What people say

"Situated between Ueno and Asakusa, Kappabashi Street isn't just a food destination; it's a haven for culinary enthusiasts. While dedicated to the restaurant industry, the real allure lies in its array of restaurant supply stores, a chef's dream come true. Renowned for sampuru—meticulously crafted replicas of food dishes, this century-old craft takes center stage. Beyond its tourist-centric appeal, Kappabashi Street caters to the trade, offering somewhat economical prices. For those with curious cooks in the family, this district becomes a souvenir haven, brimming with unique and practical finds."

"From Japanese fake food, kitchen knives, utensils, plates, and more this popular shopping street is worth the visit if even just to window shop. If you’re wondering what those dopey looking turtle-frog-dinosaur statues are located around this area, they’re Kappas. The kappa is a Japanese water demon from the days of folklore, who would lure people in ponds and lakes and drown them 😳😱 Nowadays the kappa is often depicted as a cute turtle or frog with a lily pad on their heads, and their dark folklore history is usually left out. "
"If you are passionate about kitchen stuff or you want to buy a Japanese Knife, this is the perfect area for you. You can find shops with very particular pottery, all different from each other, and also bigger shops with stock of the same style. I preferred to buy my cups, bowls and stuff, where everything was different from each other as it felt more unique and the price was also much more affordable. Bring cash as a lot of these small shops don't have a card reader. "
