A Trip to Ichiban Kan
Sometimes a girl needs kitchen inspiration on the cheap, and that’s when a visit to Ichiban Kan is in order. No high-end pans or cutlery to be found here. Instead, the small store in San Francisco’s Japantown is stuffed full of cheap but super-cute goods for the kitchen and the rest of the house. The store is probably best known for carrying inexpensive bento boxes in a wide range of colors and sizes.
Below are just a few samples examples of little toys for the kitchen:

Tiny Sauce Bottles for the kid’s (or adult’s) bento box

Furikake Case
What’s Furikake? A dry seasoning to sprinkle on top of rice.

I <3 me some ichi ban kan!
I know! I only spent about $3, but had hours worth of entertainment!
I love this place! I grabbed some fun lunch bag inserts, and everything I needed to drink more loose tea (a tiny strainer for my teapot, individual tea strainers, a dish for dripping tea strainers, etc.) Almost as much fun as Sanrio. And so cheap!
