I hadn't heard of Gyomu Super before but will definitely give them a try. At the risk of coming across as shameless self-promotion, I wrote a similar entry a while back about discount wholesalers Hanamasa you might be interested in looking at: <a href="http://madtokyo.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/578/" rel="nofollow">http://madtokyo.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/578/</a><br><br>And the red peppers you mentioned are probably taka-no-tsume (たかの爪). I usually get the big bags of dried whole togarashi from Hanamasa, break them up by hand and toss them into whatever I'm cooking. Excellent post.
