Yes, I've had those.  There was a spate of toddlers choking to death on

I would also recommend trying the Japan Centre on Piccadilly -- it's 
fairly likely that they will have this stuff.  And if you find shirashi 
noodles while you are there, let me know as I could definitely fill mah

in London that serves such a thing...)
