Tortoise General Store

Owned by husband-and-wife duo Keiko and Taku Shinimoto, this hidden gem (formerly located on Abbot Kinney) offers a curated selection of home wares, furniture and accessories steeped in traditional, Japanese design with a modern twist; it’s minimalism at its finest and a favorite of L.A.’s design forces. Add some Eastern influence into your kitchen with a tea pot by Hasami Porcelain, a handmade plate and cup by Tokyo-based Yumiko Iihoshi, or hand crafted brass cutlery by Japan-based company, Lue.
