Japanese shops
« on: January 30, 2005, 11:35:34 am »
Does anyone have any Japanaese shops near where they live? I ask
because it just dawned on me that they may sell the Japanese Kitkat
varieties. I have been in the Chinatown where I live and into a Chinese
supermarket (anyone fancy some squid?), but still dont know where to
find a Japanese one.

WE have a few in Birmingham, If I go near there I will go in and see. Lets hope I dont have to wade through innards to find them.


Sometimes the big department stores are good for things like this though, like House of Fraser/Harvey Nicks/Selfridges.

Is Harvey Nicks the "poosh" shop? The one with a large man opening the door for all the cusomters.

No, a grey jacket and wearing an extremely tragic hat.

Thats a good idea. Also keep your eye on the cybercandy web site as they stock a large variety of Japanese goods.

Ours is huge too salsa. He wasnt there today though, probably out shopping for a new scary hat



I had a look in but no Kitkats. Though they did have lavender milk chocolate and lemon flavour chocolate. And Timtams.

There is an import candy shop in Telford called something like 'Candy From Heaven' that sell lots of different Kit Kat types... not to mention cinnamon tictacs, almond M+Ms, white smarties (White choc and white shell), all the Hersheys range, Caramilk etc.


They import from America, Africa, Japan and all over the place. Well worth a look!
