Default Shirataki noodles in the Victoria BC Area?

Hello all, any idea where we can buy these noodles in the Vic area? I am still pretty new here and not sure of where everything is!

They are at Thrifty Foods in the Ethnic food aisle...above the Ramen and Udon noodles.

Fairway market also sells them...as well as the Tofu ones.

Stephanie, which Thrifty's? I usually shop the Hillside Mall branch and I've looked but not found them (doesn't mean they're not there!). I might need you to hold my hand and lead me to them

There's also a small Japanese store next to the "Market on Yates" (closer to Quadra enter from the Market parking lot).

I usually shop at Fairfield...but next time I am at Hillside I'll go have a peek.

...and Fujiya, high Shelbourne near Cedar Hill X Road. Best source for the plain Shirataki/Konnyaku.

The Fairways headquarters store at Quadra near Hillside has both the Tofu Shirataki and the plain (in the "knots" and just loose, spaghetti size).

Used to find them in Chinatown, but haven't lately.

Have never seen them in Thrifty's at Colwood Corners (Western Communities). Steph, the Fairfield store has them by the Ramen (dry) and Udon (dry) noodles? On a shelf? I know they are shelf stable, but most stores have them in the refrigerated section, by stuff like KimChee and WonTon Wrappers (because there's liquid in the package)...odd.

What part of town are you in, Leanna? Maybe we can help with your shopping some more...

Yes...just on a shelf in their squishy little packages....They have the kind with seaweed added as well.

Wow, Leanne! That's a fun commute - NOT!!!! My DD's MIL used to live in Sooke and work at Stelly's school - that was bad enough!

We used to live very near UVIC - at Finnerty and Edgelow - super area, that's when I shopped at Pepper's which, at that time, was probably the best service at any grocer's in greater Victoria! Make a request - they'd try to bring it in to see how it would sell and they never asked if you needed help to your car - it was automatic! I loved it!!!

Cool, you go very near the Fujiya pretty much every day! Should check out their karaage chicken bits -- in their "takeaway" lunch section, still warm -- if you're feeling decadent...
