Did you know that there is a company in Japan that specializes in creating fake food displays for restaurants? These displays, called “sampuru,” are incredibly realistic and can range from sushi rolls to burgers to ice cream sundaes. The company, which was founded in the 1930s, uses plastic, wax, and other materials to create these displays, and they even offer workshops for tourists to try their hand at making their own sampuru. This unique aspect of Japanese food culture not only adds to the visual appeal of restaurant windows but also showcases the country’s attention to detail and craftsmanship.
