Niimi is one of the most famous shops in Kappabashi Tool Street. The shop is in a corner of the Asakusa Street and Kappabashi Tool Street and you can easily find a head of a cook on the building.

They sell various kinds of tableware and kitchen tools. I found cute animal plates and Sakura motif dishes.
