online japanese sweetshop - marshmallow???

[radecki]

hi,

please help a desperate guy...

My Japanese friend is allergic to chocolate but she loves marshmallow. I've been trying to find japanese marshmallow to buy online but unsucessfully.
Does anyone know an online shop that sells this kind of confectionery?
I live in UK.

thanks!

I've eaten Japanese marshmallows. Is there some difference between Japanese marshmallows and non-Japanese marshmallows that escaped my notice?

[radecki]

yes... the japanese ones are nicely boxed and ...it is also the effort that counts to get them. Ne?

[Mike Cash]

You're way ahead of me; I've only seen them in bags.

Good luck on this.

I'll write some Japanese on a bag of individually wrapped marshmallows for a small fee of course---

ugh - Japanese marshmellows are yucky - they taste like the have aspartame in them. american marshmellows are one of my favorite snacks, and when i lived in Japan for a year i would have my mom send them over.

Japanese marshmellows usually have a flavor to them, or are filled with something gummy. i've had fruit filled ones, and yogurt filled ones, and they really don't compare to Kraft at all.

I did some searching but i couldn't find any stores that send to the UK. they're only $1 in Japan - maybe you know someone there that can hook you up?

marshmallow is mad cow gelatin made from the bones of Mad Cows..
check on the web for vegan marshmallow substitutes

www.cybercandy.co.uk sells sweets from America and Japan as well as other places. I've had those Japanese ones with strawberry cream in the middle and they were horrible!!
