Fácilmente el lugar más grande en la tierra para comprar equipo y utensilios de cocina para restaurantes, esta larga calle en el distrito de Asakusa, en Tokio, me mantuvo ocupado todo un día.
Página1  2  

Una combinación curiosa - carbón de primera para restaurantes de yakitori y un muy impresionante mortero con su mano de madera para machacar arroz y hacer paseteles mochi.  Nada cómodo para el avión.

Una tienda que vende cuchillería con un propietario que habla inglés.  Le compré un enorme cuchillo para tallarines soba.

 

Todo tipo de letreros para restaurantes de todos los gustos.

No estoy muy seguro del tipo de platillos que muchos de los equipos producen.  Pero los japoneses son grandes entusiastas de la cultura culinaria europea y vi algunos de los equipos de cocina de mayor calidad que se usan en las cocinas europeas:

Un muy completo surtido de equipos profesionales de alta calidad para repostería francesa.  ¡Checa los cuencos de cobre para batir claras de huevo y la máquina suiza para templar chocolate (arriba a la derecha)!

Esta tienda en particular tenía incluso una pared llena de moldes de barro para kougelhopf que no pude encontrar en ningún lado en Paris.

Otra tienda vendía cientos de cortadores de galletas - a esos japoneses sí que les gusta la pastelería europea.  Haz click en la imagen para agrandarla enlarge - muy impresionante.

 

Una de varias tiendas que ofrece los omnipresentes modelos de plástico de platillos japoneses que normalmente ves en los aparadores de los restaurantes japoneses.  De las favoritas de los turistas.  Compré una plato de plástico de tallarines fritos para usar como utilería al fotografiar comida.

Paris' Oldest Kitchen Equipment Shop *
It took me several visits to the mythical 200-year-old professional kitchenware shop Dehillerin in Paris before they agreed to sell me the knife I wanted. A unique gastronomic pilgrimage destination if you can swallow the attitude.

I have read some of your articles today and I have to say they are great!!! I specially liked this one,and I loved the pictures (an image says more than 1000 words!). Coming from such a different culture than the Japanese, I find it fascinating.

Indeed pictures of a market give a much better idea of what's there than words. The light was quite good on that day and it helped! Hope you get to visit this intriguing market one day.

Shannon, I don't remember the name of the knife shop, but when you come from the river, stay on the side of the Kappabashi Dori street closest to the river and turn right, after a couple blocks you'll see a sign in English that says 'Knives', then turn right and the shop is right around the corner.

Bonjour,  Francois-Xavier!  Firstly, a huge CONGRATULATIONS on your website, I'm truly impressed!! (and it takes a lot to impress me..). I feel so lucky to have discovered it, and am really looking forward to exploring it further, it's genuinely inspiring!  You should be very proud!

like your website, I discovered Kappabashi essentially by good luck when in Tokyo a few months ago, and was SO pleased I did -  a Boulevarde of Heaven for Cooks!!  I only had an hour or two to explore,  and your photos have made me determined to go back there and explore more thoroughly. Good job, thanks for these!

Did you visit Kyoto? If you ever go there, you MUST visit Nishiki food market in central Kyoto. It almost makes me cry (with joy!) to remember it, such a range of fresh, superb quality produce, all so beautifully presented. My partner loved it so much she rated it one of our "Top Five Best" food experiences in Japan -  given the Japanese peoples' respect and skill in all matters culinary, that's a high compliment indeed!  And a compliment I echo!!

Kindest regards    
  • FX's answer→ Bruce, thanks for your kind words! Yes of course I visited Nishik market three times, you can see my long article about it by clicking on Japan in the keywords list of this here article. Great place too, I actually slept in a ryokan in the market!

Thank you for posting the pictures.  I have been to Tokyo numerous times and heard of the street but never had the opportunity to visit.  Next time I go I will.

Thank you for your site. The pictures give me lovely memories. We spent an afternoon truly amazed at the variety of culinary items but did not allow enough time to see more than one-quarter of what was there. It is so easy to spend so much. Thanks you again.
Great article and photos. I had been to Kappabashi a couple of years ago, but was not alone and rushed through. I will be in Tokyo next week, and intend to repeat my visit at leisure. Your article has encouraged me to do so.

I was so impressed by the Swiss chocolate tempering machine. I have found tempering chocolate a difficult, time consuming task. So naturally the Swiss have a solution...
  • FX's answer→ This is the best place to buy cookware in the whole world bar none!

Love your article and big help for me.
But would you know or remember a shop/s that sells Takoyaki pan?
Thanks.
  • FX's answer→ No worry Bernadette, every other shop in Kappabashi-Dori sells all sorts of Takoyaki pans. Finding one there is about as hard as locating a Starbucks Coffee in Brooklyn!

Can I buy Japanese china bowls from Kappabashi-Dori over the internet and have them shipped to the UK?
