Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

A wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Sarah

I've always wanted to make one of these food samples, and was happy to find this opportunity using the Chika Toku (extra value) system from the Tokyo Metro pass. Although the explanation was in Japanese, the staff made sure I understood what to do and even showed me exactly how to proceed. It was a wonderful experience and a fun way to spend a couple hours.

Reviewed by: DadAndDaughter

The activity was a ton of fun! Me and my 7 year old attended, the instructor was very helpful and friendly with both of us and provided clear guidance and explanations. Our instructor's English was quite capable, and used a translation app to bridge the gap. As for the food samples themselves it was a lot of fun, easy to understand, and the results are super realistic! Great souvenirs!

This was a great experience for crafters of all ages. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their materials, and very receptive to be asked about procedures. There's a tablet with Google Translate available on-hand to help move through any language bumps, and staff was incredibly accommodating towards all levels of Japanese proficiency. I definitely plan to bring english-only friends back here on a future trip.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Reviewed by: susy

I am delighted to write a review for the experience I had with your company. The whole experience was lots of fun, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable activity.

The guide was very helpful and made the whole process of creating plastic models enjoyable and easy to follow. They even took the time to explain the history of plastic models, which added to the experience and made it more meaningful.

I was also very impressed with how the guide interacted with my son. They were very sweet and patient with him and helped him create his own bowl of ramen. My son was thrilled with the result and was proud to show off his creation to everyone.

Overall, I had a fantastic time with your company, and I am grateful for the experience. The guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and fun activity that the whole family can enjoy.

It was a perfectly enjoyable experience in a good way! It lasted about 30 minutes to an hour, and it was neither too difficult nor too easy to the point of being boring; I had a lot of fun. The person who taught us shared various stories, so I was never bored during the short waiting times.

Great little shop! The instructor was very kind, introduced us to the history of samples, thoroughly described all the materials and techniques and guided us through making our sample. We were very happy with the experience and the resulting souvenir! Note that our instructor mostly spoke in Japanese, which was Ok with us, but I believe there are other employees who speak English.

Japanese Ramen Making Experience

Reviewed by: Marisa

Signed the husband up for this experience as he really enjoys ramen! He was a perfect fit for this class since the laying of the ramen noodles, and particular placement of the garnishes are more meticulous. The instructor was very thorough in explaining the materials we would be using, had an example placed next to you on the table so you understood how it would look like. The place is very neat and clean and he really cheers you along as your working on your ramen making.

Looking forward to attending again when back in Tokyo!

I’ve grown up seeing these food displays outside of Japanese restaurants, but never knew how they were made. Found out about this experience from another family traveling through Tokyo and it looked like fun. It was much more fun than expected but definitely not as easy as it looks. Definitely need to channel your creative side.

We hope to do this again the next time we’re in Japan and attempt the tempura experience!

I have always thought of food samples as an image of Japanese culture since I was a child. It was a lot of fun to have the experience of making such food samples. This time, I made a seafood curry rice that can be used as a smartphone stand, and I was impressed by how closely it resembled the real thing. I will definitely try again if I have the opportunity!

Excellent staff who spoke good English. The craft itself is interesting and intricate, and I was told about the history of plastic food and the materials used alongside getting the hands-on experience crafting a very realistic Japanese curry. It's an offbeat activity all ages can enjoy, and something very unique to Japan. I found the price very affordable and would recommend anyone to go. 10/10.

My second grader had a great time! 小学校2年生、とても楽しんでいました！

Reviewed by: なげやり

We visited a food sample experience as a family. When we asked what she wanted to do during Golden Week, my second-grade daughter made the request. She chose ramen. When she saw the samples on the table, she was amazed at how real they looked and was excited at the thought of making it herself, which left a strong impression on me.

With careful explanations provided, she made her own soy sauce ramen without any help from us parents. Being someone who already enjoys crafting, it was her first time softening wax and vinyl with hot water, and she seemed to have a lot of fun.

The finished creations are now displayed on her desk alongside our curry rice and parfait as part of her collection. Thank you for a fun and memorable experience!

