As someone who has been cooking Japanese food at home for years, it's fun to see this on the front page.
One thing worth noticing is that most of the items discussed in this article are pretty tough to find in the US — even online, unless you read Japanese (which I don't). Even here in California at your local Japanese grocery it's quite tough. Finding a good source for Gyosho seems nearly impossible. I've been dreaming about opening a Rainbow grocery or Bi Rite quality Japanese grocery store. Don't see myself having the time for that in the near future...
On the other hand — the quality of produce from Hikari Farms [0,1] is really fantastic. And Good Eggs will deliver it to my door!

- jacobolus 10y agoHave you tried Tokyo Fish Market in Berkeley? (I don’t know much about Japanese cooking, so I couldn’t advise you about specific ingredients.)
- state 10y agoSomehow, no! Will check it out. Thanks!
- mc32 10y agoOf all places, it appears Columbus OH has a pretty decent Japanese supermarket[1]. They have things even "Japanese" supermarkets in California don't have.
