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!

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?

What do you MOST associate with Oita?

Seen as there was a good response to the same question for Ibaraki AND today is Oita Prefecture day (although they don't celebrate it), what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say "Oita Prefecture"? I have written a post about Oita Prefecture day with what I most associate with it, but I won't write it here so as not to influence your answer, but you can read the post here; https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/Mnv34-living_oita
