I got you. There's two Japanese convenience stores in Port Washington. One's called Nara and the other's called Shin Nippon-Do. Look them up inGoogle.

my homie brought these over from Japan like 10 years ago and I was crazy about them. I saw them in 7-Eleven one day and went bonkers. I fuggs wit some green hichew. I went through a whole box at 7-11 over a few days, by myself, the lady said they should put a cap on how many i can buy a day.
