Thai Sauce in Japan?

I am in Tokyo but I don't know where I can find some Thai sauce for a dish. Not fish sauce but like a marinade. In the states several companies including some imports can be found at major supermarkets on the east coast. Anyone know where in Tokyo? I live near Gotanda.

<BR>Have you tried the international supermarkets?<BR><a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.bento.com/rev/0521.html">National Azabu</a> in Hiro-o probably would have a better selection than <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.bento.com/rev/1569.html">Nissin</a> <BR><BR>If I were looking for Thai Sauce I would probably go to Ameyoko<BR>to a basement level market where they sell quite a lot of SE Asian/<BR>Chinese ingredients.<BR><BR>IF you walk out the southern end of Ueno station (Iriya exit?) Tokyo<BR>end anyway - and walk down towards Okachimachi along side the<BR>railway line. The road forks take the branch closest to the railway tracks.<BR>Not far after the fork - at a very rough gues within 20 m) there is a building <BR>on the RHS with stairs going down. It has from memory the kanji for<BR>shokuhin �H•i and an arrow pointing down. They have some Thai<BR>herbs there too - depends on the day what they have.<BR><BR>It's a good place to buy cuts of meat of parts of animals you never <BR>wanted to know exist..... If you're keen to make duck gizzard and<BR>congealed blood soup, I think no problem with getting ingredients here!<BR><BR>On the otherhand if you are vegetarian, enter from the southern end<BR>and exit the same way without doing a full circle of the market.

sometimes your local thai restaurant will also sell a limited number of products, such as sauces. otherwise they might know where you can buy it.

Thanx..I found some instant curries in Kamata at a small shop. Not my first choice, but they were good. Green/Yellow. People ate em, liked em.

But Tokyo girl thanx for the info. I am not a big shopper but I want to see those markets you linked. Thanks a bunch!!!!

Kaldi <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.kaldi.co.jp/store/index.html">http://www.kaldi.co.jp/store/index.html</a> also can have some good stuff.<BR>Maybe that's where you went?<BR><BR>Near Takadanobaba station - cross over Waseda? dori (from the Waseda exit of JR)<BR>in the direction of Mejiro, and inside the yamanote line (as opposed to the outside)<BR>there are a few Burmese food places which might have suitable stuff.<BR><BR>

My local Seiyu supermarket has Thai sweet chili sauce (imported from Thailand) in the Chinese food section.
