Hi Charlotte. Hope the seaweed issue is opening up for you. Yes, I myself have a hard time finding raw nori. I buy the roasted kind in the end, not only due to the difficulty in finding the raw stuff, but also because I live near a Costco and I ca...
Hi Charlotte! You can do it! Re the seaweed Q. The 3 most common I personally use are:

I'm a Canadian university teacher currently living west of Tokyo. I've been living in Japan since 1995. I've been vegetarian since 1989, but I started to eat fish from time to time in Japan as it was so hard to avoid. Now that I am in the big Mikan, there is much more in the way of veggie fare, but there's a lot more junk food here too! I got inspired when I heard from raw friends who had substantially improved their health through diet. I started researching about raw food online, and now I am venturing to transform my daily habits. I've been at least 80% raw (vegan) since early April of 2009, and am feeling fine!
