Kappabashi - all Chef's favourite haunt

Tokyo - After my meeting I took the subway to Kappabashi.   From Toyocho station, I took the Tozai line and changed at Nihonbashi station to the Ginza line bound for Ueno station.   It was quite straight forward and Japanese are very helping in pointing the correct directions.

I finally reach Kappabashi after a good 20 minutes of walking from the Ueno station.   It was surreal to find both sides of the street with shops selling every culinary requirement to set up a restaurant.   From kitchen knifes, plates, lacquer ware, notice board, uniform, fake food, etc...

all kitchen stuff

uniform for sale
dinning ware
fake food
'unreal' food
Fake Food sold here..
Fake seafood
The weather was cool and easy on the walk down this long row of shops.   After about an hour of looking around; it was backtrack to the subway bound for the hotel to check out.  I have a red eye flight to catch home.
