Kappabashi Kitchen Tools Street

Overview

A trip down Kappabashi Street is a remarkable experience, whether you're a professional chef or just the boss of your home kitchen.

At this culinary boulevard and its off-shoot streets lined with approximately 160 kitchenware shops, you can stock up on top-notch knives, lacquerware, kitschy cooking tools and more. How do you know you're in the right place? An 11-metre-tall chef's head towers above the street, complete with a burly moustache and crisp toque.
