I am usually excited when I find American things here in Japan, but then bummed when I see how high they jack up the prices for them. Looking forward to more of your adventures!

We have only just found a Korean store to go to here (Carson City, NV) but it is two hours away! in Sacramento, CA. Sorry you didn’t find a lot of things that you wanted, or had no choice.

But look on the bright side, eating seasonally is supposed to be a good thing, right? All the best with the ingredient hunt :) Shame about the perilla/sesame, we can’t always get them in the UK either.

But yeah, unfortunately the fish cake/sheets were frozen. They do have fresh rice cakes as well. :-) Hi Sue,

I am lucky to live in this city, where there are about 12 other Korean grocery shops. @JJ Is there free car parking? I don't like to carry heavy groceries by bus from the CBD. Though if they have perilla leaves, I am willing to take a bus. :) I decided I am going to see the bright side. :) I know there are lots more people who can’t get as many ingredients as I can.

I can ask to see if they have got perilla leaves. What are they called in Korean? Just in case the owner doesn't know what it's called in English. I can try to pronounce it out to her? Depending on where you take the bus to - there are bus stops very near there, too.

I can relate. I have had nothing but frozen crab sticks (even likely expired ones!) and fish cakes since moving to Vermont. I'm sure I've moaned about it before, but our nearest Korean grocery store is 3 hours away!!! Actually, that is technically not true. There is one that is 1 1/2 hrs. away in Montreal, but I don't drive in Montreal so it's still out of reach. Good luck with finding the things you need. I'm sure you'll learn to be very good at improvising and you just may get even more creative in your cooking. :) Oh, yes. I can relate.

Maybe it needs a longer fermenting period). They seemed to have more Korean instant snacks but less cooking groceries compared to the shops in Sunnybank. However, if I live in the city, I suppose I will have to get some ingredients from that shop. I also asked about perilla leaves but they didn't have them, but thank you for offering. By the way, perilla leaves are called ggaennip. @JJ

I did think the same - probably only about 2/3 aisles of Korean cooking groceries and the rest a mixture of snacks and japanese/chinese goods? How would a good Kim Chi taste like? More vinegerish? Have you had a look at Koz - the store Chelle mentioned? Do let me know how u go with that! Hi Sue.

In the deli section where they have sandwiches, and bulgobi and sushi. I don't know if the rice cake is fresh, but it's not cooked, but mixed with the sauce and tempura fishcake and pretty spicy and good! can you believe they have this at Costco here in Taipei?

We have a small company in Brisbane and have just started to import authentic Korean barbecue tables (with centred charcoal cooking plate). I can provide a photograph of the table if you are interested. Thanks Adam adamreyn@hotmail.com Hi everybody.
