The Flying Pig

No, online store doesn’t specialize in pork-related delivery, much less flying ones. It is so named because getting reasonably-priced imported groceries and goods used to be as impossible as an airborne hog! But now, TFP offers Costco Wholesale prices at a markup of within 20%, which still keeps prices competitive. So if heading to a Costco warehouse in the neighboring prefectures doesn’t sound like your idea of weekend outing, check out the wide range of imported food, snacks and general merchandise from the comfort of your desk. Be it from wholegrain Cheerios to Best Food’s Mayonnaise or ranch dressing to fresh bagels and everything you need to whip up a Tex Mex meal, TFP has it. Just shop at the site and pay at the nearest bank or post office and you will get your order in a few days.

For your summer barbecue, delight your guests with their “one pounder ridiculous burger” set that comes with burger buns (because the regular burger bun won’t cover it), and other burger patties from lamb to crocodile and even camel.
