My first visit to Kappabashi-dori

I noticed my espresso maker needs to be replaced the gasket when I make an espresso. I looked for a shop which sells a gasket, and I found the one in Kappabashi-dori.

Since I moved to Tokyo, I wanted to visit Kappabashi-dori, and today is the first time to visit there . Kappabashi-dori is a kitchen street and I can find every types of kitchen supplies there. I love cooking and also love just the kitchen supplies. It was so much fun to walk on this street.

I brought the old gasket to the coffee supply stor. But the shop staff told me he needs to see the espresso maker, not only gasket. They don't sell the same espresso maker that I have, so he can't say the gasket they sell can be used to mine or not. If it will not fit mine, I can't use it and waste of my money. 

After I came back home, I found a stamp" TRACANZAN" at the bottom of my espresso maker. My espresso maker is from Italy.(I didn't know it...) Anyway I will bring my espresso maker and go back to the store again.

Again, it was so much fun to be there and I stayed there more than two hours. I stopped many shops and got some at a few shops.

Hand Coffee Grinder - I have an electric grinder, but I wanted to get a hand coffee grinder when I want to drink a fresh coffee.
Also, I got a butter knife, glass canister and the Cassis(black currant) flavor essence. 
Cassis essence was on sale, because it was expired the expiration date. :P  Original price was 495 JPY, but it is sold for 100 JPY now.

I added the Cassis essence to Pepsi. It tastes like Cherry Coke.

After I left Kappabashi-dori, I hang around near there. I noticed the "SKY TREE"(It's a world's tallest tower) near the station while I was walking. It's so BIG!