家族で伺った食品サンプル体験。ゴールデンウィークにやりたいことを聞いた時にリクエストしたのが小学2年生の娘でした。
彼女が選んだのはラーメン。机に置かれた見本を目にして、本物みたい・・・と驚き、自分がそれを作ると考えてみるからにワクワクしていたのが印象的でした。
丁寧な説明をいただきながら、親の手助けは一切なく、自分でつくった醤油ラーメン。元々工作好きな彼女もロウやビニールをお湯で柔らかくして、というような工程は初めてで、とても楽しんだ様子でした。
仕上がった作品は僕らのカレーライスとパフェと共に娘の机にコレクションとして並べられています。

The curry rice I made for the first time looked very delicious, but I couldn't eat it! はじめてつくったカレーライスは、とても美味しそうにできたけど、食べられなかった！

Reviewed by: なげやり

I experienced this with my family during Golden Week. I made curry rice. I had made it once in elementary school, but I hadn't cooked it myself since then, and I don't cook very often. I had a very enjoyable time participating, holding an image of it being a mix between crafting and cooking.

The process involved shaping materials like wax and vinyl using hot water. The explanations, which included historical context, were very clear, and I genuinely enjoyed the hands-on experience in front of me. Following the instructions and receiving compliments on the spot boosted my confidence, and I was able to enjoy the experience all the way to the end.

As I shaped the softened wax while recalling the characteristics of the vegetables I had simmered, I found that the curry roux was more runny than I had expected, and it flowed into areas I hadn't imagined (they helped me adjust it at the end). Those moments remain a fun memory for me.

I highly recommend this as an activity to do with children in the city!

ゴールデンウィークに家族で体験してきました。
私がつくったのは、カレーライス。小学校の時にクラスで作ったことはあったけど、それ以来自分で作ったことはなく、料理もあまりやらない私です。
工作と料理の間、のようなイメージを持ってとても楽しみにして参加しました。
ロウとビニールの素材をお湯を使って形作っていく作業。歴史的なことも含めながら作業を解説してくれる内容はとてもわかりやすく、純粋に目の前にある工作体験を楽しめました。説明通りにやってみて、その場で褒めてもらえて調子に乗って、楽しい気持ちが膨らみ続けて最後まで体験できました。
お湯で柔らかくなったロウを煮込んだ野菜の特徴を思い出しながら手で形作っていくところ、カレーのルウが思っていたよりサラサラしていて、イメージしていたところ以外のところにも流れ込んでしまったところ（最後に仕上げで調整していただきました）、そんなところが今でも思い出す楽しい体験でした。
都内で子供とできるアクティビティとしておすすめです！

The operator of this class was amazing. The class wasn’t long so it kept my day more open than others, that let me fit in more activities on the day. I learned a bit about the history of Samples and got to make a souvenir that ‘ thanks to the instructors help ‘ came out perfect. Also this was a great place to get souvenirs for everyone back home. Not many souvenirs say Japan better than a plastic sushi key chain.

My child had been wanting to experience making food samples for a while, so we signed up here. We registered for the 11 o'clock session, but the voucher stated that the meeting time was 10 o'clock, so we arrived an hour early. When I explained the situation, they kindly welcomed us in, saying they were ready, which was a relief.

At first, my child seemed a bit nervous, but the staff were very kind and explained everything in detail, and my child appeared to be enjoying it. I was just observing, but I was able to listen to the explanations about the food samples and how to make them, which made me feel like I was participating as well, and it was a lot of fun! They also said we could take photos freely, which made for wonderful memories. Both my child and I were very satisfied!

子供が前々から食品サンプル体験をしたいと言っていたので、こちらで申し込みました。
11時からの回に申し込みましたが、バウチャーで集合時間が10時になっていて、1時間も早く到着してしまいた。事情を説明したところ、準備ができてるので、どうぞと快く迎えてくださりホッとしました。
子供は最初、緊張気味でしたが、とても親切、丁寧に説明して頂き、楽しんでる様子でした。
私は見学でしたが、一緒に食品サンプルについての説明や、作り方の説明も聞けて自分も参加してる気分になり、とても楽しかったです！写真もご自由にどうぞとの事で、とてもいい思い出になりました。

You have to first fill up the base of the sundae cup, then the twirling cream at the top and place your assortments as you wish. The staff carefully checked every steps of the process, also fix any errors professionally. You will be guarenteed a outstanding food sample even for your first try.

As for the advice for future participants, since it takes a while for the food sample to dry off, it is better you plan your activites accordingly. Although, the staff did carefully stabilised the food samples in a provided paper box (in a very meticulous way, props to that) and bag so it was not an issue for us.
