In the US shirataki noodles are at every Asian ethnic store not just the
specfically Japanese ones, and they sometimes appear near the tofu in
regular grocery stores. If there's a Chinatown district anywhere near
you there will be at least one ethnic grocery that has them, and maybe
some regular grocery.
