When walking down the food street of Dotonbori in Osaka or the Shinkansen bullet train station in Kyoto it is difficult to miss the tantalizing display of dishes on display.
These fast foods are neatly arranged in rows and columns attracting the customer to taste them.
The Japanese fast food look nutritious since every ingredient is clearly visible in the samples on display.
Would anyone believe these are synthetic foods and not the real ones?
Of course, the ones you buy are real.
As a window-shopping item, the sample food items look extremely realistic.
Great efforts have gone into making them look real and more appealing than the actual dishes.
They are usually mounted vertically or slanted yet the ingredients do not seem to fall apart or separate nor slide down the ceramic dish.
One would think they are shrink-wrapped, but they are usually not.
Every bite including the individual rice grain is also modeled and arranged in with typical Japanese perfection.
When I observed carefully, the sauce is also textured to look realistic, and it won’t drip down in the slanted dish yet looked real. That was amazing.
The roasted and fried items are shown with the perfect texture to arouse the desire to taste them for causal passer byes.
The synthetic models display the dish exactly as it would look when served setting the expectation of the customers what they would get for the money they spend.
The food joints have left no stone unturned to showcase the dish with the toppings and also the color of the beer or drink that accompanies it.
This is truly impressive!
The famous Japanese Bento box also finds a place in the display cases giving customers an exact idea of how the food will look like.
Here are more amazing Bento boxes that look delicious even in a synthetic form.
I found that the mesmerizing synthetic food replicas in Japanese restaurants and food joints are treat to the eyes and taste buds too
