Japanese Freeze-Dried Strawberries

[AmyDaniel]

From the Candy thread in the Japan forum: check the bottom few replies and this link:

Has anyone found these treats in the city? If so, where? A friend brought them into work one day - I must have...

Here's a working link to the candy: http://az.nifty.com/cgi-bin/shopgoods?SCD=...10&GNO=00000425

There's a place on Mott Street (Japanese name and all ) that sells all sorts of Japanese snacks and candies. I can't remember the name of it BUT there's a good chance you could get them there. They sell everything ranging from dried shrimp snacks, dried crabs done in soy to various candies --- sorry but I was more interested in the shrimp, crab and squid snacks so I can't tell you if they definitely have them .

Aji Ichiban

37 Mott, 212-233-7650.

Goodluck

Cheers

Tom

Edit: coz I found the name, address and phone number

Hey, do you think one could find them in Takashimaya or Mitsukoshi (is there even a Mitsukoshi in NYC?) Is anyone familiar with the food area of Takashimaya?

Aji Ichiban I would say is more of a Chinese sweets store than a Japanese sweets store. PLaces I'd try -

Sunrise Mart on Stuyvesant or Grand

M2M Market on 3rd near 11th (or 12th, or 10th)

JAS Mart on St. Marks b/w 3rd and 2nd (basement level)

or, if those fail, the holy grail is

Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater, NJ

What about the Japanese market on 59th between 2nd and 3rd? (I'm drawing a blank on the name)

Thanks. I knew someone here would know what I'm talking about.
