging to keep them from being crushed.
plus bottles can be reused if companies where forced to take responsibility for the containers they push out to make their profit. could get easily 50+ refills out of bottles by the time they would even start to show signs of damage.
There totally are refillable products in the US, you just bring your bottle and refill in store instead of buying a new container.
@@rocksfire4390 yup like yea you have that one big bottle you don’t have to throw away but you throw away so many small ones.
When I moved back to my home country after living in Japan for a few years, I found myself missing the thoughtful packaging from Japan - simple but thoughtful things like having the opening notches (like the ones for the quail eggs). I would get slightly homesick for Japan every time I struggled to open a package lol
When I tell people about Japan, I say it's "from the future". Simple little details like this illustrate how Japan is twenty years ahead of everywhere else. Thanks, Paolo!
Not really. Other things are 20 years behind.
@@firefly618 True.
Very helpful. They pack their products in a way that is super easy and convenient for the consumers.
too bad not environment friendly.
@@alr1577 cant have it all buddy
@@alr1577 still better than most countries
@@alr1577 They have a great recycling system. They even have a chart of different kinds of trash and when it can be thrown, etc.
At the expense of the environment.
I’m surprised you didn’t include onigiri packaging. I think that’s the most mind blowing thing I found in Japan.
Thumbs up if you know what I mean.
I think about the onigiri packaging at least once a day, and I found out about it like three years ago haha
I had a friend growing up who for some reason could never open those properly, no matter how many times she tried, I thought it was so funny. That packaging is pretty awesome though
Came here to say the same
I spent the entire year I was in Japan eating onigiri every day (alongside other food) because it was so good and the smart packaging was just mind blowing. Also the fact that you can buy boiled and salted eggs in every convenience store. Man I miss eating there.
😯
I could see the vacuum seal for some of the higher quality soy sauces. Meanwhile my family has a half used gallon jug of kikkoman in the pantry that's probably 10 years old. It tastes a tad different, but overall still edible.
Don't you hate it when you have friends or family visiting and you're about to cook them something only to find out you ran out of _cooking liquid_ ? 😩
🏃🏿♀️💨😭😭💀
Japan is that one popular kid in the school who does every work perfectly gets appreciated by his friends, teachers and every girl likes him..
who also has depression without anyone knowing
@@wheel6477 and have a really sychopatic mind but nobody know cause he have an innocent face
No.
Except his parent who believes he has so much potential but he's not living up to it
Just recently, the plastic seals have been eliminated to protect the environment
Instead of plastic seals, they have designed a cat ear shape on the lid which can be used to holding down the edges.
I feel like this video came across as more genuine and less corny than it can sometimes be (still enjoy these videos too often) - really enjoyed it! It felt fresh :)
Love to see "A Day in the life of a recycling worker". All I see in Japan is plastic, plastic, plastic. Sealed containers (cup noodles) in plastic? Banana's in plastic?
That was also the first thing I noticed when I was in japan. The flood of packaging.
speaking of recycling, i once walked pass a trash car... it smelled like teriyaki, i was genuinely surprised... no foul smell at all!
Japan has a technology that converts plastics to gasoline if I remember correctly. That was once featured in Discovery Channel quite a years back
Well there must be a reason why Japan is at the second place after USA for using one time plastic packaging.
Japan has a very advanced recycling system. They recycle 85% of their plastic while in the US it’s only 8.7% which is a significant difference
I love the frustration-free packaging. I bought some Japanese sunscreen, and the front of the package was perforated. All you had to do was peel off the plastic. No scissors needed. Wish Costco would do this with their toothbrush heads. You have to cut into the hard plastic and then there are sharp edges. But I get why we can’t have nice things b/c people steal stuff :( I’ve seen open snack bags often in stores.
Always enjoy the convenience of their design since it makes my life a little easier. Plus, it's fun.
