Http://www.asiafoods.com seems to have an interesting selection that may be worth looking into. Ramune soda by the case, mmm. :-D
Ramune... I can make my own with a half a cup of sugar / a cup of seltzer water and a marble One thing that they have is Kasugai gummies, mm Lychee. Haven't seen those in years http://www.asiafoods.com/asi/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Product_ID=377&CATID=8 http://www.asiafoods.com/asi/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&ObjectGroup_ID=104&Product_ID=340 These make me laugh, "authentic"? "good"? I'm disappointed Kikkoman! Also, they're sold in practically every supermarket.. They have pearl/tapioca tea (bobas) but they don't have Thai iced tea? :\ If you like thai food you must know thai iced tea. http://www.i-clipse.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=11259-70022 This is the best US imported brand, and much cheaper than it used to be.
what about that real thick type of ramen noodle i see people eating in japan?? Its not the same as the ramen noodles that are condensed into a block that you can buy from a grocery store... where can you get the thicker noodles?
I presume you're talking about udon. You can buy great instant udon meals from Japan but probably not online/in America since they can't be dehydrated/reconstituted. You can however usually buy bare udon noodles vacuum packed (which is what they use in the deluxe J instant meals) in lots of US supermarkets
Hawaii is nice but damn expensive. Puerto Rico is just as good and damn cheaper because of its Territory status.
[quote You're in Hawaii? Parents moving there soon. My us residence to follow suit.[/quote] Uh... yeah. Where the fuck have you been? I'm in Honolulu. You're going to move here after your year stint in Shibuya? It's not a bad place... if you want to practice your Japanese... hell... just go down to Waikiki and help the old people around. In all honesty I would've never moved here, but my whole company moved. I get to do whatever the fuck I want as long as I get my work done. I wear what the fuck I want, get to do office sports, and goof off, and get paid, so I couldn't very well turn them down, now could I?
I know the Thread is old but i recommend all of you the shop. www.jimport.ch It is down at the moment but the shop is working to open up to the end of this year. You can see a fan Video on youtube. It is in german language but you can see the snacks. http://youtu.be/9Thlo2DW5FE I will order from him also Video Game Snacks and im happy if i receive it in the next 2 months. The shop ships to all countrys. So if it is open again maybe you can take a closer look What are your japanese foods favortite ?
I take it your local Chinatown doesn't have any Asian groceries? I guess Canadians are pretty fortunate. You can find Chinese shops just about anyplace. Or at least a T&T supermarket.
I use to eat lunch at 7-11 here every day, but I've reached my limit on that stuff. Yuck! I guess that makes my favorite Pepsi NEX.
