    Hi, I have the kabocha squash I got from Japan while I was there last year. Is this what you are looking for?

    I am very familiar with kabocha, I am growing what was labelled as kabocha now but it isn't a true one, I think it is actually just a buttercup squash as the blossom end is different and the vine end is more squared on the shoulders. I lived in Japan mostly for the last 16 years. Besides Japan I was also living part time in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, India, and Hong Kong but have visited every country in Asia multiple times. If there are any Asian vegetable seeds you are trying to track down let me know, I can always ask my friends who visit me to bring them or my ex-wife (she is in Japan) to send me them it just may take sometime to get the seeds. I just received very good soybean seeds (edamame type) from her as well as Chingensai (a Japanese variety of bok choy) and Horenso (a Japanese variety of spinach). Also if it is of assistance I speak, read and write in Japanese.

    Can you send me your list and I will let you know all the items I am interested in, I have more I need to add to mine as well this week once I finish drying more and get more of the bulk seeds I ordered in. What part of NJ are you in? I grew up on LI and in NYC but spent time in Jersey with my friends who lived there. I now live in upstate NY.

    Gregory, very impressive! I am a transplant from Hong Kong. I go to HK time to time to visit family. I purchase seeds from this wholesaler in Central, near the Macau ferry terminal. I will put a list together for you later. Stay tuned.

    I love Hong Kong I still have an IT company there. HK was my favorite city actually in Asia and I loved the outer islands. I was there off and on a lot. I had a place in mid-levels but I was always in new territories and on the islands. I am American but I actually avoided hanging out with expats there as I am totally not the banker type at all. I used to always visit Macau as well so I am familiar with where you are talking about. I remember there was a good hydroponic shop near them that was well stocked with seeds that I would sometimes bring back to Japan with me to grow. In Japan I have a house (my ex has it now) in Yokohama. I had a greenhouse on the roof deck and a large garden in the yard. How long have you been in the States?
