Thanks for sharing Sable, good on you and your son! It's amazing to find a shop like that anywhere.
I see that tobacco available from where I order - I’m in Osaka but I don’t know where the shop is: 葉巻・シガー、パイプ煙草 - https://www.kagaya-smokeweb.com/e-commex/cgi-bin/ex_index.cgi
There isn’t a pipe shop in Osaka as nice as Nomura. I remember looking at tobacco reviews of these and not being jazzed but I’ll have to look again. I have to check if Nomura is online because Kagaya is OK but just OK in terms of international tobacco selection. I just order online because the shops around Osaka are so-so. ETA: looks like Nomura is NOT online. But the link above has Asuka. Again, I don’t recall the review being a rave.

Same here. We don't have anything here on the coast other than head shops and liquor stores that cater to cigarettes, vapes, and cheap cigars. The most popular place for buying tobacco products here is actually the local pet supply store. When I go there to buy dog food most of their customers are buying cigarettes.
From the photos It looks awesome. Unfortunately my wife won't be spending any time in Tokyo. She's going to Okayama and probably won't be making any trips to larger cities. I'm not sure if there are any good options there, but she's going to give it a try.
Very interesting.
I was in Tokyo years ago and in one market they displayed cantaloupes with a price tag of $ 50 each
They were the most perfect & gorgeous cantaloupes you’ve seen in your life. All impeccably packaged & displayed in that way that only the Japanese do. And at that time the Japanese were flying high in the world.
But I had assumed their pipe tobacco prices would be extremely high today. Sounds like that isn’t the case.
Thanks for sharing those photos.

Paying for a pair of world class cantaloupes can run you a lot of money.Very interesting.

Cantaloupes are currently out of season, but other melons are available...
A buddy of mine is in Japan now, visiting his son.
he was there just before Christmas, too and was telling me about a tobacconist he'd visited and was blown away.
I'll pass this one onto him, I hope that he gets the chance to visit.
Thanks Jesse.
