Experience Details
Plastic food samples are a common sight outside restaurants and cafes across Japan.
Known as “shokuhin sanpuru” in Japanese, these realistic 3D replicas show off the dishes a restaurant serves, and they look so convincing that you might want to eat them. However, they are made entirely of plastic.
In Fukuoka, you can make your own “shokuhin sanpuru” in a fun and hands-on workshop.
Step into a colorful studio filled with lifelike food replicas that look almost good enough to eat. Friendly staff will show you how to assemble and decorate your own cookie cake sample.
This family-friendly class lets you get creative with your cake. You can choose your favorite toppings, squeeze your “cake” into a round or heart shape, and decorate it however you like. Extra toppings are available for an additional charge.
Once finished, your kawaii cookie cake makes a perfect souvenir to take home and remember your unique Fukuoka experience.
