Japanese wholesale

taar1 · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hey all!
I'm new here so please be gentle

I'm looking for some Japanese wholesellers for a while now but so far without any luck. Does anyone of you know any addresses where I can buy pharmacy stuff (such as supplements, teas etc.) in larger quantities?

I already asked some manufacturers directly but they wrote me they can't send me any specific addresses "in order to keep fair trades with our customers"

Well anyways, any addresses or websites would be fantastic.
Thanks a lot!

Found this in 5 seconds. You must not have used the appropriate language in your search.

Thanks for the link.
My Japanese is not that good yet so it's difficult for me to find appropriate sites in Japanese.

I contacted a few of the companies listed on that site (waiting for answer at the moment). But I think it's not the kind of traders I am looking for.
I am particularly looking for wholesale companies which sell products from the Japanese company HouseFoods. HouseFoods is making food products as well as some prescription-free products.

Thanks for any further help.

And, I am not being facetious. Costco is a wholesaler that happens to also serve the retail public.

hey that's great. thanks

I will check out the store in shinmisato tomorrow. do I need a membership card to go in there or is it only required if I want to buy something?

You need to be a member to enter. Membership information here: Membership

However, if you have a friend who is a member, you can accompany them as a guest: F.A.Q.

Unfortunately Costco only sells the drink of it. But I am looking for the powder version.

Any other tips where I could find a wholesaler?
