[OGZ's Yamato Town Exploration Vol. 15] Tokyo Kanda Edition Klättermusen Tokyo Jimbocho / Klettermusen Jimbocho, Tokyo! [Brand Store Visit]

Now, the Nagano version has begun... Due to various circumstances, I cannot proceed further, so I'll go back to the city center for now.

Previous visit

Tokyo starts in front of the east exit of JR Suidobashi Station.

Speaking of this area, there is BASE CAMP, an outdoor concept cafe that is famous among outdoor enthusiasts, almost in front of the station. The owner, Esuke, is famous in the industry, so many people probably know this!

On the way from the station to my destination, this is also well known, but the various arrangements of the shops have recently changed. By the way, up to this point, you can just go straight south from the station, so you'll hardly get lost. From here, turn right a little further, but if you don't go straight and head out to Yasukuni Street, head along the road towards Kanda Station, and it goes without saying that there are many large and small outdoor shops. Among them is Zain Arts Jimbocho store, which I recently visited.

From past visits

After turning south, turn right and head a little, you will arrive at the direct brand store of Crettalmusen, our destination, right in front of Sakaiya Sports Main Store!

Look towards the entrance of the store. This time I'm visiting on holidays, so the shutters are half open, but they are usually fully open so don't worry.

Kayahara Tetsuro, the manager of Crettalmusen Tokyo, usually runs the store.

This time it's special! Sakuma Shu appears from the sales team. I'm glad that I can tell you about the brand, what I recommend, and what these things are recommended! This is a product description that you can share with Sakuma herself, so the content will allow you to immerse yourself in the world of Crettalmusen. At the end of the sentence, there's also big news from Krettalmusen!

The store has stylish outdoor gear displayed in various places, but it is said that all staff belong to the personal belongings. There are so many masterpieces that I can't help but want this when I look at it a little (bitter smile)

The left side of the entrance is the spectacular group of backpacks, called Crettal! Right.

If you look up, you'll see a glimpse of the second floor in your backpack. Above is a selection of women's main products.

You can go up by using the stairs on the right, so be careful as there are some low ceilings that you can go up.

The center is mainly small items, and if you go to the back you will find men's clothing in large packs. However, when you shop, you can pay completely cashless and only credit cards and various electronic payments are available, so be careful.

Ymer2.0 65L+12L / Immer 2.0 65L+12L

Now, let's have Sakuma talk to you all to the fullest, and the first batter is here, which symbolizes Crettalmusen!

-Krettalmusen is a Scandinavian Swedish outdoor brand, but I think this Ima is a backpack that shows off the local design. Speaking of Crettalmusen! This model is packed with a lot of details, so it is a top-of-the-line model that should be kept in mind for those who are not looking for a large pack.

Sweden is not a single steep mountain like Japan, but it is a country with vast natural beauty and is located in the north of Lapland, which spans Scandinavian countries, and there are many long trails.

This is a large-capacity backpack that represents the brand, bringing the image of a journey that involves walking through unmanned wildernesses for days and packing all your food, clothing and shelter!

It has a distinctive outer frame structure that looks like a carrier, and is designed to comfortably carry heavy luggage. It may seem to be in direct contrast to the current trend of being light and compact, but you can carry it on your back even if you put a large amount of alcohol and other items that you can enjoy on the night of a mountain hiking trip in a tent.

Crettalmusen's products are very important to ensure that they are not easily broken and last a long time. For example, the hip belt buckle is made of sturdy aluminum. If the buckle breaks down during the journey, you won't be able to distribute the load to your lower back, right?

The distinctive metal parts of the acromioclaval bone are parts called butterfly bridges, which are important in shaping the unique carrying system called the "carry-on-bone system" that works in conjunction with the frame and harness. This technology reduces muscle pressure and reduces fatigue by directly transmitting load to the bones. Here... It's a bit difficult to tell the effects in writing, so we recommend that you try adding weights in store!

This is a sturdy and sturdy masterpiece with traditional Krettalmusen designs scattered everywhere. We would like you to carry it in our store and feel the world of Crettalmusen backpacks.

Asynja Jacket / Asynja Jacket

This is Rainshell's masterpiece, with a simple design incorporating various ingenuity. As of now, all models wearing clothing are M size men's and 175cm tall, so please be sure to check.

For example, when you look at the back, there are no seams at all! It can be seen that it is shaped from a single piece of fabric. Seams = holes increase the risk of flooding, and seam tape, which is likely to cause trouble, can be minimized. The fabric is made of the unique three-layer waterproof and breathable material "Coutan", which is extremely supple and stretchy. This creates a design that does not interfere with body movement even with fewer seams.

The diagonal front zipper is designed to prevent interference with the chin. By the way, the outer shell zipper is offset to the left side and the mid layer is offset to the right side, so the zipper tab does not accumulate in one place.

Water-stopping zippers are prone to aging, so we do not use them on purpose, and have double flaps on the front and back to prevent wind and rain from entering.

Another feature is that no velcro is used on the cuffs. Velcro is easily worn out, and if it breaks, it's a hassle to repair it!? This jacket is cord-type, but even if something goes wrong, you can easily remove the cord and replace it yourself, making it easier to deal with the site.

Vingtor Hood Jacket

This is a new rainshell that has been added to the collection this season. Compared to the Asynja Jacket, this model is thinner and lighter and is easier to adapt to high temperature and humidity conditions.

It is extremely lightweight and compact, so if you use it as a windshell, you can significantly reduce the amount of luggage you need.

