Discovering Adorable Cat-Themed Tableware at 'Treasure Island' in Mangwon-dong!
Hello everyone!
Today, I'm sharing my experience at a treasure trove of a store selling the cutest cat-themed tableware... aptly named 'Treasure Island'!
I originally thought it was only located in Seongsu-dong, but apparently, they have a store in Mangwon-dong too! If you're ever in the area, definitely check it out.
Treasure Island
Address: 15, Poeun-ro 8-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
Hours: Mon-Fri 11 AM - 8 PM / Sat-Sun 10 AM - 8 PM
Parking: Not available (use nearby paid parking)
Specialty: Officially imported Japanese tableware and goods
The store I visited was near the entrance of Mangwon Market. I couldn't find it on Naver Maps, so I contacted the owner to get the address.
Refer to the map above!
They specialize in tableware officially imported from Japan. I had previously written a review about a wholesale market in Namdaemun where I saw similar cute cat tableware, but this place felt like an upgraded version!
They had so many incredibly adorable dishes, but since I was mainly focused on the cat-themed ones, expect a whole lot of cats in this post! hehe
It starts with these adorable chopstick rests...♡
They have various character, animal, vegetable, and flower-shaped chopstick rests, and they are super cute... I got a paper crane-shaped one!
A rice bowl with a cat hanging on it.
Pastel-toned dishes with various illustrations.
This cat sake bottle (tokkuri) is so cute!!!!! I really wanted it, but I don't drink sake...
I didn't buy it, but if I saw a tokkuri like this at an Izakaya, I would be so happy.
Vehicles that my husband loves lol
I bought a car tableware set when we went on our honeymoon, but this one is much better quality, so I got it right away. So colorful and cute~~
Now, let's get this cat party started.
The cutest cat cup and cat teaspoon. It's the perfect set...
Super cute Japanese cat spoon.
Japanese spoons are so inconvenient to use, but the cat design makes me want it... Someone buy it for me~~~
The most adorable cat plates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're shallow and small, so you can't put a lot of food on them, but I thought I could use them for desserts or fruit... So, I got the cheese cat and gray cat set.
Aren't these paw pads just insane? They're so cute, I need them now!
The pink jelly pads were also so cute that I was conflicted... But it will be not unified if I have only one so I got two together♡
The mini cats are so cute too.
Besides these, they had many other cute cat plates, fruit plates, etc... I was so focused on the cats that I only took pictures of those, but they had tons of cute and adorable dishes.
Japan really is the best at cute things...
Purchase list, prices

A plate with railways and vehicles carved in relief and painted in various colors.
Kids will love it, right? Hehe

The cat face on the bottom, the cat lying down, and the little paw prints behind it...

9000 KRW
The cat paw print cup is 9000 KRW.
The inside of the cup also has paw print-shaped grooves, so you'll have to wash it thoroughly, but it's so cute...
I was in a bad mood for some reason that day, but visiting Treasure Island completely healed me.
Cat dishes are the best...❤
For those visiting Mangwon-dong,
Explore Mangwon Market, go on a bread tour in Mangwon-dong, and then visit Treasure Island to see cute Japanese tableware.
That's a perfect day date! hehe
I also visited Tinomade, a place with incredibly delicious matcha shaved ice that day, and I'll post a review of that together. hehehe
