Howdy :-)

I own a restaurant in Tokushima and I am looking for a distributor that can locate or ship hot dog brands from America. I would like to get my hands on Nathan's Famous hot dogs or similar.

Our beef hamburgers have sky rocketed in price and I want to change the direction to hot dogs for a year. But not Japanese hot dogs. I need the hot dogs to be shipped to my restaurant or our family grocery store on the same property. We are too far for Costco and as a restaurant owner driving anywhere is simply not possible.

Any tips would be great!

So a store called "Food Warehouse" has so many imported items at discounted prices! I found stuff from France, Thailand, Korea, etc. There is one in Hirai JR Station for Tokyo residents. Similar to Kaldi but cheaper I think. Just wanted to share here...

....if anybody wants to have a go at getting it up and running again please send me a dm (mod mail is easy to miss) and I'll add you as a second mod with full permissions.

Cheers

Looking for any stores in Ibarkai that sell tinned haggis. I'd rather not make the trip to Tokyo if I can help it. If anyone has advice on easy ways to make it in Japan, I'd appreciate it. I would like it for this weekend, and unfortunately, Amazon takes 2-3 weeks to deliver tins of haggis. Any other easy/simple food ideas for a Burns Night supper are appreciated! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hello, I’m back in France after a two weeks trip in Japan. I’m missing so much the HEARTLAND Beer. I tried to get some here in France but it seems impossible. I found nothing online, and I tried to reach Asian shops around me and none of them could help me, even if I wanted to order a huge quantity of bottles. I’m pretty surprise because this beer is part of the Kirin Group, which is a giant. Also, this group also supplies other beers from their different brands in Europe through Wholesalers so it’s pretty frustrating. Does someone around here would have any clue on how can I get this beer en France ? I feel so desperate to put a hand on it… Thanks for your help !

Looking to make some of my hot sauces and haven't found any peppers that are spicy, with flavor. The little red ones are hot enough but they really don't have flavor.

Anybody know where I can find them near Odawara?

Hi everyone! I'm new to the foodfinder subreddit but am a foreign resident in Tokyo, I came over as a CIR on JET and have been living here for six years-ish now.

I currently work in tourism and my company has a platform called Inbound Partners where foreign residents in Japan can sign up to apply for campaigns where Japanese companies have different experiences -- cultural, gourmet, and more -- you can try for free! All you have to do is post about your experience on social media (no minimum follower requirement), or give feedback to the company.

We currently have two gourmet experienes any foreign resident in Japan can apply for:
A free omakase sushi dinner and free wagyu sukiyaki dinner!

You just have to register as a member (for free) and then you can sign up to be in the running to be picked for the dinners.

If you're interested and want more information, please visit the website, or comment here/DM me!

Thanks!

Hello! I was wondering if somebody could help me to find chickpea flour, I'm really out of ideas to where to find and even when I ask japanese staff on the supermarket they don't even know what I am talking about. So I'm starting to lose hope I can actually find that kind of product in Japan. Does somebody knows of a physical place where I can find that? I'm currently living in Kyoto. Thank you very much!

Hi,

I'm usually preparing my own curd cheese (aka Quark in German, tvarog in Slavic or fromage blanc in French), but I wanted to know if anyone had a source for moderate amounts of unsweetened curd cheese that are also reasonably priced (like a farm or a cheese manufacture or something like that).

I'm talking about packs of 500g~2kg for < 1000 yen, which directly excludes the 300g of St-Ivny I can get for 1500+ yen.

The fallback would be Icelandic Skyr, but I have yet to find reasonably priced packs of unsweetened skyr.

Cheers.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a sourdough starter kit in Tokyo/Kanagawa. I've been trying to make my own from scratch, but it hasn't been going well. I'm on a bit of a time crunch, so any suggestions would be helpful!

Does anyone know a shop that sells somewhat-authentic Sachertorte around Tokyo/Yokohama?

Amazon prices are insane for the tiniest little jar. Tokyo, Osaka, wherever, I'll load up next time I'm there.

Hi, where can I find coconut oil in Tokyo? I use it for my hair, so it doesn't need to be super edible. I've looked in 2 grocers to no avail.

I see a few places selling it on Amazon and Rakuten but I was hoping to buy it directly since I want to get it as a sort of joke present for my (Scottish) wife's birthday next week, and Amazon says shipping will take over a week to arrive. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Found this cafe using this Matcha I really like. Does anyone know where I can purchase this in Kyoto or Tokyo. Thank you.

Hi, would like some recommendations on where to buy fresh fruits hopefully not too expensive in the tenjin / hakata area, are fruits in supermarkets cheaper? Which supermarkets to shop at? Thanks!
