British Xmas food in Tokyo

So far I’ve only found:

- Foreign Buyers’ Club turkey roast page

- Xmas pudding (small one for over 1000 yen) from Walkers (the shortbread company) in Meidi-ya in the basement of Maru-Biru (the Marunouchi Building) opposite Tokyo station,  Seijo Ishii,  Nissin and to be delivered from Foreign Buyer’s Club. Alternatively, there was a one person (i.e. tiny) microwaveable Tesco Xmas pudding in Tsukameya (owned by Tesco) and I would imagine the larger Tesco stores.

- Walkers 9 mincemeat tarts 945 tarts* and Glenfiddich 6 luxury mince pies 1365 yen* from Nissin

- frozen turkey from 2000 yen in Nissin

- jars of Robertson’s Mincemeat in the same Meidi-ya, in my local Kaldi Coffee Farm , from Nissin and from Foreign Buyer’s Club.

- (tinned, American) S&W cranberry sauce in Daimaru Peacock in Shiba-ura Island, Miura-ya above Iidabashi station, Queens Isetan, from Foreign Buyer’s Club, Nissin and most other import shops

- Walkers rich fruit cake (400g so small, but looks like a Xmas cake without icing) for a rather outrageous 1260 yen from Sony Plaza and in Nissin

- Sugared orange and lemon slices in Tesco

and general stuff for a roast:

- gravy powder in Daimaru Peacock, Queens Isetan, Nissin (Lawry’s turkey gravy)

- Colman’s English mustard in Meidi-ya and Nissin (both jar and powdered)

I’ll post more things as I find them, and please also add your own finds in the comments section.
