Last time I checked, the only way to get it was to collaborate with Kirin. There are now publications on how to make it yourself, if you're so inclined.

A good place to start would be:

Zhou, X. T., D. Forestier, R. D. Goff, C. Li, L. Teyton, A. Bendelac, P. B. Savage. 2002. Synthesis and NKT cell stimulating properties of fluorophore- and biotin-appended 6''-amino-6''-deoxy-galactosylceramides. Org. Lett. 4:1267.

good luck.
