Wax Food Samples

Tokyo’s Kappabashi is a popular spot for overseas visitors, who come to see the area’s shops selling restaurant equipment. One of the things they particularly like is the authentic-looking food samples and cutlery. In Japan, many restaurants display such colorful samples in a menu showcase to facilitate food selection. I suppose eateries whose food displays are allowed to become faded and grimy might have equally unsanitary kitchens, and are best avoided.
