Food sample

This week I will introduce about a very unusual technique of Japan.

Usually when we take food in a restaurant, we use to order the food by seeing the items in the menu that is kept on the table.

In Japan, there is a custom of displaying the food sample models at the shop front for the customers to see, same as the menu given in the restaurant.

The technique of making the same item as the menu is called as the Food sample.



 
The raw material used is wax only.

Yes it is the wax used in candle.

The items same as the menu is made by adding various colors to this wax, melting it with hot water while heating with the dryer.




All the images are samples, and not the real food items.
Naturally, it cannot be consumed as the material is wax.


This is what you can expect to see before a Japanese restaurant.











Here are some Youtube videos showing the preparation of Food sample.



I think it will be very interesting!
