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.

What a bummer. I thought since they had their own line it would have more selection. They had mostly other brands there and that was disappointing. It's a beautiful shop, but there is no place to sit and just look through books or anything. It was pretty easy to find. You can see it from the train platform. The prices were a bit high, but they did have nice stuff. The saving point is that it is on the way to Kichijoji on the Keiyo line.

I read about the store in a couple of other websites, but I was a bit disappointed. It's a huge department store with a bit of everything but not much of each thing. The knitting section was small, but it did have a very nice sale bin. The knitting needle selection was very limited to Clovers and bigger sizes only. The good quality yarn was expensive. The acrylic was doable. It was nice if you just want a general craft section.
