I've run out of Sakura Denbu for months! It's been out of stock at all the Jusco outlets!! Yeah! I've gone on a rampage search everywhere and today when I was at Mid Valley, the staff at Jusco informed me that they have stopped ordering this.
*Sigh, faints slightly* I love this because it gives the sushi a nice sweet flavor besides making it look good. I'm not giving up yet. Still searching!!

rei: Sure! I'm honored!
Hi:
Not sure if you have found sakura denbu but i saw it at The Garden at one of the shops that sell Japanese food (can't remember the shop name) last Saturday. Same floor at Cold Storage.
I am interested in making bento but it seems to me that it's not easy to get the accessories locally unless you order online. Went to the 100 yen @SS2 yesterday, to my disappointment, i couldnt get a single accessory at all
Angeline: Thanks for the info. I've managed to get my Sakura Denbu stock from my regular Japanese restaurant, so for now the 'crisis' is over. I know which shop you're referring to. They have opened one in 1U opposite to Burger King. Unfortunately the Sakura Denbu isn't the regular brand I buy and the color is very dull. Doesn't look good!!
There a few nice two layer bento boxes in SS2 which I saw two days ago. I was tempted to buy them but didn't because my cupboards are overflowing! The problem with 100 Yen shop is you really need to search for bento stuff. I saw food dividers, food cups and some other bento stuff. I spend a long time browsing and often I find stuff that are very useful and most times 'hidden'.
Check out the one in Puchong. Haven't been there for a while though.
