Kaikado

4.5

This old tea caddy maker was established in 1875 and offers handcrafted tea caddies in copper, brass and tin plate. Each piece is a work of art made via a complicated and delicate production process of 130 steps passed down from the first generation, and is airtight with its character revealed after long use. Still using traditional methods, today they also make and sell tin plate coffee cans and pasta cans with attached measures; they are popular as gifts as well as items to use oneself. The shop is distinctive for its whitewashed walls, hanging noren curtains and show window with arranged tea caddies. The closest station is Kiyomizu-Gojo Station.

之前在明珠台有看到介紹，說年輕新一代接手這家百年老店，這家店主要售賣盛載茶叶的金屬器具，如對這類型產品有興趣的可以前去購買，一個正常大小的都要上10000Yen，還有更貴的。另外在本店附近有另一家配有Cafe的新店，是用舊建築物改建的，它的水出綠茶超好喝的！
