Kappabashi Plastic Food Paradise

        posted by John Spacey, Japan Talk, April 15, 2012

Kappabashi is what the world would be like if all food was plastic. You know all those plastic food models in the displays windows of Japanese restaurants? They all come from Kappabashi.

Kappabashi is a street that runs between Ueno and Asakusa in Tokyo. It's worth a visit if you like off-beat window shopping. The street is very photogenic as well.

Shops here sell a wide variety of kitchen supplies targeted at restaurants. The prices are a little high.

The name of Kappabashi has nothing to do with the Japanese Kappa monster but they play up the association anyway.

こんちは。This is the abbreviation of こんにちは。 Well, nobody may use this greeting any more I think.... By the way, I just graduated from a community college and am about to transfer. I personally think that I need to improve my English skills as much as possible until I get in university. If you are interested in Japan or anything related to Japan, just give me a message so that we can exchange language and some sort of stuff like hobbies, cultural things or history, and so on. I finally got released from college work, having a plenty of my free time on my vacation. I am now trying new things such as cooking and collecting the info for Japanese fashion style since I am planning to be a buyer as a part time job. Oh, I just participated in a meet up group which is organized with Japanese and Americans who are enthusiastic about Japan and met one American geek who loves Japanese comedy. I think people have to be comprehensive in the language and culture in order to understand the comedy in different countries. I want to aver that if you understand Japanese and its culture, Japanese comedy will ever come over your world that you have not experienced. Let's have a fun.
