Does anybody know where I could find culture for making cheese? Like mesophilic cheese culture? Asides from ordering from abroad. Rennet I can get, I can make my own ricotta, sure, but cheese culture, can’t seem to find it anywhere, in stores or online. I see some for making yogurt often; Nissin, Seijo-Ishi, so any help from the community would be most welcome 🙏.
Oh! I live in Tokyo for on site stores, but posting on r/Japan as I assume I can have it mail from any prefecture, if I can find a place that sells it.

…. It totally depends on what kinda of cheese you are talking about here bruv…
Some types of cultures are not sold at all – because they are seen as “Trade mark” level, other types require a specific bacteria to cultivate, hence would be very hard to simply buy.
… Long story short – what kind of cheese do you want to make???
This [how-to](https://www.tambacheese.com/sutata/) has a lead, but it sounds like you have to contact them directly and work it out.
