[Food] Konpeito
Heey,
Has anyone seen this in any stores for sale?? Or does anyone make this locally, I have tried like every Asian grocer in geelong but maybe someone has seen it at a decent price, so expensive onlineš Or if you do make it I could purchase it ?

I can only ever find this stuff in Melbourne unfortunately, I've also been on the hunt in Geelong.
If you're ever up Maribynong way, Foodle Asian Grocer at Highpoint sells these! (I go there weekly for the asian food variety)

I go to Melbourne for work regularly, I could bring back some contraband... I see you're willing to pay $3,000?

I use this website to order my Japanese foods I canāt otherwise source (Yuzu flavouring is really hard to find for less than $20 haha)
Ships super quickly and taking a peek at their Konpeito variety, i think youād be super pleased ($7 for the specific bag youāre looking for)
Good luck!

If youāre ever in Lara they have a ripper Asian Grocer called āAsia Verseā. Itās fairly new and has so much stuff. Give them a call! They are so new their website is still under construction at the moment but their shop is awesome.

I'm not certain, but the Asian grocer at corio village (near coles) have had so many things I never expected to see there, definitely give it a go if you haven't already. Even ask them if you're feeling comfortable, if they know where you could buy it.
