I need help finding a Japanese snack!

[toto1004]

I'm chinese and my boyfriend is japanese, so between the two of us, we have the asian supermarkets pretty much covered and I can't find this awesome japanese snack anywhere online or in California! It's a package of seasoned scallops seasoned with salt and olive oil. We bought it from a japanese store in Arizona. The distributor is Nishimoto Trading and there is a website on the package that says natori.co.jp Does anyone know where to find this snack or one similar?

Natori is famous for this kind of products in Japan, and I believe Nishimoto Trading is the exporter of their products for the US (at least the snack you mentioned) as they're based in Japan and seem to be specialized in food.
(I'm a bit confused by the print on the package "distributed by", normally Japanese trading company just export the goods and there're usually their counter parts to import them... Or perhaps Nishimoto Trading might have their distribution centre in the US as well to sell the goods to wholesalers or retail shops.)

I found Nishimoto Trading's website in English.
Nishimoto Wismettac Group
How about contacting this company and ask where in the US Natori products are available?

I hope you can get the snack you and your boyfriend enjoy.

Thank you for the information undrentide, I still have received no answer though =( It looks like I might have to travel to arizona to buy the scallops again! Driving 7 hours might be worth the trip though, they are so delicious!
