My wife is Japanese and she is looking for any store that sells her favorite version of these cucumbers. The name is Kyuri No Q-chan. Anyone know any stores that sell them? We live in Spokane Washington and cannot find them here or even in Seattle. If we can find a store that sells them we may be able to call them and have them ship to us. Thanks.

@Lorraine, You could use macro kelp, but the flavor will be different. I haven't tried it, but I'm imagining that you won't get as much flavor from the macro kelp. I would maybe double the amount of macro kelp used. Good luck!

I just tried making some of these but used seaweed as I couldn’t find kombu kelp in our area. Could I use macro kelp instead?

@Roberta, Kombu is dried seaweed, used as a flavoring in many soups and brines. You can get it at your local health food store, but it is usually only available in bulk. I would try Whole Foods because they have such a wide selection of items. I live in Hawaii, so if you come here, try Kokua market and you can get all the kombu you need! Hope it helps.
