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!

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

What do you MOST associate with Ibaraki?

Just for fun - what is the very first thing that comes to mind when I say Ibaraki prefecture? Today, is Ibaraki prefecture day and when I was choosing what photo to use for the feature photo, one place came to mind instantly. I don't want to influence your answer so I won't mention it here, but you can check it out in the article: https://ww2.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/GReVv-living_ibaraki_ushiku_shi_ibaraki

Japanese names you love?

I blogged yesterday about this year's top baby names in Japan, and there was quite a focus on nature and calmness in the most popular picks. I was wondering if there are any Japanese names you love for the meaning behind them. Maybe you have a friend, coworker, or even family member with a beautiful name. I'd be happy to hear what it is, and why you like it so much!

How often do you use chopsticks?

I have just written about "Chopstick Day". The second "Chopstick day" of the year! I am curious; how often do you use chopsticks? For every meal? Once a day? With certain meals only? Occasionally? Never!?
