[The Perfect Post-Senso-ji Stop! Discover World-Famous Japanese Knives & Craftsmanship in 60 Minutes]
Just a short walk from the bustling Senso-ji Temple lies Kappabashi, Japan's largest kitchenware district supporting professional chefs.
From a maze of over 170 wholesale stores, your local friend (guide) will carefully select and escort you to only the truly high-quality, best-value shops.
This is not just a shopping interpretation service. You'll enjoy an interactive learning experience about the technology and history behind the Japanese dining table, such as the difference between clay (earthenware) and stone (porcelain), the delicate light reflections of Kiriko cut glass, and the ultimate sharpness of Japanese knives inherited from samurai swords.
We also offer a "Katakana name engraving" experience for purchased knives, and a "Kappa (Yokai) hunting mission" for families, with kids 12 and under joining for free. Take advantage of the weak yen and smartly find lifelong tools you'll cherish forever!
