I would definitely eat these edamame if I didn't know they were fake

I know they look good—but don't forget we're at a food replica shop

Food replicas, synthetic food showcased in restaurants and cafes, are a field of art invented in Japan. Kappabashi in Tokyo is especially famous for selling and making them. But you can also experience making food replicas in Fukuoka. Riki has several food replica making sessions, and you'll be able to experience making all kinds of food. The skillful, kind, and fun staff guide you throughout the session. You'll have an amazing time and take home a unique souvenir!
