I hope this is not too weird to be asking in a travel forum. I'm into Japanese cooking and am starting to learn sushi making. are there any good shops selling cookery stuff and good quality sushi making kit? I'm staying in Sunroute Shinjuku. You can buy good knifes, shushi oke (kinda like sushi rice bucket) and a world of other authentic sushi goods at Kappabashi near Asakusa. Here is an example: Tokyu Hands also has some sushi things as well. From my experience, I don't think you really need any special tools or kit for making sushi! You just need the right ingredients like the good rice, vinegar for the rice, crispy fresh seaweed, and whatever you want in the sushi, and a bamboo mat for rolling the sushi. If you are not making maki rolls, then you don't even need any mat. I have seen in Tokyu Hands though these funny cute shapes like cookie cutters and bottles for sauce to squeeze and make writing and faces on the rice for bento/lunch boxes for kids.

I got some, and got some like a hole puncher that punches seaweed into funny faces and shapes. Secret to making good sushi is the RICE and really fresh ingredients. Do you mean a bamboo mat (makisu) for roling sushi? Or a wooden container (handai) and a wooden flat spoon (shamoji) which you use when you season sushi rice? Anyway you can find a good range of japanese cooking utensils at Tokyu-Hands in the Southern Terrace, Shinjuku. They don't have tools for professional chefs but good ones for home use. If time permits, you would like to have a look at Kappabashi Street near Asakusa. All shops along the street deal with a whole range of kitchen tools for business or household.

I am only interested to buy things such as the hangiri, shamoji, makisu and oshibako. Not really ingredients as I don't think I will be able to take ingredient back to my country. I think the hangiri, shamoji, makisu will be easy to locate but not sure about the oshibako. But thank you all and I shall explore all the recommended area

Oshibako is a bit more tricky to get as I was looking for this last time. Department stores have nice wooden ones made by century old shops, with prices to match. Cheap wooden or pricey commercial grade plastic ones are sold at Kappabashi kitchen street. Thanks for your feedback. I was just wondering, in case I do not have the time to explore Kappabashi street, can I just get all the stuff I mentioned earlier in Department stores in Shinjuku? do you remember where you got your oshibako? I got mine from Kappabashi, cheap wooden ones for 800. Plastic commercial ones are 2500+. Wooden ones at Keio/Odakyo are ~4000. You will get all the stuff (Osibako is iffy at times) at the department stores.
