Does any one know any web sites for raw food stuff that would ship to tokyo... or any stores there... I'm going on a few trips there and in 5 years I'm moving there. And it's expensive, 100 yen for an apple [ 120 yen =$1.00 I think] .And I NEED my hemp protein . It's expensive to get 1,600 caloreis a day from veggis and fruits and some nuts but I can , I'm not so sure if i can when I'm in tokyo tho.

Sometimes it's worth it to take a train ride down a little further south and buy from the little roadside markets, more than the super markets. As for things from the U.S., you might be better off shipping it to someone in the U.S. and having them ship it to you. But I'm here to tell you know, it costs quite a bit to ship to Japan. We were there for 5 years and I loved it. You just get the mikans! They are so sweet and delicious and juicy! I LOVED those! I would also suggest just trying to keep it as simple as possible to help cut down on prices while you are there. HTH!

Oh! And I don't know what you are going there for, but if you teach English to the Japanese (you DON'T need a degree!), you will more than make enough money to pay for your produce. The least I made was 3,000 yen an hour, that was for 1-2 people. The most I ever made was 7,500 yen an hour for a class of five students.

Good luck!

wow!! thanx!! I was thinking about teaching there... but I'm not that sure
:) I also think the tsukiji market would be a good place to look for stuff.

Hi guys-my wife and I are moving out to Japan from Canada next year(Hokkaido) and I'm a little scared about the spending thing-is it really that pricey? What about wheatgrass-can I buy wheat grouts out there and is that cheap? Because all this stuff costs peanuts here in Canada!

[shine72]

Not sure about Hokkaido. We were on Honshu. Don't know about the wheat. If you can't, see if you can find someone with an APO mailing address that's willing to work with you. Cause Azure Standard I KNOW mails to APO addresses. HTH!:D But seriously, Japan has some BEAUTIFUL produce!:D

The best, most beautiful mango I ever had was in Japan. And Hokaido is beautiful. Lucky you.
