The hot sauce is made with an original blend of Premium Kanzuri chili paste aged 6 years for a deeper umami, locally grown Carolina Reaper Peppers for that extra fire and shoyu (Japanese soy sauce).
This is what a Japanese Office Lady or a Japanese Woman working in an office may typically eat in a day at the conbini, Japanese convenience store, including total calories and how much it costs. So in Tokyo, Convenience stores are literally everywhere and it’s very typical to eat conbini food when you don’t feel like cooking or simply to save money from eating out. This is peek inside the a day in the life of a female worker in Japan eating at the convenience store 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This look in Japanese work culture and what they may eat during the day. In a recent study, office workers in Japan, were asked what they commonly ate for lunch, and 45% shared that it was a homemade bento, while 22% reported that they ate from the conbini and only 11% said that they dine out. In other words, when preparing a bento from home is not an option, the next best thing is lunch from the conbini.

Get my Paolo fromTOKYO Premium Kaminari Hot Sauce here - paolofromtokyohotsauce.com
I've bought a couple of bottles and it's really good.
Lol, as a Japanese person living in North America, I find it hilarious that they still use the term 'office lady' in 2023. 😆
Got one, very good, very hot, still trying to figure out how to actually use it with my food to not be too hot lol
Grabbed some at the Tsukiji Outer Market when I visited Japan last month. It tastes great and I took a photo with the Paolo cardboard cutout 😅
@@briz33 I bought a bottle for me and a bottle for a friend. It's hard to find a Reaper sauce where you can taste the pepper, and not just vinegar and tomato paste. I'm loving the sauce so far, but my stomach isn't =D
Interview with Tomokazu Sugita so that everyone knows what the life of a Japanese voice actor is like.
Joseph Joestar Katakuri Sakata Gintoki Tanaka Gundham Himejima Gyomei Escanor the list goes on
是非！ぜひ！ゼヒ！パオロさんお願い！
holy if only this can happen
I agree! We need voice actor version🥹 please
He can’t record him masturbating 3 hours a day.
Love how she shakes off the sun from the umbrella at 2:41 xD
Rightttt 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love Maiko's fashion! 💞 Also, I wish konbini's were popular in the west. Imagine being able to get actual, sustaining food from 7/11. Would literally be so helpful for students and workers, and healthier.
Aren't 24/7 diner's the equivalent of a convenience store in the US.
@@patrickbueno3279diner food is something you really have to sit down for and eat while it’s hot, unlike convenience store food which are easier to take to-go.
I cry everyday for edible food sold by 7/11
The 7/11 near me doesn't have good food options and its much more expensive. The yogurt u get there is way cheaper in Target nearby.
If you're not living in the sticks, there are convience stores / gas stations with decent selections.
Paolo, your videos make me smile, especially your “A day in the life of” series. I really love seeing and knowing about how Japanese people live their lives.
Glad you like them!
Same here - he creates other stars from his content.
They are wholesome and it's educational on how jobs in Japan are the same, or very different to other countries.
When I was in Japan a few times many years ago, the food is what really shocked me since it was over the top SO GOOD. Even convenience stores were amazing! :)
@@PaolofromTOKYO when are you going to be making more “A day in the life of” videos?
Really nice video. I had the opportunity to try the convenience store food and can say every thing we bought was of a good quality for the money we paid and delicious.
@@PaolofromTOKYOgo back to Mexico Paulo
Awesome Maiko's back. Next we need a Paolo 'day in the life of a CZcamsr in Japan' video 😂
I remember a long time ago there was atop comment wanting "a day in the life of a Yakuza member"
we need a day in the life of Paolo!!
Thanks I am Indonesia
U can basically see that ob his vlogging channel, Tokyo Zebra.
The pants material shes wearing is used in my country( st lucia ) as a national wear for the celebration of jounen kweyole (creole day) its a celebration where we celebrate the culture of our Grand parents "how they live, the homes they lived in, the way kids were brought up, the equipment's they used, how they cooked, the tools, how they grew up an so on and so forth " also embracing our second language (french creole).
