I have been reading online about stevia, a sweet herb that is used as a sugar substitute, especially in Japan does anyone know where in either Kobe or Osaka to get this stuff?


Thanks in advance,

My mom uses stevia all the time. I find it works really well. I put it in my oatmeal and tea.
Unfortunately, as I am not in Japan yet I don't know where to get it. Have you tried the grocery stores? My mom gets it at Superstore here in Canada. If you cannot find a store that stocks it you may be able to order it.

they used to have a stevia-based soft-drink in japan. for all i know they still do. if you want the powdered stuff, tengu foods might be a good place to try.

Thanks sally cat,

Where is tengu foods? I read that Japan has been using this stuff as a sweetener for about 30 years so I imaging it is quite available somewhere.
