Hello.

I live in Bruges and am looking for 3 products typical to Japan and cannot find them anywhere.

I have been to Kam-Yuen Supermarket in Brussels , Chow Chun Supermarket in Ostend. But alas. I haven't tried the sun wah in Antwerp though. I would need to be sure to find any of these before going.

The products I am looking for are:

Fresh green Shiso leaves for use in tempura.

Sesame oil suitable for high heat cooking , ie tempura (the type that's not made from roasted sesame seeds). If this is unavailable , please tell me what a good substitute could be.

Fresh Wasabia Japonica root.

Thank you in advance for any reply.
