Located right at Roppongi Crossing. The first floor is a clothing store, but walk downstairs for a large selection of yarns, including Japanese and imported.

It's a bit of a leap of faith to enter this store -- through the Roppongi clothing entrance into the basement -- but once you get there it's worth it. Zara, among other imported yarns, Puppy yarns, some sock yarns -- lovely stuff here. The staff is very kind. I don't think they speak English, but we had no problems communicating with hand gestures and pencils and paper. She even wrote out her own pattern of one of the display shawls.

This was by far the best place I have been to in Tokyo. The prices didn't leave me shell shocked. The selection was really good. You have to dig a bit, but they have great things on sale if you just look. Regular priced things were also very fair. One of the ladies there spoke English very well and was very helpful. I think she was the owner since she knitted just about everything in the store, and there is a lot! It is so confusing trying to find this place. I couldn't find a sign for it anywhere. I happened to stumble upon it by chance. It is on the same side as Roppongi crossing as the Almond bakery. If you are facing the Almond bakery it is across the small street and then the huge street, off to the right a bit. There is a grocery store directly across the street from it. The women's clothing store was a collection of evening gowns and very casual wear. The only thing that tipped me off was the lady behind the counter was crocheting! It was great to visit and I highly recommend this as a place to check out.
