Cheesemaking Supplies in Japan

[cweinhofer]

I recently moved to Northeast Japan and would like to continue with my hobby of cheesemaking. Does anyone know of places in Japan where the supplies can be ordered?

Googling on "cheese making japan" I found this article http://foodspring.com/content/artisanal-cheesemaking-in-japan/. Apparently there are artisan cheesemakers in Japan. My advise would be to find one of them and inform where they get there stuff. Because a lot of Asians do have some level of lactose intolerance it will not be as common as in the "western" part of the world I suppose...
