Kappabashi-dōri, Restaurant supply street in Taitō-ku, Japan.
Kappabashi-dori extends for several blocks, featuring over 170 specialized stores selling professional kitchen equipment, utensils, and tableware for restaurants and homes.
The street emerged in the early 1900s when merchants began selling kitchenware, evolving into Tokyo's primary destination for restaurant equipment and supplies.
Each shop preserves traditional Japanese craftsmanship through the sale of specialized cooking tools, from handcrafted knives to traditional ceramic dishes.
The street opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with easy access from Tawaramachi Station on the Ginza Line, located between Ueno and Asakusa.
Numerous stores display plastic food replicas, which restaurants across Japan use to showcase their menu items in window displays.
