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?

My brother's wife is Asian (Chinese)... and she had to really be weened onto the taste of cheese. *Now* she likes it...

Some Asians apparantly are lactose intolerant which doesn't help things, but I think it is more of a cultural thing. Cheese is relatively new in the Japanese culture. It's like sushi. Some people will never get used to that.
