Cool! I know where Warwick is. Roughly how far north of the bridge between
us is that store? I'd be on the main one leading past the main Naval base.
Warwick as i recall is a north/south roughly road that sorta parallels the
shipyard. Can't recall if it's left or right of the train tracks.

There is a specific Korean sauce I am looking for. I do not have the name
or a sample bottle as i was not allowed to ship food items from Japan
stateside. I used to get several every trip to Korea (on a ship out of
Sasebo, got to Korea 2-3 times a year for 6.5 years). All I can say is it
had no english label, was in a plastic bottle, looked like tomato based but
no dicernable tomato flavor. 'Medium hot by Korean standards'. We used it
to season meats and to make kimchee. Grin, probably not the intended use of
it, but worked great. The shop keepers would normally think I was crazy
when I'd get it (not a typical round-eye product) and try to point me to the
hot-sweet dipping sauces. Now, I like those too, but I could get them in
plenty anywhere. The Korean sauce though, I never found outside Korea.
It's the only thing I didnt find in the VB Asian Grocery but then, I didnt
spend but 1 hour there so may have missed it. It was not in the isle they
pointed me to though.

If you go to your local one fairly often, could you perchance ask if it
sounds familiar?
