For some people like in my case, being a mom working from home, many of us wanted to try becoming a chef in our own home, baking bread, cakes, and cookies for our kids.

You can check the links below for the store details. Here are some stores.

100 Yen shop/Daiso 

First, I went to Daiso to look for some baking materials. They have a few items that can be useful if you’re a first-timer.

I bought some basic item that I can use for baking such as an aluminum foil pan, a measuring cup, and a spoon.  Not expensive yet very useful, good for beginners.

They have also small ready to bake flour and some small and cute utensils. Daiso in Harajuku is one of the biggest shops, having plenty of thing to choose.

Tokyu Hands

Since I live near Ikebukuro, I went to check out Tokyu Hands in Ikebukuro and they have also a baking section.

They have a lot of pans and molds of different sizes. The items are similar to what you can find in the 100 Yen shop, but there are also items that you cannot find in the 100 Yen shop.

Out of the many Tokyu Hands across Tokyo, the one in Shibuya is the one that has the biggest kitchen and baking section. They have all kinds and sizes of cake tins, crumpet rings, egg rings, cookie cutters, measuring cups, thermometers, silicone spatulas, and much more.

Don Quijote is a large store that has a little bit of everything. Larger versions of these stores are called “Mega Don Quijote”.

In these stores, mostly you can find big materials like machines to use for baking. Also, you will find supplies like flour for making dough and other ingredients as well. It was nice to look around to see what they have to offer.
