Pammie I bet you can get Pork Rinds in Japan here is a copy & paste from post I put here before that explains what I mean, just talk to the closest Filipino even if that means someone's maid or.....

For the posters in Japan & anywhere in Asia or the world for that matter.

Filipinos love pork rinds known as Chicarones, same as Spanish word

There are large Filpino overseas communities all over Asia(especially in Japan) & stores to support them. Ask any Filipino around you be it a cook, maid, gardner, nurse,engineer, teacher, executive etc where the closest Filipino grocery is & you'll have a great supply

The community here in Singapore is so big, there are Filipinos making them here & they are fresh & awesome.

Ground up they are really helpful for sustituting as bread crumbs & recipes

& here's my Atkins friendly awesome instant munchie. Reverse Sandwhich's

Roll a slice of meat (pepperoni, ham, turkey pastrami, whatever) around a pork rind & crunch & munch out baby!!

hmm good idea. but I have never met a filipino here... I guess most probably live in Tokyo were they can get work easier....

Pammie I go to the Japanese market here b-cuz they have lots of Atkins compliant great things

Edamame (boiled Soybeans)
Shishamo (Sardine Sized Fish filled w/eggs) & this is very cheap too.
Sashimi!
Miso Paste to make Miso Soup.
