Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Unlucky Quick search online shows a Kaldi in Niigata city 住所： 950-0150 新潟県新潟市江南区下早通柳田1-1-1 イオンモール新潟南 1F Link to post Share on other sites
634-maru 4 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Cool. But that's over an hour drive away from where I live. That doesn't get filed under 'easy to get' in my book. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I was there the other week. I didn't see any Hobnobs and I did look in the biscuit section. I would have bought some if I had! Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Kaldi have some interesting stuff, but it's always so expensive. So even if they have something, it's a toss up whether to pay their prices for it or not. I can't say I have ever seen any Hobnobs in the Niigata or Nagaoka ones. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 An hour's drive is nothing for something to stick in your gob. I'd climb a mountain for a canny bag o' crisps! Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 EON mall has Kaldi its a foreighn import shop. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Cool. But that's over an hour drive away from where I live. That doesn't get filed under 'easy to get' in my book. Sorry, let me just re-arrange Kaldi's stores for you and put one on your doorstep!! I ain't the Yellow pages, you said there wasn't anyplace to get Hobnobs in Niigata and it turns out…..there is! whether its close to you or not, that ain't my problem Its easy to get Hobnobs in the 2 opposite ends of the country that I have lived in……Kaldi is all over Kanto and there are a fair few of them in Sapporo……so I can safely argue that they are easy to get. 10 mins walk from this very seat and I can get a box…..seems pretty easy for me! Have a look out for Jupiter as well…..thats another common international store I've seen in a number of places Link to post Share on other sites
Peetan 10 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think someone must be hobnobbing my hobnobs then, not in any kaldis I've been to in saitama, or yamaya, or hell even costco! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 you'll have to look harder then Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Still, sounds like they are really easy to get on the island of Japan, according to Tubbs. Link to post Share on other sites

But if they don't actually sell Hobnobs, then I'm still Hobnobless aren't I? Link to post Share on other sites
sapporo 8 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Tubbs, where's the nearest Kalbi to Maruyama? I only know the one at Aeon in Soen. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 they are in the AEON supermarkets…..but the Jupiter in Maruyama Class sells Hobnobs if thats what you are after Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 That onion salad dressing they sell at Kaldi is well nice. I think its their own brand. This sauce they sell is also totally killer on burgers and in wraps etc. Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I like that! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Now that COSTCO is here in Japan my list of unobtanium has certainly dwindled some. Nice soft, chunky cottage cheese is one thing I really miss though. I like tangy salad dressing...not real mayo...for sandwiches and I can't seem to find that anywhere. Japanese mayo is icky...!! All in all...I just miss the selection of back home. Edit...Oh Ya..... I miss tools!! Japan is way too novice DIY level for tools. Link to post Share on other sites
