Shokuhin Sanpuru - Plastic Food In Japan
Shokuhin Sanpuru 食品サンプル are food samples, exhibited in the windows of restaurants and food-serving establishments throughout Japan. They are accurate reproductions of the real dishes, inviting customers to come in. It is a visual menu displayed in the windows. Being specific to Japan, such tiny samples can be found in souvenir shops as well. They make nice fridge magnets, too.

Thank you for the comment and the link.

Amazing plastic foods! (* _ *)
ReplyDeleteHere in Brazil, our Japanese restaurants have food samples but those in Japan looks more "tasty". ^^
I was looking at the photos and saw one of my favorite dishes: Tonkatsu Teishoku (I read you avoid eating pork...). It's really similar to the dish I've eaten here.
Yes, I rarely eat pork.
ReplyDeleteThey eat a lot of pork in Okinawa. You may want to enjoy a local pork dish called "rafte."
Tonkatsu is delicious, indeed.
