help a cheese fiend out tia

Answer:


Some Japanese love cheese. Japan does not have a history of cheese making or cooking with cheese, that's why you don't see it in supermarkets. For the same reason I don't express surprise at the dearth of Battenberg cake and Christmas pudding in Japanese supermarkets. It is naive to expect another country and culture to mirror your own.
If you want proper cheese and not that plastic crap they sell in the supermarkets you can easily find imported cheese in the food hall of a department store. It'll cost you though.