日本の食や文化をCZcamsで発信しているジュンジローと申します。いつも楽しく動画拝見させていただいてます。撮影や編集の仕方とても勉強になります！次回の動画も楽しみにしてます！My name is Junjiro, and I'm a CZcams fan of Japanese food and culture. I always enjoy watching your videos. I learn so much from the way you shoot and edit! I'm looking forward to your next video!
These designs are so convenient! I'm always impressed by Japan's thoughtful products and packaging. It's the little details that make life easier. I noticed this when I was in Japan and before the clerk handed me my paper shopping bag, she put tape around the thin, rope handle. Normally, that would dig into your hand or arm, leave a red mark, and it's not very comfortable. That small detail helped, and she didn't have to do it. I've never seen it done anywhere but in Japan.
Yes! And one time it was raining and the dept. store had a special upside down bag to fit over the paper shopping bag. I took a photo, lol.
That’s so cool and helpful! I took a photo of the washi tape they used to seal my Mister Donut bag. It said, “Thank you, beautiful people.” So random but I loved it lol
Always loved the attention to detail and user experience for many Japanese products! Blows my mind each time :)
“I thinks lot of Japanese people prefer to eat one nugget at a time”
That was what I thought too😂😂😂 ahhh so it’s for bentos
Always love to see your sharings of these goodies😊😊 thank you!
All of the meticulous details Japanese companies put into their products is usually very ingenious and helpful to their consumers. I remember I was using a protractor cutter for a design class and my blade got dull and thought to myself I had to buy some more. Then I looked at this little corner compartment and opened it and low and behold a stack of blades fell out!
Looking good Paolo! I hope I can come back to Japan after the pandemic dies down and bring my new little family with me.
I lived for a while in Japan, the harshest thing about living there for me was the food portions. Just like the one nugget bento, convenient and very neat, but as a foreigner it takes forever to get used to the "normal" amount of food in a single bento
If you look at the difference in portions between Mcdonalds of the US compared to Japan, it's a shocker too LOLO
We love your selection for this video! The bit of extra thought put into each product makes all the difference. It's easy to miss when you're living in Japan so it's great to see this through your fresh perspective!
Great idea for a video. Well done. Thanks for creating and sharing it.
Great video dude!! Thanks for doing it!!
Japan is so thoughtful in their design. Not just for profit.
Not thoughtful of the environment....
Except it is for profit. Because if your product has a longer shelf life you can sell it cheaper and therefore shift more of it. Also it means if there's a lull in demand you don't have to keep producing as much at a loss because the stock you have already made is good for a while longer.
Too much plastic packaging used in Japanese packaging. They often wrap every single sweet too. Too much waste and very bad for environment. Innovative eco-friendly packaging is the future, not innovative plastic packaging.
It shows how meticulous Japanese culture and technology is, and I also feel how I wasted many opportunities in my past Japan trips not knowing these details, such as one for pudding and cup noodle tape!
Thanks for another great video, have a great weekend~ :D
I binged watched all of your day in the life videos and they were amazing i enjoyed them so much, Keep up with the good content :)
How Awesome,, that Japan so pay attention to detail about packaging like this...
Loved this vid. I like Japanese ingenuity. Although sometimes it can be a bit unnecessary.
Loved Maiko’s “tsukkomi” too. It gave a good balance to the vid and make it more natural.
Japanese packaging is literally a hobby of mine at this point 😭 so amazing and makes so much sense
where i live, in the uk, we have something very similar to that pudding one. when you get crème caramel from the supermarket, you tip it upside-down on the plate (obviously with the lid off) and then peel a tiny rectangle of foil from the bottom. there's a little hole under the foil so the suction is instantly released and it just slips onto the plate without having to squeeze it or anything (and they always have actual liquid caramel too)
Your content gets better and better and break away from typical travel/ restaurants reviews. I like it!
