Dear Graham,

Did you get the pepper from Mr. Kurata? And if so, did he also manage to include the kampot pepper???
Last November I went to Kampot and bought a pound of this wonderful black pepper..but running out of it as my friends getting the taste for it and come for refills for their peppermills Looking everywhere to buy a replenishment but no luck sofar.
Really thinking of starting importing this terrific pepper to the Netherlands; the restaurant-chefs I have given a little (!) trial are very enthousiastic….At least would love to get the pepper into my own kitchen

I’ll definitely have to drop by the Kurata Pepper office now to demand some commission. I love it when a plan comes together.

Just to let you know that I’m now in contact with Mr Kurata and he’s agreed to send me soem of his finest pepper (black, white and red). I can’t wait. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Phil

Thanks for your speedy reply. I’ve looked everywhere and can find nothing. I managed to get an email address of Mr Kurata’s web site, so have tried to email him. If you can find anything else out for me I’d love to hear from you.

My email address is streetparade2000@yahoo.co.uk

Many thanks and cheers

The only reliable online Kampot pepper guy that I know about is Mr. Kurata of Kurata Pepper (http://www.kuratapepper.com. He also blogs at http://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/ksline/). The only problem is that both sites are entirely in Japanese. I’ll drop by his Phnom Penh office and find out if there are any other options. Surely there has to be a French site sells meric, but I can’t seem to find it by searching for “poivre du Kampot” or “poivre du Cambodge”.

Hi Phil

Can you tell me where I can get hold of Kampot pepper online? Or do you know of a Cambodian supplier? I’m in the UK and it’s impossible to get hold of. I bought a small amount of pepper back from Cambodia 18 months ago but its now long gone. Would love to replenish my stock.

Cheers
