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

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!

But would you know or remember a shop/s that sells Takoyaki pan?
Thanks.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
