As I said a day or so ago, I did find it at Wegmans...  With spices in
the Asian section, specifically the Japanese part...  We don't have a
TJ's here (I presume that's Trader Joe's?)... I was in one once, when we
were out in Arizona visiting our son who lived out there then.

 CS> Be thinking a jar the size of a calumet baking powder tin.  Thats the

 CS> others such as china lately, if you even see it from China).  Japan

That's what I found, a jar about the size of the Calumet... And very
clearly marked as "wasabi fumi furikake", with the rest in English. 
Well, most of the rest... there were Asian characters on it too...  :)

Interestingly, after I got it home and looked more closely, it said that
it was a product of China.  Hmmm...  Should I return it to Wegmans?

Yes, I had heard that.
