'Book an experience with Yamato Sample Factory and make your own plastic food sample in Tokyo! https://www.byfood.com/experiences/japanese-fake-food-sample-making-workshop-tokyo In this installment of Challenge Shizuka, byFood host Shizuka Anderson tackles Japanese fake food samples! The craft of “sampuru” Japanese plastic food replicas began around 90 years ago in Gifu Prefecture. Displaying fake food samples outside storefronts was an efficient way for customers to decide their order without entering the shop or seeing a menu. What began as a convenient menu substitute became a cultural icon, spreading across Japan and even to China and Korea! With the guidance of Ito-san, Shizuka learns how to make Japanese food replicas of both ramen and a parfait, and has her finished product rated by her sensei. It’s the perfect handmade souvenir to take home! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT BYFOOD: ByFood is Japan’s one-stop platform for foodie travelers. Here, visitors can book food experiences (food tours, cooking classes, dining experiences, tastings), place restaurant reservations without Japanese, and learn about Japanese food culture and places to eat in different regions of Japan. ByFood strives to make Japanese food culture accessible to anyone, removing the language barrier and accommodating dietary needs. And if your perfect food experience isn’t available on our platform, the VIP Gourmet Concierge will create one that is custom-made for you. Best of all, when you book an experience on byFood, a portion of the proceeds goes toward NGOs that support children in developing countries, giving them access to necessities like nutritious meals, schools, and housing.
