Document 72 Hours - Season 7 Episode 2 Tokyo Kappabashi: Food Tool District
The stage is set in the “tool town” in Kappabashi, downtown Tokyo. It is a specialty store district that offers everything from Japanese, Western, and Chinese cooking utensils to lacquerware and food samples, and is a rare place in the world where all kinds of food-related tools are available. The eyes of professional chefs examining kitchen knives and young people shopping for a complete set of utensils to start their own business are serious. We took a look at the shopping of people who have reached a turning point in their lives, such as marriage or moving to Tokyo, over the course of three days in Japan's No. 1 town for tools, where 170 stores are lined up.
