I’m in Japan frequently so I wouldn’t say I’m going there just for this - but I buy most of my stuff there, phone, laptop, Doltz dental care machines, rice cooker, my knives and endless food items I’m not allowed to buy here.
But for cookware like this, I’ll only buy a product made in Japan. We have Japanese cookware shops here that sell woks but they are prohibitively expensive especially given we’re enroute to 160JPY/USD, so I can buy it Tokyo for a fraction of the cost plus have more choices.
