If you live in Japan, all of the ingredients can be easily found at your nearest grocery store, but if you’re living outside of the country, you may have some difficulty finding things like dashi stock or daikon radish. If you don’t have an international food market in your area, Amazon is a good place to find some of those non-perishable ingredients. Happy cooking!
