KAPPABASHI 'Tokyo's Kitchen Alley' A CHEF'S DREAM STREET

KAPPABASHI "Tokyo's Kitchen Alley "A CHEF'S DREAM STREET"
Kappabashi-dori, also known just as Kappabashi or Kitchen Town, is a street in Tokyo between Ueno and Asakusa which is almost entirely populated with shops supplying the restaurant trade. These shops sell everything from knives and other kitchen utensils, mass-produced crockery, restaurant furniture, ovens, and decorations, through to esoteric items such as "fake food" or "food sample" stores as well.

oh my god! Im so glad you made this video! I had no idea this place existed. Im in culinary school rn and now HAVE to visit this area when I go to Japan! Keep up the awesome content!

[lynnsenger]

I would have a field day on that street! Hubby would have to drag me out of there by my feet. Loved the video, Drew!

[shannondore]

I would totally go broke not only from all the kitchen stuff but from all the cool stuff in that junk store you showed at the end. That's my kinda place. That reminded me of an old antique store here that I love to go to.
As for all the kitchen stuff, I'm a bit weird.... I don't like to cook (even though I dabble) but I love kitchen gadgets and cook books and have quite the collection at home. I'd love to check this area out if I ever make it to Japan someday. Thanks for the tour.😊

Tokyo Kitchen Alley looks so cool! Everything a chef or foodie could possibly want! Awesome vlog, Drew! 😃😎

That very long knife is for sacrificing foods to the gods; that way the priest can sacrifice the food with only chopsticks and this knife so his hands don't dirty the food

Especially love the ceramic and table ware shops! It would help if u told the name of those shops so I can find everyone when I am there soon.

Surprised to see the Beetle. Stupid question but what was sculpture on the building above where the Beetle was parked?

Love your video! Is there a similar street to buy lanterns, carp wind socks and wooden sandals?

[gretchenwenrich]

So what kind of knife is it? I'm thinking something to use with big fish lol.

[tnjamilla]

Hi I’m thinking that knife you pointed out is probably used to cut blue fin fish or maybe Salmon?? That’s just a guess… thanks for sharing ….🙏🙏

[FurbabyMother]

Love the ceramic and dinnerware shops. Would be great if u included the store name and street it is located on. I will be in Japan in early March. I want to go into every store that sell these! And I will if I can find them!

[RuniSam]

What day of the week did u go and the time ?

[carloalison]

Hi! Do you have any knife shop recommendation?

[malvinamashkit]

как называется магазин с искусственными блюдами, там где свинья в витрине?

[diannebayley]

I'm looking for an online store (until I can get to Tokyo!) to buy the small cooking goods used in tiny campervans - single plate induction stove, small plug-in pots etc. Any advice, please?
