【英語の練習１】Come to Japan? Go to Kappabashi to get great kitchen utensils!!

According to the Blogger access research, amazingly, there are some viewers from outside Japan!
I didn't expect this. because I'm writing this blog in Japanese and writing only about very domestic things.
But I am very happy with this situation and want to thank those who visit here  even though they can not read Japanese.


I wonder that what makes those guys to watch this diary-like cheep blog??

Accident? Japanese from abroad? Maybe yes.
But I have one thing(actually, many things.) I want to inform you.
In the case you are a serious cock, " Go to Kappabashi to get high quality kitchen utensils, especially, Japanese Knife!"

Do not go to Tokyo Skytree, Kokyo(Tokyo imperial palace),  Tokyo Disneyland, department store and other places some guide books recommend you to go.
Instead, go to kappabashi(sorry, maybe here is also listed in a guidebook).

Kappabashi(Kappabashi dougu street )  is a kind of market for professional cock.
There are lots of shops that sell kitchen utensils such as Japanese knife and they are mainly Japan-made products, high quality, relatively cheep price(don't expect 100yen shop!).
Although these shops are for a pro, but amateurs also can enjoy shopping and on Saturday(on Sunday most shops are closed), many people(mainly Japanese, few tourist from outside japan) come to here.

Already know? Already gone?
NO.
You do not know  "proper" way to walk.
You do not know "right" store to go.
