Why EVERY Restaurant in Tokyo Displays Fake Food
It's impossible to go anywhere in Japan and not get hungry. Why? Because food stares you in the face at every turn. Nearly every restaurant displays dishes outside for patrons to ogle, but these mouthwatering plates aren't made fresh -- they're plastic!
We traveled Tokyo for a week, scoping sampuru, comparing real dishes to fake ones, eating our fill of noodles and even making our own plastic food model.
