Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

The kids loved this unique craft experience

Reviewed by: Emily

The kids didn’t know what to expect but afterwards they raved about this experience. They made the regular sized parfait and enjoyed choosing the decorations first with a sample parfait, then pouring in the silicon icecream and arranging the decorations. The man helping was very friendly and patient. It was great to have this experience which we probably couldn’t do anywhere else in the world!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Lovely experience

Reviewed by: Jess

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our experience; the teacher was so friendly, patient and genuine, and we got to do so many steps when making the ramen bowl. It was not stressful at all, and we wish we had brought our parents along too. Also loved the wide variety of items we could purchase after! So much more meaningful buying from here than Donki / other places whom you don’t know who made them.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Really a hidden gem

Reviewed by: Max

I've now been to Yamato Sample twice and tried two different kits, and I can confidently say this is one of the most unique and fun experiences I've had on my trips to the country! This is a good place to both try your hand at crafting as well as learn a bit about techniques used to make realistic food.

The craftsmen that help you are, as you can imagine, incredibly knowledgeable and have a great sense of humor; additionally, they have a nice lil shop near the front that shows some of their more intricate works that are for sale. I have tons of friends that are constantly planning their own trips to Japan and this is one of the few places I always recommend to them.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Such a pleasant experience!!

Reviewed by: Nicole G.

I just made my own bowl of ramen this weekend and I was helped by one of the workers, Ryou. He was so sweet!! He was able to communicate effectively in English, showed me every step with patience, rooted me on, and even offered to take photos/videos of me throughout the process. After I was finished making my bowl, it took only about 5 minutes for it to dry and I was ready to go!

They also have an area where they sell fake food goodies, and I bought myself some gyoza earrings. It was an easy, quick walk from the station. If you’re into fake food, definitely recommend!!

An amazing and unique experience!

Reviewed by: kaywaiian

We had a magnificent time with our instructor for the food class! He was instructive, patient, and made the experience the best it could be. You can really tell he loves what he does, and teaching people about it. If we ever come back to Japan, we will definitely be taking another class.

I also want to note: these classes can be taken in English is need be. Our instructor apologized for his “bad English” - and then spoke perfect English the whole time. I was like “no- WE apologize for OUR bad Japanese >_<“

Great fun for all ages. I took my husband and his guy friend, and they loved it more than they thought. Just 10/10 experience.

Reviewed by: Barbara

Owner and stuff were amazingly friendly and took the time to explain the instructions. I laughed when one of the staff members to please flatten the ramen noodles like a frisbee. These are awesome souvenirs and me and the boyfriend enjoyed it a lot. It's a unique experience for sure. The class itself doesn't take too long, maybe 30-40 minutes? It depends on how many things you're making and if the instructor is busy. If you have the chance, i highly recommend this experience! You take your product home right away, they packaged my deluxe parfait very carefully in a box and then into a bag to take home. It'll take 24 hours for the silicone (the "whipped cream" to fully harden.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Lexi

I booked this experience for my boyfriend's birthday as he's a big fan of plastic food, so we wanted to learn how to make it and try it out for ourselves. If you're worried that this experience may only be fun for kids or families, we're both in our early 30s and had a really fun time of it!

The owner told us about the history of the craft while he taught us how to make our plastic fried rice, and it was really interesting to learn about!

They have a lot of fun trinkets and jewelry for sale as well that make amazing gifts for friends and family!

Would highly recommend this experience for anyone interested.

Great and unique experience making sample food. Booking online was straight-forward and easy as well :) Do note that to purchase additional in-store merchandise (sample food made by the store eg keychains) require cash, which we unfortunately did not bring. Otherwise, the course itself was engaging, straight-forward, and fun even for adults. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent and fun activity

Reviewed by: Renee

Looking for something to do other than visiting temples, sightseeing, eating, or shopping? Show off your creative talent (you really dont need any!) by making your own sample food. This is a great family activity geared to all ages and skill levels and you learn a bit about the history of sample food. Keep in mind that you are not making samples from scratch. Rather some items such as the noodles and toppings are pre-made and you're basically molding them and placing the items to create your final product. Our group created different items - sushi candle, fried rice, Ramen and pizza clock - and everyone was thrilled with our creations! What a great souvenir to take home. Staff was very friendly, kind, supportive, and more importantly, patient in helping all of us. Try it out for yourself!

I received a warm welcome and the workshop was comfortable. My guide was kind and knowledgeable and happily helped me when I needed it.
I was pleased with my end product (the ramen bowl) and my guide packaged it very well in a secure box.
I would come back again to complete some of the other food options like the parfait.

I definitely recommend this activity. It doesn't take too long, isn't very messy and the end result looks great.

Enjoyable experience

Reviewed by: William

The most important thing is being able to communicate in English, and the teacher delivered! Instructions were clear, and kept us engaged.

Some of the materials were ready to go, so do not expect the satisfaction of crafting something from scratch, but its difficulty is suitable for travellers.

You should also read the posters on the wall, and you could see some advice from previous players.

I'd rate the experience 10/10!
(Personally think fried rice is more enjoyable than ramen)
