Cod liver oil capsules available in Japan?

Has anyone ever seen cod liver oil in the stores in Japan? Or, if not, does anyone know what might be the Japanese equivalent? Interested in capsules more than a jar of oil.

Keep your eyes peeled for 肝油ドロップ and 肝油グミ. You might want to ask a pharmacist if they have these. You'll also find either of those forms on Amazon. Japamazon? Jamazon.

In addition to checking Amazon I recommend having a look on iherb.com, which is my go-to for all things supplements. They ship to Japan at a reasonable rate.

I used to take the Kawai brand 肝油ドロップ as a kid. It is a yellow can with a kid's face slapped right on the can. The flav is not bad either!

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
