It used to be that the Foreign Buyers Club was the only store that offered to bring a taste of home to your door in Japan, but we have a few more options these days. First of all, Tsukuba has its fair share of stores that sell foreign foods: La Cave de Yamaya, Grand Plechef, Seibu, etc. And if you can't find what you need locally, you can always order online from one of these stores.
