Food samples




Food samples have now become one of Japan's most iconic tourist souvenirs. Japanese food samples are so intricately crafted that foreign tourists seeing them for the first time mistake them for real food. Crafted from wax by artisans with passion and dedication, these samples are truly one-of-a-kind food sculptures. Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street is home to four stores specializing in food samples. Entering the store, you'll find sushi, cakes, udon, takoyaki, various fruits, and more, all packed into a tightly packed display, making you feel like you've wandered into a food wonderland straight out of a fairy tale. Design Pocket, located in the shopping street, also offers a food sample making experience, and walk-ins are welcome if there are spaces available.