It was so heartwarming .
Thank you for sharing your tokyo experience.
That’s such a great idea for a holiday! 🎉
I loved Maiko's smile when she had the fish with your hot sauce! I saw your store when I visited the Tsukiji market the other day and was so happy to see how your channel has grown. I remember watching you when you had 20k subscribers. I wish you continued success! :)
Oh wow!

@@vexy-_-1122 this nigga lmao
You miss the bit where her face begins to sweat from the awesome power of the heat 😂
Hellow may friend. Good luck video
Very nice video. Maiko looks like a boss, not just an office lady, she has a lot of fashion and is very elegant. Would love to see an update on your subjects in your Day in the Life series, esp the lady that makes knives, the construction company owner, and the firefighter. I wonder how they are doing now.
She is so stylish. She ate about 1,400 calories, we tend to eat more in UK. her meals were healthy and she was able to even have a treat. I should eat more Japanese food. Japanese food is getting popular here, today I was eating some for my dinner.
I stayed in Japan for 6 months as a research student and I ate these exact items. It's so fun to see that it's true for most people there! I'm not good with cooking so I often buy ready-made meals or takeout. I was never bored with the food choices in konbinis. They are all affordable, delicious, and hella convenient.
As an office lady myself, this is great to see! I wish we had convenience stores like that in the U.S.. I'm hybrid when it comes to work, but I've recently gotten into learning how to make and pack bentos when I do have time to make some food the night before. Maiko taking off her high heels after work is exactly what I do when I'm in the office. I also wear high heels a lot in the office.
Hey, nothing wrong with bringing food from home. You bring what you like, and you don't waste break/lunch time going to get food and you save money 😊
Those prices are very reasonable. And Maiko is very stylish. Japanese convenience stores are an endless source of fascination for me. I wish the ones here in Australia were up to the same standard. Ours vary greatly in quality and are often not cheap at all!
Amazing to see how much more affordable food is in other countries. Here in the US, $15.40 is becoming the typical price for a casual restaurant lunch, and that's before a beverage, taxes, and expected tip. I think eating out is going to become a luxury in many households when it used to be common to go out once a week to take a break from having to meal prep and cook at home.
15 gets u mcdonalds
15$ arent easily earned in japan than they are in the US
Sounds like a city thing lol
You dont understand America was living off the bones of WW2 for a long time, thats how they had the living standard. Now the laws of budget and finance are catching up to them you'll see a lot more people brown bagging in inside the next 7 years
Awesome video as always Paolo. Your "A Day in the Life" series are so awesome for someone who is very interested in Japanese culture and normal ever day life in Japan this is the best series on CZcams.
This is not just another Japan channel ...This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰
Love Maiko's play-acting. Nice touch with the Hot Sauce! The total is what we would pay for one meal, not the entire day, CHEAP, delicious and Healthy. Why can't we have that here?!!!!
Paolo: "Dang, I can't find an office lady for my new video..."
Maiko: "Hold my Karada Sukoyaka tea!"
Fun to see Maiko the subject of the Video. I'm amazed at how cheep it is to eat at a Combini. You couldn't buy a lunch here in the States for what you pay for 3 meals in Japan, not to mention getting 3 Healthier meals . BTW Maiko looked Very Sophisticated.
I think it's also because the exchange rate between JPY and USD is extremely favorable to the latter at the moment!
I was thinking the same thing about the meal totals!
Apart from the exchange rate making stuff cheaper for Americans in Japan, keep in mind that the median salary for Japanese is about 67% of the median American salary.
Not only that but things you buy at a convenience store in the U.S. are more expensive than if you were to buy the same items at a big grocery store.
@@specialk9999that applies all around the world, buying in bulk at the grocery store is much cheaper. 16$ would probably make you 3 days of the same meals you've seen in the video, by preparing them at home. 16$ will get you alone like 5kg of rice.
these videos make me so happy when i'm sad. dealing with stress at work but every time i watch these videos i get excited! thank you paolo
Hi Paolo and Maiko, thanks for a great video and Maiko you look amazing! Very sharp contrast to what is available from convenience stores in Australia.
