【The Next Stop After Senso-ji! Encounter World-Famous Japanese Kitchen Knives and Japanese Handicrafts in 60 Minutes】
Just a short walk from bustling Senso-ji. This is Kappabashi, Japan's largest kitchenware district, supporting professional chefs.
Among the maze-like wholesale streets lined with more than 170 shops, your local friend (guide) will carefully select and take you to shops offering truly high-quality products at excellent value.
This is more than simple shopping interpretation. Through easy, conversational guidance, you will learn about the techniques and history behind Japan's dining culture, including "the difference between pottery and porcelain," "the delicate refraction of light in kiriko (cut glass)," and "the ultimate sharpness of kitchen knives descended from Japanese swords."
After purchasing a kitchen knife, you can experience "katakana engraving," as well as a family-friendly "kappa (yokai) hunt." Children 12 and under are free. Take advantage of the weak yen and smartly choose high-quality tools you can enjoy for a lifetime!
