Easy to find in Hokkaido, albeit mostly imported from New Zealand.
Could just be a matter of consumer preferences? Most people in
Hokkaido don't seem to mind the smell, whereas many in the south seem
to have convinced themselves (without actually trying lamb) that they
won't like it. I can easily buy frozen lamb online for the bar, but
can't find it in any of the local shops, with the exception of the
"Brazilian" ones.
