Immerse yourself in a unique aspect of Japanese culture with our replica food experience in Kyoto. This is the only place in the city where you can create your own traditional Japanese “food replicas,” which are lifelike models of food displayed in front of restaurants to showcase their menu items.

In this engaging workshop, you'll learn to make shrimp and pumpkin tempura using melted wax. Pour the wax into hot water and shape it before it hardens, then wrap the shrimp and pumpkin in a realistic-looking batter. The process is challenging but incredibly fun and rewarding. Additionally, you can choose to create a lettuce replica as an option.

Take home your beautifully crafted food sample in packaging that resembles what you'd find in a supermarket. Just remember, these replicas are for display only and should not be served at the dinner table by mistake! This experience is perfect for anyone looking to explore a fascinating facet of Japanese culture and take home a unique souvenir.
