I want to make my own pickles. And anyway, if I imported them from Japan I would have to import a container and I certainly can't do that. I just want to make some pickles for myself.
Could someone who speaks japanese do a google search (or similar) for me to see if there are some specialist koji producers in Japan? The Koji will be very lightweight I think so it must be fairly easy to ship me a parcel.
Cheers Chris
