A Typical Workday at a Japanese Hardware Tool Store


This is a typical Japan workday at a KIRAKUYA, a local Japanese second-hand hardware tool store tucked away in the quiet neighborhood of Ichikawa, Chiba. Since 1948, this low-key shop has been a trusted go-to for local construction workers and Do-it-Yourself enthusiasts alike as it’s filled from floor to ceiling with every tool imaginable. We start the morning with Imazono san opening the store and sharing his daily work activities at the hardware store. As part of his morning routine, he cleans up around the shop. In Japan, it’s common practice for businesses to keep the street in front of their store neat and tidy, even if it’s a public road. It’s about more than just cleanliness; it reflects a deep-rooted cultural value of community responsibility and pride in one’s surroundings.

This Tokyo hidden gem chicken shop receives farm fresh chicken deliveries daily, refrigerating them overnight to bring out the natural umami from their bones, and finally dressing them first thing the next morning, which produces an unmatched level of freshness and flavor when compared to machine processed chickens sold at the supermarket.