I''d love to see video about what Paolo eats in a day !!!
He did one, where he went to 5 pubs in a day avoiding his wife and child. No feet shots unfortunately :( I checked the whole thing
Your signature camera angles and sequences are impressive as always. You have some of the best series on CZcams. 👏
Thank you kindly ^_^
Thank you for the video. Always love the insight into city life in Japan and Maiko is five star!
Your elegant wife glides through her day like a butterfly🦋 I so love your videos. Thank you Paolo💙
I like the little umbrella shake at 2:41. Muscle memory from when it's raining out....
Lol true
Always love your stuff, wishing you and your family the best
Nice to see what’s easy access food for work! Plus tell Maiko I love her fashion sense!! Loving her outfit ❤❤
love your videos, they're always so wholesome and relaxing 😊
I really love watching your videos! Thank you for sharing what it's like in Tokyo! Very interesting!!!
Paolo getting the bag 💰
That standee is really cool. This channel has grown so much. It’s amazing
I love seeing Maiko in your videos, and I love how you two are always supporting each other in some way. Another great video, Paolo! Thanks for sharing!
Bro I'm really love your work keep up 💪
Thank you for these day in a life series, really have been enjoying them. I'd love to learn Japanese and go back to Japan. Meanwhile, your hot sauce is amazing and one of the best I've had and one that I was searching for a while since most just taste like vinegar. It has the best taste and only needs a drop or two to spice up any dish. Take care and good luck with everything.
Are the outdoor dining areas really that clean in Japan? Or just certain areas.
I enjoy these videos so much and the Day in the life of that I give it a thumbs up before the video hits 2 second lol
Just going to say that Maiko in this video looks like a very wealthy person attempting to suit into a working class community....her walk, her pants, her golf ball sized pearl earrings and demeanor in general. Come on Paolo...
I thought she “worked” from home… but I don’t watch them often. I stopped when they were apartment shopping and complaining about walking to trains
No place beats Japan's convenience stores and grocery stores. They are just the best. I eat so much at the convenience stores and grocery stores when in Japan. So, convenient and the food choices are so healthy and good.
I love how Maiko careful sets out each dish before she eats it. I believe I've seen that with most Japanese people, but I really appreciate it!
Hi Paolo, your tips for Tokyo DisneySea were very helpful for my recent trip! Journey to the Center of the Earth was amazing!! 🤩
Maiko is so pretty, I always laugh when she takes her role so seriously 😂
Love all your videos!
Excellent as usual !
Simple videos like this makes me relax a bit more
Great to see Maiko take up the role for this video! Well done!
Your vids are always so amazing Paolo!
Glad you like them!
love your “A day in the life of” series❤
I love this video!!! ❤
I love your videos. Such a great family.
Liked how you shared the love between the all three main Japanese convenience store.
Her look is so cute! I love everything about it.
Maiko and I have the same bag! 👜🧡 Her outfit and confidence in her walk exuded “professional” 😁
Where is it from?
Very nice. Should do more of this 😊
I have never seen that type of tea here in Australia. Now I'm curious so I searched it hahah. And nice to see you Maiko!!
Thank you for sharing ❤️🥰🥰
$15 for an entire day's worth of food? That would buy me just one #2 combo at a fast food joint. Im jealous!
Maiko is so fancy!!!!! Another great video from you Paolo, your channel is the best, because of you and your strategic sponsorships I got to know Bokksu and signed their subscription service
Hi, Paolo. Excellent video!
I really enjoy this channel. Say hi to the fam!
The japan convience store food looks DELICIOUS. I am planning a 14-16 day trip to Honshu and I expect to eat a lot of fami chiki
His Big Smile always Get Me 💀
Natsukashii! I used to live very close to where you filmed this in Ebisu and immediately recognized all these buildings. For amazing yakitori, I highly recommend Toriyoshi, which is just down the hill from the JR Meguro station!
