Thanks for the suggestion. Glad you had good experiences with them.<BR/><BR/>The allergy information question got some Tengu staff scratching their heads... The information regarding ingredients such as gluten, eggs, dairy is indeed printed in the catalogue. You can download it from the Tengu shop website as a pdf file. Better yet, ask us to send it to you - just call the office.Martin J Fridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537556834410284837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11587256.post-68545721909191767752007-11-04T16:35:00.000+09:002007-11-04T16:35:00.000+09:00Warabe Mura is a great shop!

Frankly Warabe Mura are more hardcore and sincere... Glad you found them!<BR/><BR/>I will definitely pass on your suggestion about listing ingredients.Martin J Fridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537556834410284837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11587256.post-12497712730048544882007-11-04T12:53:00.000+09:002007-11-04T12:53:00.000+09:00I got good organic kaki last week from my local An...I got good organic kaki last week from my local Anew store. There are many branches in most prefectures.<BR/><BR/>http://www.anew.co.jp/stores/<BR/><BR/>I shop at Tengu for things like the soy cheese and flour, but get other things like fresh produce from Anew and the Farmers' Market. <BR/><BR/>I wish you would also add Warabe Mura to the list. They have weekly delivery of a vegetable box if anyone is looking for that. They don't have online shopping but do mail or phone orders (simple English is okay).<BR/><BR/>http://www.warabe.co.jp/english2.html<BR/><BR/>Also I'd like to suggest that Tengu put ingredients and brand names of things on their website, especially if a product contains gluten or dairy. Some of us with allergies need that kind of information before we can make a purchasing decision.(I know some products have websites and I have been hunting through them for the information, but not always with good results.It would save a lot of time and energy if they would put up this info. I think they may have had it in the catalogue before?) Maybe you could pass the suggestion along? :)<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the list! It's very useful!vegetablejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449145190852647832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11587256.post-36163447407720164042007-11-01T07:33:00.000+09:002007-11-01T07:33:00.000+09:00Happy to hear that.

Sharing good food = good neighbors.<BR/><BR/>Tengu foods is an excellent business.
