Jalapeño or Serrano chilies?

Anyone had any luck sourcing them here? If so... where (online or physical store)?

Tried growing your own?

Canned chiles are available from FBC in Kobe (but their mark-up is high and I refuse to fund their cult-ish Focus on the [color="Silver"]buttfuck[/color]Family agenda).

Not always, but frequently discount/wholesale food store Hanamasa carries fresh and canned chiles. If you're adventurous give the closest store a call. (GomiGirl shops at Hanamasa for her business and she might take a look for you.) http://www.hanamasa.co.jp/

Sadly, Costco does not carry many Mexicanitems.

The FBC prices don't seems that bad. What's the Family agenda though?

I've never seen Jalapenos or serano chilies at a Hanamasa. Only raw Thai Chilies. I saw jarred Jalapenos at a Khaldi Coffee one time though.

Thanks guys. Interestingly enough they didn't list them on amazon.jp that I could see .... also my local supermarket carries a lot of the casa fiesta range but not the whole chillies... hmmm ....

Kaldi had totally slipped my mind I did find jarred ones - hmmm I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and give up on finding any fresh.

If you ever do find raw ones, please let me know!

Next year, I will plant enough for more than three households and post here in FG when the peppers are coming mature. I figure the 1st crop will mature late June 2010 (peppers grow well on a fallow piece of land I own that's rather sandy and a bit too hot for most Japanese crops).

If you can stop by Ohio, I have two plants of serrano that are putting out peppers like a mexican chef is torturing them.
