I walk on this street named “Kottodori” literally meaning “antique street” in the Omotesando neighborhood of Tokyo almost everyday on my way to work but it is rare that I pass by it on foot (I would normally be driving by) on weekends. However a couple of Saturdays ago, I had the occasion to walk the street and came across this market.
Didn’t know there was such a market.
This guy is from somewhere on the “other side” of Japan like Niigata or Ishikawa he told me but I forget exactly where. Bought an “antique” Finnish plate from him.
The guy’s neighbor was a lady selling things of (mostly?) English origin including homemade pies and sweets.
What I bought from the guy: an old Arabia plate.
What I bought from the lady. (Not the plate which I bought in San Gimignano in Tuscany, Italy.)
It was fine but a biiiiiit salty.
