amirisu operates two brick-and-mortar locations in Japan. WALNUT Kyoto is our a flagship store in Kyoto, and WALNUT Tokyo is our location in the Minami Aoyama area in Tokyo. If you've visited us in Tokyo in the past, please note that from June 2021 we have a new location (see below for details).

We carry various imported brands including La Bien Aimée, Brooklyn Tweed, Woolfolk, De Rerum Natura, Isager, Laine Publishing, and Hiyahiya, as well as products from Japanese companies such as Tulip and DARUMA. We also have our own original products and yarns, and carry several brands and products that are available no where else in Japan. We continue to expand our selection to complement projects introduced in our publications and other newly released patterns.

Please note that we do not carry Noro and other mass-produced Japanese brands, except for DARUMA and Tulip.

We regularly offer knitting classes and occasional workshops, follow us on Facebook or Instagram for updates.
