About the Event
The first U.S. exhibition dedicated to "shokuhin sampuru," Japan's astonishingly realistic food replicas.
Looks Delicious! | Exploring Japan's Food Replica Culture is the first U.S. exhibition dedicated to shokuhin sampuru, Japan's astonishingly realistic food replicas. Found in restaurant windows across the country, these handcrafted models are so lifelike they're often mistaken for the real thing. Originating in the early 20th century, food replicas were first made from wax to showcase unfamiliar dishes in department store restaurants. Today, they're crafted from durable resins and have become a beloved part of Japanese dining culture, also appearing as novelty items like keychains and phone cases. Visitors can explore seven themed areas, learn about the history and craftsmanship of food replicas, and even create their own bentō to photograph and share. Learn more: JapanHouseLA.com