Can you tell that the light is light? This waterproof and breathable material is 2.5 layers, and the outer material is polyester, making it highly hydrophobic. Like Asynja Jacket, this is an original fabric with high stretchability.

Syn SS Shirt / Shin Short Sleeve Shirt

We also recommend this quick-drying shirt style!

The black triangle part on the chest is a reflector that reflects light, but also functions as a sunglass holder. ...As someone who often loses sunglasses, this is a very helpful tip (lol)

Brimer 32L / Brimer 32L

If we consider the aforementioned Ymer 2.0 to be an old-fashioned Crettalmusen, this could be said to be a model with a modern update. While following the big brand concept, such as metal buckles and outer frame structure, it has added a variety of useful features such as weight reduction and waterproofing.

As you can see, the design creates space between the back and waist, making it a unisex design that is highly breathable and does not get stuffy, and the back length can be adjusted.

This is what I (175cm tall) wear on my back. This model is suitable for day trips and mountain huts, and is a size that is chosen as your first backpack regardless of gender. Some people who can pack compactly may use it for staying in a tent.

The surface fabric is waterproof nylon fabric. The lining is not seamed, but it can be used in rainy weather without a rain cover. The Webin Group, which is strung like veins, is an iconic design of the brand, and as an example, you can customize it to your own specifications, such as attaching a sacoche here. The large side pocket can hold a wine bottle!

Tjalve 2.0 10L / Tjalve 2.0 10L

This is the smallest and lightest summit pack of the brand.

It is a vest-shaped model and features good fitting. It is compact and has the impression that it is very popular among trail running people and female customers.

The shoulder harness extends from the two bottom points of the pack to provide a perfect fit to your back.

The chest strap is fastened to four points. This is a unique Clelettal part that has a moderate hold but also reduces the tightness of the chest.

Let's head to the 2nd floor

The second floor is not that big, but the display is neatly designed mainly for women's clothing.

I'm curious about this bag that is displayed at the back.

Gebo Bag 23L / Jebo Bag 23L

This is a hidden popular item! At first glance, it looks like a simple tote bag, but it actually has an original design.

The bag itself is designed to compress vertically and vertically, so you can carry it in a variety of styles depending on the volume of your luggage! If you squeeze it tightly, the cord strap on the handle will become longer, so you can wear it diagonally. By combining it in the inside pocket, it can be stored compactly and packably like an eco bag.

I'm also curious about this one, which was right up the stairs!

Allvis Scarf / Alvis Scarf

This scarf is perfect for this season, wiping sweat and protecting your skin from the sun. Tencel is a blend of plant-derived recycled fibers and polyester, and has a silky soft feel and moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties. It can be used in a variety of ways, such as wrapping it around your head or around your neck. It is recommended as an accessory to add color to your mountain hiking, replacing towels and towels!

What are the recommended women's clothing?

Nal Hooded Jacket

This is a bestselling windshell model. This piece is personally fond of its subtle logo, yet it has a presence that can be seen as a Crettalmusen at a glance, and its gentle coloring inspired by the nature of Scandinavians.

I'll be asked to share with you about wearing a men's model.

In addition to the aforementioned details such as the diagonal zipper on the front, the cord adjustment at the hem is very unique.

Pull the cord towards you and then turn it backwards... it allows you to adjust your waist in an instant!

The silhouette of the jacket itself can be freely adjusted, expanding the range of styling. It combines moderate wind resistance and breathability, making it perfect for putting on while walking around the ridge during the green season. The nylon fabric has uneven surfaces and is easy to remove when you sweat. You can also use it as a mid-layer during the fall and winter when the temperature drops.

Crettalmusen also has a lineup of stylish and functional hats.

Mesh Cap

Among these, this is the usual name, "Mesh Cap," but this hat has a distinctive design that is far from a typical mesh cap.

The thick material, like mesh on the back of the backpack, is extremely moisture-absorbing and quick-drying. Personally, I like it because I like the short brim.

There is an adjuster on the cord part on the back, so you can wear it normally...

Uses two-way devices that can be quickly converted to a chin strap by pulling the cord down! It can be used safely even in strong winds.

We also have a wide selection of accessories and backpack accessories.

Algir Accessory Bag / Algir Accessory Bag Series

This is an accessory bag series that functions as a so-called sacoche, and is available in a wide range of products, from smartphone sizes to large items.

What makes it different from a typical sacoche is that it uses the included red aluminum toggle to act as an external attachment for your backpack! You can also hang it on your shoulder! You can attach it to your backpack and add more external access pockets! You can use it as an organizer to organize your luggage, or there are various ways to use it depending on the situation.

We also have a wide variety of repair items!

As mentioned at the beginning, we are a brand that wants to use the same product for as long as possible for as long as possible, so we are actively accepting repairs. We can handle older models as much as possible, so please feel free to contact us.

Finally, a picture book hanging on the second floor!?

This picture book is titled Klas Klättermus, which is the origin of the brand Klättermusen. It is said to be a famous Nordic story, with the main character in the middle of the mouse. The brand name Klätter can be translated as Climing in English, and Musen can be translated as Mouse, meaning "mountain rat." The triangular logos placed on various items are actually based on the head of a mouse.

The real ending of big news!?

This time we were introducing Jimbocho's brand stores and recommended products, but the second brand store will open in Osaka on Friday, July 18th, 2025! Just like the Tokyo Jimbocho store, this is the base for Crettalmusen, the first in West Japan, with a full lineup of seasonal collections, and we hope you will experience a variety of unique details inspired by the majestic nature of Scandinavian Europe!
