With its sleek interior, Amahare fits right in among the posh speciality stores of Shirokane. Besides traditional tableware, its selection of about 600 items includes beautiful wooden, glass and ceramic wares, with prices ranging from a couple thousand to hundreds of thousands of yen.
You’ll enjoy browsing through a lineup this diverse – but go straight to the knowledgeable staff if you know what you want or are short on time. The room in the front functions as an exhibition zone highlighting a specific artist, while the space in the back houses the shop’s permanent (but seasonally changing) collection. The staff take great care to display items such as bowls, cups and chopsticks that go well with each other side by side, inviting you to give your own kitchen table a complete makeover.
