It's a famous street full of houseware things — like kitchen stuff!

Past simple

So some of you recommended it and we are checking it out today!

One of the great things about where we live is how easily we can get to Tokyo and its many wards via the Odakyu train line.

Today we're going to the far side of Tokyo, near Tokyo SkyTree,

We've heard about a street that sells anything and everything you need for the kitchen.

We haven't ever been there before, so I'm excited to see how Ruth will respond,

and a bit curious about how much she might spend.

That's cool! Look at all those cups on that building— the chef up there. They are ready for us.

If I had more space, I would buy them because they're beautiful! And I love hot pot.

Oh my goodness, there's so many amazing things!

I don't need this stuff, but I want this stuff.

I wonder if you'll end up buying something and what you will buy.

Don't touch. Don't touch, watch the bags!

This is all paper crafts for cakes and stuff.

This is awesome stuff for the coffee shop, you know? I know!

They have all the molds for making cakes and chocolates, and for packaging them for selling them.

They have all the plastic molds, which are amazing. That's cool.

And all the packaging, like all the paper-wrapping stuff and cup-cakey things.

I mean, look, I could make a mini-cheesecakes in this and put a swirl on top with a lemon and still fit a lid!

For your own little Yakiniku place. Oh man, Yakiniku and all kinds of awesome stuff!

The more stores we enter, the more we can see how each store has it's own speciality or niche.

Yes, you see lots of the same things thought the many stores,

but almost all the stores are centered around a theme or service.

Just when you thought you've seen it all, something unique comes along.

Ruth found cookie-cutters. I want this one for next Christmas!

It cuts out, and you put it together like a puzzle!

But it was a cookie-cutter at a knife shop.

Ruth's like "we got to keep an eye on the time because it just might get away."

This is like "Washyoku" — for Japanese kind of dishes.

Look at all of this though, wow. But I want a bowl that matches this or this.

Wouldn't that be a pretty solid bowl? Yeah, that is pretty. Very cool.

It will go good with my white. It does white and blue.

The choice is yours — what do you get? Oh my goodness!

I wonder if these can go in the microwave?

What would I serve on this? Carrot sticks?

A beautiful bowl and plate, and Ruth has found her next purchase.

Well I got some beautiful bowls... How much did it run you?

Well one bowl and one tray... Oh yes, very nice.

Little did we know, we were about to discover one of Ruth's favorite stores.

Cake supplies, cake supplies! Oh my goodness, cake supplies.

I really want one of these, but I want a little bigger mold.

They have the Easter Bunny. I'm going to wait, just wait. I'm not sure about that yet.

A pizza cutter, very important for the Reutter family.

I'm getting a pizza cutter, frosting bags and a silicone little ball mold.

There's a whole other side of the road that we haven't seen yet!

Well I could spend hours upon hours And hundreds of dollars!

All the plastic food that they show in the windows!

You can bring yours in and have it made like it.

That's right. Or you just find something like what you want to sell.

I need to register my presence here, otherwise you won't know that I was actually with you.

Joanne loves little bowls. My mom does love little bowls.

There's some beautiful bowls... Oh look at that one.
