I have searched for umeboshi vinegar/paste&algae/seaweeds, (pumpkin seed oil, special sorts of rice too) since I came to Oxford, but couldn't find the store with this kind of products.
I really need them. I went to Holland&Barret, but they don't have these things, selection is really poor. My mother doesn't trust me when I say to her there is no real macrobiotic store in a town like Oxford.
Please help! :)

Hmmm, having said that I've just thought - the Chinese supermarket on Hythe Bridge Street does have a few Japanese food items, have you looked in there?

Have you tried Uhuru on the Cowley Road? They definitely have things like spirulina. It might also be worth trying Jing Jing (opposite Red Star, also on the Cowley Road): they have all sorts of interesting oils. Eastern Continental Stores (Cowley Road again! Corner of Crown Street) are really, really helpful and will usually order stuff in for you if they don't have it that day. Good luck!

I've seen Umeboshi paste and algae seaweed(nori) in either Sainsbury or TESCO near Rosehill. Hope that is what is looking for...

Oh dear : ( Oxford is really a very small city, and unfortunately it just doesn't have the sort of shop you are looking for I'm afraid...

The nearest such shops would be in London I expect - but at least that's only an hour away on the train. Or shop online, of course.