Great video! Thanks for sharing all the unique things we are so spoiled to have in Japan. With the refillable soap, not sure if you noticed, but in many store, the price for the refills are often more expensive or same as a new bottle price. It's good to be eco friendly, but seems strange that the price is the same or in some cases more expensive. I think most people don't do the math to calculate the price per ml, so they assume refillable are cheaper.
You missed one of my favorites that a lot of people don't know about: The little plastic triangle piece on the lift-up flap of those tiny disposable coffee creamer containers that you get at some restaurants, on airplanes, etc. When you lift up the flap slightly, you can take that little plastic piece off and use it to poke a hole in the top of the container, equalizing the pressure so that when you open it all the way, you don't get any creamer spurting out on your finger. One of those "who even knew this was a problem?" kind of things, but if you ride on airplanes a lot, as I used to do, it makes a lot of sense.
I agree that packaging where I'm originally from (the U.S.) is often frustration-inducing. (Like those "Press in to open" labels on boxes--Macaroni and Cheese, anyone?--where you end up just ripping the top off anyway?) Japan, on the other hand, offers some great, innovative packaging but relies on an awful lot of plastic to do it.
THANKS FOR SHARING. MUCH APPREACIATED
Love these videos. Very informative👍
Hey, Paolo please bring those day-in-the-life videos. They were awesome
Yes
Yeah! Day in a life
I looove Japanese puddings. Just the right amount of sweetness and fluffiness. 🥰
I really enjoy your videos and your humor is top notch!
Thanks for another great and informative content! 🖤
I’m really in love with with your channel
I was waiting for you to show conbini onigiri wrapping. Amazing way to wrap rice and keep it separate from the nori.
These are simple yet very useful & effective solutions 😍
Love your channel Paolo
One of the best interesting channel on CZcams
Waiting for your next Day in the Life episode...
I love Japan so much. So much thought goes into everything. Paolo, one thing you forgot to highlight is a key feature unique to all Japanese packaging: every package or box opens the first time, every time, in the right place! Here in the USA, I think maybe 5% of packages open correctly, if that many. So frustrating after being in Japan. Thanks for the video!
You are awesome as always ... I'm enjoying your video 👍😊
double notched bags are genius!!
Me: super into plastic-free packaging
Paolo demonstrates soy sauce bottle.
Me: applauds excitedly
When it first showed up in Hawaii, it was called Cup O' Noodle. This was way back in the 70's. I don't know when it changed to Cup Noodles. As for that little tape, I haven't seen it here in California yet. I like to buy the Curry Cup Noodle from Daiso. Handy for when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to eat a lot.
That one might be a Mandela effect. Like the Berenstein bears
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the second notch. I hate sticking my hand in a bag and being able to tear the package in half once you get the treats from the top..... *chef's kiss* would love this for chip bags.
I could watch Paolo's videos all day! It's nice to get a peek at Japanese culture.
Truly agree.
Pringles: "Haha consumer convenience."
Oh man, I wish chip bags had double notches too. When my family eats out of a family-sized bag of potato chips until it’s almost empty, my dad always cuts it horizontally halfway down the bag with scissors lol
I've always liked your video until now, where I love it!
Simple, entertaining and yet informative content! Be safe everyone! 😻
We have the pudding notch in Spain too!
Fun fact about the sauce:
Some McDonald’s do have butter and syrup duo packets
Really?
It's for pancake.
I am fairly new to your channels. I’m not sure how I came across them, but I’m so glad I did! You all are entertaining, informative, and just plain fun! Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Very good video.. very interesting on the packaging.
The air/anti-oxidation bottles are the most interesting to me---but I was wondering: are the bottles reusable?
Probably not
Nope but they can be recycled like almost all bottles in Japan
Who care.lol

@@asten9647 most people do
They are actually eliminating the stickers on Cup Noodles to minimise plastic waste and they have designed a two-ears-seal instead.
