     out of that list i have tried a semi-hard cheese from ima farms, called "minori"

     and it didn't taste of anything. it was really disappointing. i guess i should try something else before i judge

     @jamesrg Sad to hear.
     Had hoped with the EU Japan EPA that local supermarkets would stock "real" cheese at affordable prices, but seems they're sticking mainly with the rubbery "processed" stuff.
