Japanese brand Kinto now boasts a store in Los Angeles, but the flagship shop in Tokyo is located down a sleepy street in Nakameguro and carries a sleek selection of tableware, tumblers, and coffee equipment. The store even sells its own coffee blend, which is sourced from the Single O coffee roasters in Tokyo’s Ryogoku neighbourhood.
Kinto is most popular for its travel mugs and tumblers, which come in clean, muted colours and simple designs – they make excellent and affordable gifts and souvenirs. At the sister store around the corner, you can even personalise your tumbler with your initials. There are also made-in-Japan ceramics, lightweight glass cups, and stylish pots and vases. The shop also hosts flower arranging classes and coffee workshops.
