Myrtis,
Not sure in your neck of the woods... but I'm seeing it more and more in most grocery stores in the Asian sections, usually on the bottom shelf near the floor! Pop into Harris Teeter/Kroger/Lowe's in RM and you'll probably find some. I love the stuff and use it for bread crumbs in many recipes... I love coating my crab cakes with Panko... anything you want to be more "crispy," use Panko. It keeps forever and is cheap, so when you find some, get a couple of bags. If you're ever around a World Market (Triangle Town Center), I get it there too.
Lots of places to order online too...