@Explore People Background my username
I always sit my chopsticks on top to keep the lid down. surprised that's not the norm
I had never seen a video that was more focused on just you with the products,and I found that I really enjoy your upfront in the camera style and it seems more comedic than the Day in The Life
I always feel happy when you release a video
I had an obsession with pudding for months and was so ashamed of how long it took me to figure out it’s packaging function 😅🥲
Another very interesting video! Loved the pudding release valve! But you gotta add the ingenious packaging for convenience store onigiri that keeps the nori crisp!!! 👍😄
Some of the amazing things the Japanese think of is outstanding! The space saving ideas are crazy and wonderful. I'd love to visit Japan.
More companies need to incorporate that fit-in notch for their refill bottles!
i didnt know anything about that pudding packing so cool. my friend also opens up potato chips in circular pattern from the center haha
Your videos are both informative and entertaining 😸💕
You take such an amazingly long time to explain something so simple.
I remember buying those sauce squeeze packets for almost all my 23 years here in NZ for the fish and chips haha
and ‘straya. Gotta love the tomato squeeze packets with the meat pie.
Way longer than that for both NZ and Aus! Those sauce dispensers were invented in the early 90’s
we have also had those pudding cup notches for decades as well in aus. Remember it when i was a kid
always amazed with how creative Japanese products are!!
Creativity at the expense of the environment.
@@silveriver9 ok weaboo
@@zipit7089 Too much plastic packaging used in Japanese packaging. They often wrap every single sweet too. Too much waste and very bad for environment. Innovative eco-friendly packaging is the future, not innovative plastic packaging.
Paolo, that smile of yours is infectious!
I love the condiment one. I first discovered that in Japan in 2019. It was butter and jelly. I was so amazed at it. Talked about it to everyone. Wish Hawaii would make those. Loved this video. Brought back memories of Japan. I'm patiently waiting to visit again!. Mahalo!
Those where invented in Australia 🇦🇺, we have so many different sauces such as tomatoes,mustard, salad dressing and so much more
6:03 in Mexico, we also cut our chips at the side of the bag because it has a wider neck for topping like cheese,chamoy, hot sauce, corn, ECT! " Sabritas preparados" best to share or big snack !
Lol same here in the Philippines
11:47 The culture dependent on large amounts of plastic for everything in Japan as long as its products look better aesthetically and sell more amazes me every time I see it. While in many countries caring for the planet and reducing plastic is important, in Japan they have plastic packaging inside the packaging so that you can eat just one cookie ... they are addicts of Matrioshka-style plastic.
To be fair unlike north america they actually have recycling centres and the processing facilities to do so, unlike most of north america where we sort the recycling to sell it to other countries to hope they recycle it for real 😂
If this were packaging here in north america I would whole heartedly agree that this is wasteful regardless of how consumer friendly the packaging is
@@geckosocks it still takes energy to process plastic, and almost all that thin packaging plastic isn’t recyclable.
@@jendubay3782 true but here in canada we have recycling faculties that claim to recycle thin plastics like plastic bags 🤷♀️ thankfully a lot of cellophanes and others are very easily biodegradable! So we'll likely keep getting better at recycling these things
Such interesting solutions to problems most people have, never noticed that tab on the bottom of noodles. Real shame a lot of these plastic wrappers are non-recyclable though, would be good to see more innovation from Japan in that space.
True
I think these plastic are for air seal to prevent smell or water get into the cup.
In reality even if food are packed by paper. The paper itself are also have plastic layer.
So it just use more other resource with plastic. And more resource to make that paper.
Sometime food in jp extra warped for emergency situation and make it last longer. (Flooding, earthquake etc)
There are also a eco version of the cupnoodle package for camping. It don't have the cup.
Paolo in front of the camera with Maiko in the background is making my day so hard! hahahaha Makes the video so much more fun! Love you guys!! And thanks for this episode! Japan is so kawaii and innovative. You can see that these Japanese companies think of the consumer.
