Today, I joined a culinary adventure tour organised by Nippon Go! They took us to the famous Kappabashi district in Tawaramachi, where you can find everything from tableware and cooking pots to restaurant signs and fake food made of resin for restaurant displays. It used to be a place where only restaurants and professionals used to get their supplies but it’s now hugely popular with regular people, both locals and visitors.
Today, our tour organisers took us to various shops starting with a lovely traditional tableware and pottery shop.
Then, we stopped in one of the shops where they sell fake food. It’s crazy how real the food looks. I’ve been living in Japan quite a while now, and I am still amazed by those!
Even the beer looks real!
And the craziest food. I mean, is there a restaurant in Tokyo that sells such burgers?
After the plastic-made food shop, we went to a few shops where you can find all sorts of kitchen utensils. Impressive, really!
Finally, we had lunch in a famous okonomiyaki place. It was an old wooden house serving superb okonomiyaki of all sorts!
After, the delicious dinner, we did a workshop, where we made a tie dye handkerchief! It was fun but I wasn’t really good at it though…
At the end of the day, I unpacked my bag and was delighted with my purchases!
