Where can  I buy a alternative meal, named 'Quorn', on internet in Japan?

Dear ala_essa,     
     According to the Quorn Foods Limited website, Quorn products are not 
currently available in Japan. The Company is based in the UK with all of the 
listed distributors located in Europe or the U.S. You can contact the company 
via the on-line contact form on their website at, 
http://www.marlowfoods.com/uk/ficontac.htm.

Thank you for your research.
I wish, if possible, I could buy the Quorn foods via retailer except getting touch with manufacturers/distributors such as Marlowfoods or something like that.

Dear ala_essa,

Thank you for your clarification.  Because Quorn is a trademarked item the 
available suppliers and delivery services are very limited.  This is 
particularly true for countries, like Japan, where Quorn is not distributed.  
Quorn is only distributed by select outlets as outlined on the Marlow Foods 
website,


http://www.marlowfoods.com/uk/fiavail.htm.  


Some of the outlets listed under the U.K. site, which has the most accessible 
Quorn suppliers, have on-line shopping capability. Unfortunately, these stores 
only deliver within the U.K.  A list of those suppliers is as follows:

Waitrose.com – “currently operating in a limited area”

/init.d2w/report

http://www.waitrosedeliver.com/webapp/commerce/servlet/waitrose/jsp/product_fs.j
sp?merchant_rn=2071&branch_rn=0.

Sainsbury

Tesco

Iceland

If you have access to a U.K. mailing address, you could order from one of the 
above retailers and ship the order from that mailing address to your address in 
Japan.  It is a lengthy process, however, given the very limited distribution 
of the Quorn product it is probably your best alternative.

I researched the Missing Britain website, 

http://www.missingbritain.com/wholesale.htm

as mentioned in one of the comments, however, they do not list Quorn as one of 
their available products.

I also researched the Japan Vegetarian Society website,


http://www.jpvs.org/ep/index.html ,

but I was unable to find any information on purchasing Quorn online for 
delivery in Japan.  If you would like to contact them directly please visit,

http://www.ivu.org/members/council/contacts.html .


I hope this clarification provides you with more useful information for your 
search.  Good Luck!

Thank you,

Thank you so much! He is exactly the person who will be able to
address any questions!

Extremely difficult search. I have, however, found a company that may be able 
to deliver you what you want (but on a wholesale basis)
http://www.missingbritain.com/wholesale.htm

Additionally, by contacting quality stores like Harrod's 
(http://www.harrods.com/), or Fortnum & Mason 
(http://www.fortnumandmason.co.uk/) you may be able to have them deliver (for a 
price, as this is not part of their "standard" range).

Hope this helps.

Not a direct answer, I'm afraid, but Japan DOES have a Vegetarian Society 
(website thoughtfully provided in both English AND Japanese):

http://www.jpvs.org/ep/index.html

It occurs to me that they would know, if anyone would, where Quorn products can 
be obtained in Japan.

Might be worth contacting them?  (Contact details are listed on the site).

The most simple answer I think is ask the company if they have retailers in 
Japan. They have a contact form on their website
