At the heart of Los Feliz’s culturally diverse and vibrant art scene, KADO is a treasure trove for Los Angeles residents seeking authentic Japanese culinary experiences right in their homes. Specializing in an array of Japanese products, KADO bridges the gap between Japan’s rich traditions and the modern American kitchen. The store boasts an extensive collection of Japanese cookware, tableware, traditional and folk crafts, and unique seasonings.
Herbert Johnson, the store’s discerning buyer, traverses the breadth of Japan to curate a selection of high-quality items that surpass what might be found at mainstream stores like Williams Sonoma. His meticulous choice ensures that patrons can access exclusive Japanese delicacies and essentials without stepping foot outside the U.S.
For those looking to indulge in a traditional Japanese-style breakfast, KADO offers everything needed to assemble a perfect morning meal. The store recommends using the ‘kamado-san’ Donabe Rice Cooker, celebrated as one of the finest rice cookers globally, to prepare fluffy white rice. This can be complementarily served in Hasami Porcelain’s Deep Round Bowl in gloss gray, while the miso soup finds its home in a beautifully contrasting natural bowl.
Located in a neighborhood that attracts a creative and discerning crowd, KADO is not just a store but a gateway to the exquisite culture and lifestyle of Japan. As the holiday season approaches, it stands out as the ideal destination for those in search of unique and thoughtful gifts. Whether for daily use or special occasions, KADO provides a slice of Japan to those who cherish quality and authenticity in their culinary adventures.
