Hope you like it! It really is a must visit for anyone in culinary or just enjoys cooking

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!

Thanks 👍

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.😊

comment even though i stayed up till 8am to catch premier cause i do what i want!

Totally! Love this place

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

Nice , thanks 😊

Hey Drew. Just found you through Tabieats and like your content too. Surprised to see the Beetle. Stupid question but what was sculpture on the building above where the Beetle was parked?

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!

Kappabashi is quite easy to find as it is a very popular street between Ueno and Asakusa. Sorry, but during this filming I really didn't pay attention so much to the store names as wanting to show what is available while leaving some mystery to visiting this area

Thank you and I do understand. I honestly do wish I would of added the info for it but also thank you as I can try to be more and more informative. I have a new vlogging channel, go check out Tokyo Drew Travels and hopefully a better style? Then again, maybe not lol

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 ….🙏🙏

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?

My favorite store in Kappabashi is KAMATA Hakensha - Japanese knife store! Here is the website: www.kap-kam.com

I can confirm kamata is great please for new knife buyer. They are more affordable and they can do special engraving on location. It's actually a fairly old store. If you want the best craftsmen and the price will go up, head up the street towards seisuke for example

So I’ve purchased a 10” (260mm) santoku carbon knife at Kamata in Kappabashi. Thanks for all of your recommendations. Hoping to visit Sakai or Seki in search of the next one 😅
