At the other end? I doint know. I got so tired that I never ventured that far and turned back to Nimmi. In all honesty, it doesnt matter what was further on. I saw enough of the stores to know what they were selling. Apart from phtsical goods, the place also olfferes knife sharpening.
Another famous product of the area is the plastic food display that so prominent in japanese restaurants. There are several stores that have these on sale and can even make custom ones. I didnt look at the prices but I hear it can be pretty expensive for the larger items
At this particular shop, they sell equipment to open up your own American-style diner. Altough you may have to provide your own copy of the American Graffiti soundtrack. You can also buy a ticket vending machine. These are popular in Japan so that none of the workers have to handle the money
What we found somewhat odd was not so much how many stores there were selling all kinds of restaurant supplies but how few restaurants there were in the area. Around lunchtime, we went in search of an eatery. Along the main street there were none. Even along some of the branching alleys, very few were found. Even fewer wer found to be open. As a last resort, we settled on a Jonathons that we had passed while walking here from Ueno. I started with calamari and had a mixed plate as my main. Clockwise from top left: fries, corn, fried chgicken pieces with tartar sauce and a hamburger steak.
