Tortoise General Store

Owned by husband-and-wife duo Keiko and Taku Shinomoto, this hidden gem (formerly located on Abbot Kinney) offers a curated selection of home wares, furniture and accessories steeped in traditional, Japanese design with a modern twist; it’s minimalism at its finest and a favorite of L.A.’s design forces. Add some Eastern influence into your kitchen with a teapot by Hasami Porcelain or handcrafted brass cutlery by Japan-based company Lue.