Damn, I appreciate how you put those calories up there. I count my calories daily and over here in Australia its very hard to get something in shop that is hearty but can still be under 300 cal. In fact, things are generally 400-700 cals. Mostly because its so high in fat like sugar, oil or butter. So eating out is usually something to avoid if you are watching your weight.
Same. A working mom here in the US. If I could just pop into a convenience store on the go for the those calories and that quality, I’d look like a supermodel 😂
I appreciate places that put the calories on the menu so I can make an informed decision. One thing I've had to totally give up is fancy drinks because I swear they're like 800 calories for just a vanilla latte and such. I now drink straight tea and just coffee with room for cream. I also carry snack bars with me that are 200 cal because it's hard to find anything like a small muffin that isn't 400+ cal. Anyway good luck staying healthy.
sugar is not fat
@@yelly11 yes you’re right. Its carbs
Nice Office Paolo, I like the colors
Excellent! Loved it. ❤
you havent lived until you have had cold soba noodles on a hot summer day. its so good.
Love my sauce pare paolo! Awesome upload
Thank you 🙏 for showing the price breakdown at the end of the video. I really appreciate this stuff. Also, when I worked in an office building (in America), my lunch alone was about $15 a day before I started to prepare my meals.
great video again
Excellent video Paolo. I counted the calories only to see you did it at the end. you read my mind!
Great vid!
Cool video, I really love Maiko's outfit in it, so unique.
Love the videos with this topic. 🎉🥳
There's just something about watching a PFT video that warms the soul
Wow, everything is so clean, even the streets. So nice.
I loved the addition of statistics in this one!
Everything looks so delicious. The somen, souffle and soju made me drool…
That was great product placement! I got your sauce a few weeks ago and i already ran out think i need to get me a whole box next time! XD
Almost every morning I turn on your Day In the Life of videos and just do whatever while they play in the background
Day in the life of japanese yakuza sounds dope!
Great vid...I used to work there (Yebisu Garden Place) when it first opened...keep up the good work.
Great video. And Maiko’s plaid pants are awesome!
Yooo. The thought process of all this is amazing, especially when it comes to being aware of the nutritional value. Skip the rice when drinking.......totally mindful and aware!
So fashionable! I love these videos the are so informative. Now I’ll be going to look up the benefits of Natto more.
I LOVE YOU PAOLO I'VE BEEN WAITING A WEEK FOR THIS VIDEO AND I WATCHED ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS LATELY I CAN'T GET ENOUGH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The konbini saved my life while I stayed out there :) and your wife’s fashion sense is awesome.
Maiko walking outside with that umbrella and handbag is just pure class!
This is pretty awesome
Awesome video as always! Verry eye opening to see that you can get all that for such a good price. I live in canada and a large ice coffee and large mango smoothie from the local chain coffee place was over $10. Cant afford to do that verry often these days.
The intro just sounded like an excuse to spend a lovely day with your wife filming her beauty. And I absolutely love it. I gotta go do the same thing. Paolo, you are a genius:)
When i visited Japan I preferred Lawson's snacks. The choco churro was great!
Nicely timed plug for your hot sauce with the fish!
I love this konbini confession! 😂
So jealous, I can eat from a Japanese convenience store for the whole and not get bored, the selection is amazing
absolutely love the convenience stores in Japan. Literally went a whole week without having to go to a restaurant.
Sure are a lot of feet shots 😂
He knows his audience
What my wife eats in a day part 2 😆
Always love your videos man! Galing mo! 😀
Wow, Palo, you've been hiding Mica's other side from us! Until now, we've only known her as Wolfeee's mom. But in this video, she's oozing confidence, power, and allure. Hats off to Mica; she looks absolutely stunning. We'd love to see more videos showcasing this side of her!❤❤❤
So true!
Maiko*
There's no way this woman eats 1300kcal on a daily basis
love it
You both are so sweet. I kept thinking of the behind the scenes, only having time to film while your son was at daycare, she is so beautiful, I sware I thought I saw her try not to laugh in one scene. Love your channel, love your style , love your vibe. I appreciate you both and all the hard work it takes to make all of us entertained.