This is very interesting and it brings packaging into a totally whole different level, so creative, organized and thoughtful for the consumer but tbh its also too much of plastic usage for small amount of food/product and some of it doesn't even seems necessary.
E.g. that whole mini plastic tray for 1 nugget.
Considering the plastic consumption worldwide has been increasing day by day, it would be great for us to reduce plastic usage as much as we can. Still i really enjoyed the video Paolo!
Totally agree! :)
Wow!!!! The world needs to keep up with Japan
Okay mind blown... That bottle is AMAZING!!
_I really enjoyed the refill bags for many different liquid products in Japan. TSUBAKI hair products especially, I love not having extra bottles of a product I use regularly!_
3:40 yo Paolo, Nissan’s actually the car manufacturer… the Cup Noodles manufacturer is called Nissin, just a little vowel typo thought that I let you know
There is a lot of plastic in the packaging in Japan in Euroe we tend to avoid it, that's why maybe we don't ghave many of these prepacked ready stuff, just a thought.
Fantastic upload!!
small change make their customers life easier, what a outstanding innovation!
what about emergency food, it’s the most awesome thing that I have ever seen, you don’t need fire to heat it, just a chemical reaction and you have freshly cooked food wherever you go.
Those have been around for many decades though. That idea came from the army forces and their MRE meals.
@@lmaree200886 I never seen before, thank you for the info. I just saw it on a japanese youtube video for the first time.
@@eliaarce3077 I like the Japanese ekiben (train bento lunch) the most! They look so nice and have an assortment of foods in them and there’s so many types. They also have the pull string heating bentos at their train stations.
The pudding trick exist here in France for as long as I can remember eating "Flamby" (the brand of pudding in France) so nearly 25 years now xD
Yeah, same here in Spain (and I would say for quite a bit more years, hehe).
But it does fit well in this collection, it's the same kind of little details that make packages more convenient.
Yeah same in portugal
I know that pudding package all my life and I’m over 40 years old 😅😅
Same in the UK!
All amazing designs
Japan, bro. They got it when it comes to practicality and efficiency. So cool.
They're getting rid of the stickers on cup noodles to reduce plastic waste
Since it only latches a tiny part of the lip you might as well use a fork or spoon anyways. Same result, less waste.
i just use chopsticks that im going to eat with anyway
Yea lets save the earth
"how do we stop global warming"
we'll just remove the small plastic stickers from cup ramen 🤣
Agreed, none of the cup noodles we’ve bought recently had the tape. We just plunk a plate or saucer on top whilst they’re cooking.
I was surprised as I saw the Knorr name on the food bag :D It's a German Brand. Greetings from Germany here^^
Knorr ist überall ^^
czcams.com/video/r1g_NgEhBSI/video.html
Knorr is now owned by Unilever, an Anglo-Dutch company which own over 400 brands and is universal, so Knorr is world wide. Although actually in Japan it's not distributed by Unilever but by a company called Ajinomoto. In some countries it's not called Knorr, but it's the same products just called something different. Definitely the best instant soup, bouillon and pasta packets!
Those refills for the bottles are pretty cool
one package that amazed me when i went to japan on a holiday was an onigiri package:
the seaweed and the onigiri itself were packaged in different compartments, so the seaweed remained dry and crunchy, but the pachage was made in a way that you just had to pull on a strip, take away the plastic and the onigiri and the seaweed would just come together in your hands done.
Then you could enjoy your 100yen onigiri with hout the seaweed beeing soggy ad chewy.
The pudding notch is common in a lotta countries. Or a little tab covering a hole.
How else do you get your pudding/creme caramel out?!
omg the 2 in 1 packet yessss! i was at a hotel in japan and they had that packet with butter and honey!
It was invented in Australia 🇦🇺, you can find it everywhere with diffrent flavours
I love watching his videos, so educational and funny too sometimes :)
...this was great, more like this! :) all the best from NYC!
The flan packaging design is super common all throughout Europe since years lol
