I want to make food for them that is considered staple in the states, and I was wondering what kinds of grocery items are harder to come by in Japan. I figured this could be a nice change of pace breakfast/dinner-wise as well as offsetting my homesickness for lowbrow Western food after a month or so.
I am already thinking about peanut butter (for pb&j) and velveeta cheese (to make macaroni). I don't want to take too much, though, so I need small packages, meaning no cereal boxes...
Anybody living in Japan who misses a particular food item?

Bring the Velveeta Mac And Cheese, that's something you aren't going to find here. Oh how I miss it
