FAQs
Are Japanese food replicas still made from wax?
1
Traditional Japanese food replicas were originally made from wax, but today, many are made from resin and other synthetic materials.
At our workshop, we use resin to create life-size, realistic food replicas. Rather than shaping clay by hand, you will experience the techniques used to recreate the appearance of real food at a 1:1 scale. This is your chance to discover the craftsmanship behind Japan’s unique food replica culture!
Can I make a food replica if I have no experience or artistic skills?
2
Of course! No special artistic skills are needed to enjoy making Japanese food replicas. Our workshops are a fun way to experience this unique aspect of Japanese culture, whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about how food replicas are made.
Can I join the workshop alone? Are male visitors welcome?
3
Of course! Solo visitors are welcome, and male visitors are equally welcome to join. Whether you are travelling alone, exploring Japanese culture, or simply looking for a unique experience, you can enjoy making your own food replica at your own pace.
How is your workshop different from other food replica shops in Tokyo and Osaka?
4
We offer over 70 different menu options, giving you far more variety to choose from than most food replica workshops. Depending on your chosen item, the experience takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours to complete.
Most importantly, we offer a complete hands-on experience, where you create your food replica from start to finish. Rather than simply assembling pre-made parts, you can enjoy the full creative process and discover the techniques behind making realistic Japanese food replicas.
