Japanese Fake Food Samples: Plastic Parfait Class in Fukuoka

Impressively similar to the real life foods they represent, plastic food samples are widely used throughout Japan. Usually found in display cases in front of restaurants and eateries, these food samples or “shokuhin sanpuru” (literally translating to “food samples” in English) are 3D replicas of an establishment’s menu, made from realistic-looking plastic. Always enticing but not actually edible, these perfect plastic versions of food are convincing, commonplace in Japan, and are fascinatingly mouthwatering for plastic! This is a unique opportunity for anyone who is visiting Fukuoka to make their very own plastic food sample.
