Kappabashi – or food street

IMG_3562July 23rd, 2016

This was a stop on the tour and time got away from us and we chose to skip this knowing to come back to it during my free day.  This was a restaurant supply food street.  Uniforms, equipment, gadgets and fake food.  It was all there.  If you needed a gadget to separate egg whites with the yolk, you could find it there.   I bought nothing, I have collected enough kitchen gadgets over the years to fill my kitchen drawers.

I am a sucker for these kind of shops, although I bought nothing, I had a good time going through them.  I have to admit, the fake food looked really good and almost real.  I kept wondering, if I bought that, what was I going to do with it?   Fool some people to think it is real?  Not my thing.

We went to one coffee shop that bought green coffee beans and roasted them to the level you wanted them too.  It smelled so good in the shop.  One of the coffees they specialized in was the coffee from Vietnam where an animal ate the bean and then excreted it out. Those beans are considered the finest and make the finest coffee.    I passed!
