How to find a Brazilian store?
Of course, there are many other Brazilian stores, restaurants and markets scattered throughout Japan. Unfortunately it is not so easy to find them without knowing the name or city where they are located.
I usually search on Google Maps for the expressions Brazilians, Brasileiro and ブラジル along with the name of the city or the region I am in. By doing so, you come across thousands of nearby results.
A good tip for finding Brazilian stores, restaurants and markets is to look in the regions where you find more Brazilians. Whenever you look for something, try in the regions of Nagoya, Shizuoka, Mie, Gifu, Gunma, Kanagawa, Saitama, Shiga, Nagano, and Ibaraki.
The good thing about using Google maps is that you can read comments about the place, an evaluation note and photos to find out if it likes you or not. There is usually a website where you can find the list of products and menu.
Care with Brazilian products
Some people move to Japan but do not forget about Brazil and how their products are of poor quality and can be bad for their health. So avoid and be careful when consuming Brazilian products.
I'm not trying to do away with Brazilian products, but everyone already knows how terrible the industrial inspection in Brazil is and the laws that administer the chemical and other compounds found in the products.
Not to mention that imports generally have problems. I myself had a bad experience with Japanese products purchased in Brazil. The taste was not original, products were out of date and prices were very high.
Amazingly, there are people who import beauty products and clothes from Brazil, and in Japan they have a gigantic collection of the same products and of high quality for a very low price.
It's okay to enjoy great Brazilian cuisine and buy nostalgic Brazilian products from time to time. Just be careful not to make it a habit that will damage your pocket and your health.
I may be exaggerating, but my body has never felt so good while I'm in Japan, even though I feed daily in restaurants, only to return to Brazil that it gets all deregulated. That's why I'm writing!
Sometimes we miss Brazilian products for being sweeter or saltier. This may seem good, but it only sustains the addiction to sugar and salt. Try to get used to the Japanese seasoning for your own good.
Be careful when shopping at online stores run by Brazilians and for imported products. While writing this article, I noticed that many stores do not have HTTPS certification, so I think many stores may be fake or abandoned.
So I leave as a tip:
- I always check the expiration date of the products;
- See if you don't have a healthier alternative of the same product;
- Stay tuned to online stores;
- See if you are not paying too much;
- Sometimes you find the same product in the Japanese version;
- Brands that you think are national actually have in Japan;
- Research prices well so as not to be exploited in a restaurant;
It is not my goal to criticize Brazilian products. I am alert with these situations here in Brazil too, I always look at the validity of the products and if it has not been tampered with. I have friends who worked in markets and they tell the horrible things that markets do with expired products and others.
It turned out that I became a paranoid person who prefers to eat an artisanal hamburger than a traditional X-tudo. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the article. If you liked it, share it and leave your comments.
