Kappabashi—Tokyo’s Kitchen Town between Ueno and Asakusa—is a lively strip where shop after shop stocks everything a restaurant could need, from pro knives and cookware to ovens, furniture and the iconic plastic display food. It’s both practical and delightfully quirky: chefs, home cooks and curious travelers can browse specialist stores, find unusual souvenirs, and snap great photos of hyper-realistic food models.
