This looks really sweet. Can it be ordered online and if so could you provide the web address?
I don't know where you can order online but if you have a Japanese supermarket somewhere close to you, they will most likely carry them. Also check out "Minamoto kichoan" site. Maybe they have Amanatto. http://www.kitchoan.com/
They have stores in NJ, NY....I don't know if you are familier with Mitsuwa Supermarket? There is a Minamoto Kichoan store in NJ location.
