I really don't know why I'm having this thought, but...
Why is it that one never sees Japanese cheese, even in the most worldly cheese-counter? Even if there's some kind of dairy importation law, that wouldn't stop it - lots of cheeses of a particular ethnic style (e.g. feta, mozzarella...) are made right here in CA. Do the Japanese just not have much dairy in their culinary history?
