If you're a homeware junkie like me, this is your haven!…read more Tucked away in SF's Japantown, SF76 is a beautifully curated store featuring all things homeware, kitchenware, and cutie knickknacks. Walking in, it reminded me of an elevated Muji, but with more intentionally sourced goodies from local artists and makers. I could truly spend hours here- the selection is amazing! I ended up with a handful of adorable chopstick rests to take home.

In addition to the home goods, which are incredible, I love the clothing options, handbags, wallets, & the jewelry which are all so beautiful. I wish I could buy it all! On each occasion that I shopped there, both women working at the shop are both quite knowledgable, friendly, and always guide me w/ suggestions of what i might be looking for. Every time I find what I'm looking for, and am very happy with each purchase from A Priori. It's a very pleasant place to shop & find gifts for family members & in my own home.

It's impossible not to appreciate the craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal of what's on offer. Even if I go in just to browse, I can't seem to leave without at least one purchase.

I first learned about Jered's Pottery when I had dinner at Rich Table. I make pottery myself so I…read morehave a habit of checking the bottoms of tableware when I dine out. Jered's name was on the bottom of all the pieces and they were all great! I finally had a chance to go visit Jered's Pottery myself and picked up a few pieces to take home. I even got to say hi to Jered and tour his studio. They make all of their clay and glazes in house. I got to see some in progress pieces including parts of a cool hand built sculptural boxed wall art installation. Highly recommend visiting if you're looking for functional pieces for your home!

Great pottery in the neighborhood. They have a big collection and a variety of stuff you would…read morefind. Some of them get sold to bigger brands such as Restoration Hardware so the designs are quite familiar. You can buy those items here that were rejected by such big brands for really minute flaws that I hardly ever noticed. The finish is great in the products. We got a chance to take a look in to their crafting area and it was huge! They had so many unique items that I wanted to buy all of them. They also host team building activities or private sessions for folks interested in learning the art.

So it's not able when a shop stands out because of their selection of things that I might actually buy! Eclecticism! Maison d'Etre is one of those (and there are others on the same street!). I was impressed, and felt certain that they would have goods that changed over time as well. No mere Therapy store here! Best way to know what I'm talking about is to check out all the pictures.

Despite offering multiple resolution options, the customer, clearly trying to provoke a confrontation, resorted to name-calling and unreasonable demands. Aside from that incident, the store itself offers a variety of unique items that make great gifts for loved ones, or even a treat for yourself!

Cutting to the chase, I'm here for the Hasami Ceramics. While one could order these online, Sanko carries the entire line. One could touch/feel and purchase these on the spot.

I could easily spend over an hour walking through all the aisles to check everything out. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for things for your kitchen or are nearby. Btw they are closed on Sundays.

This place, as the name implies, it's a restaurant supply company. They have an amazingly large…read moreselection of plates, bowls, and various types of cookware. We go here once or twice a year and shop for plates and bowls for our house. You can buy one or more of any style. The prices are excellent. The service is fast at the register. They wrap each dish in newspaper to keep it safe for your travels home. If you've never been here, I recommend checking it out. It's hard to imagine you wouldn't leave with a few things that you didn't know you needed. Lastly, it's worth noting that they are very consistent in their brands. So if you buy dishes and a few years later, need to replace one or two due to breakage or wear and tear overtime, they will likely still have the exact same item. This makes keeping your dishes, consistent as opposed to a mishmash of different types and styles.

Items are rotated out regularly-- we like to pop in and ask about what's new. Staff are lovely and eager answer questions. Kind of heavy on upselling at times. Some of their items can be pricier, I've definitely found the same products cheaper online, but I chalk it up to local biz tax and supporting a brick-and-mortar store.
