akibun 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 What is baked bean? A kind of 'mame'?? dry? Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 you can get em in that big internatinoal supermarket on the omotesando road in tokyo. i think its called kinokuniya. about 200yen a tin for the mighty heinz (oz import). i saw them in the big mall in yokohama too. you know, near the big multiplex cinema. theres a small supermarket in there.

Markie 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Beans on toast! Yummy. I sometimes even have beans with rice. For some reason, I like eating them cold (out of the fridge) rather than hot. The toast or rice, however, must be hot. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 yep, mame. navy beans I think in a kind of sweat tomato sause. much better than crappy spagetti. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yes Kinokuniya does stock them, but rarely have seen them just stock the plain old traditional baked beans. Why the sausages or the pork fat or the whatever else it is!!! Can't a guy just get a can of plain odl baked beans! BTW, my baked beans cost me NZ$330! (Got stung with excess baggage on anal ANZ ! - Flight to Japan was empty !! Photos to prove it ) Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 if they were whatties then it might just be worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Sometimes I despair of the ability of some people to find basic information on the Net. http://www.heinz-direct.co.uk/ You can order baked beans directly from Heinz. 1 tray of 12 cans will cost you about 45 quid, or 8,500 yen, of which 41 quid is the cost of the transportation.

Ocean11 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 No SKI, I don't. Let us know when you find somewhere that does. And here's a whole row of your favourite gremlin. Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 the cheapest way to do it is buy em for 200 yen if you can find them! Or when you go home get a box of em and send them over separately as unaccompanied baggage. if you send them a week before you come back they will be waiting to be picked up at the airport on your return to japan!

nekobi 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 i'm from the US and i only eat baked beans with hot dogs. i do like them though. do yall add stuff to it when you cook them? i always put in ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, onions, maple syrup, and brown sugar.

bobby12 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 thanks for the link ocean11, but its cheaper to get them from tokyo kinokuniya and carry them. i wish i could get em in nagano, i love them beans. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 bobby, it might be worth asking a decent sized department store in Matsumoto if they would try carrying them. Shops do sometimes respond to requests like that. I'd buy them at 200 yen or thereabouts. But I doubt I'd bother mixing them with ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, onions, maple syrup, and brown sugar though... Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 You could always try here if you don't live in Tokyo. On the topic of baked beans, I am not too partial to people who suceed to burn them It isn't really that hard to cook them! Link to post Share on other sites
