Looks Real… But It’s All FAKE FOOD! #Japan #osakatrip #japantravel #travel #japanesefood
And here’s something that always fascinates tourists, the fake food. Almost every restaurant here has a glass case out front filled with plastic replicas of their dishes inside. To the eyes of a tourist, it can seem quite quirky or even kitschy. But in Japan, it’s an art form. These models, called sampuru, are handmade from resin and meticulously painted to look exactly like the real dish. [Music]
