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!

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.
