KAPPABASHI STREET(かっぱ橋通り)



Kappabashi is the most famous wholesale market of professional cooking equipment located at Tawara-cho near Asakusa. 

The buildings of "Niimi(ニイミ)" are symbols of Kappabashi Street.


These are wholesale markets for professionals but also retailed at many shops. 



You can get Japanese traditional tableware like chopsticks, dish & tray or sample food as a souvenir.
