Very friendly staff, worthy every moment spent here.

Reviewed by: Calvin, 2020/01/24

The overal experience with this activity is marvelous. The staff is very friendly and patience in introducing the activity, as well as some history of the Food Sample Culture in Japan, which is a bonus point. You can tell he is very enthusiastic and enjoying this experience. Just an extra note, we communicated without any issue in English.

You get to choose your five pieces of colourful assorted accessories for your sundae. The cup of the sundae and the colourful jam at the bottom will be provided. You have to first fill up the base of the sundae cup, then the twirling cream at the top and place your assortments as you wish. The staff carefully checked every steps of the process, also fix any errors professionally. You will be guarenteed a outstanding food sample even for your first try.

As for the advice for future participants, since it takes a while for the food sample to dry off, it is better you plan your activites accordingly. Although, the staff did carefully stabilised the food samples in a provided paper box (in a very meticulous way, props to that) and bag so it was not an issue for us.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Interesting class, nice tutor.

Reviewed by: Maggie Leung, 2019/05/30

The tutor is so nice and his English is easy to understand. We feel a little bit strange when we are on the way because it is located in residential area. However, the image changed when we get into the classroom.

The tools are well prepared, instructions are clear, the tutor is very nice. And the most important thing is we like our product so much!

Just one concerning point for foreigners that we need to buy some boxes to store our product well. Or else, we are not able to bring them to our home safely since we need to take flight.

The total experience is amazing. I will recommend it to my friends. I'd also like to try other food sample classes from this tutor when I travel to Tokyo later.

Fun Plastic Craft in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Stevie, 2019/04/24

This workshop was easy to find, using google maps. It is a small, family-run business. We were welcomed warmly and given excellent instructions on how to put together our sample foods. My husband created sushi, my daughter (8) and I made sundaes.

We all had a great time, love our unique souvenirs, and would recommend this experience to others. It takes about a day to dry/set, but is well packaged for flying home.

The sample industry is 90+ years old, so taking part in this is trying a piece of Japanese culture.

Go! Have Fun!

  • Instructions

  • My daughter's finished sundae

  • Pouring wax into moulds

  • Squeezing silicon into cup

  • Choosing toppings!

  • Happy customers!

Fun family experience

Reviewed by: David, 2019/04/17

The owner and staff were extremely nice and helpful during our time creating fake desserts. We got to make our own designs and the instructor explained the whole process and helped guide my kids in creating their own Ice cream sundaes. The owner also showed us different foods and types of samples and their history. Going from wax to now PVC and plastics. We enjoyed their hospitality and the experience overall was awesome. Kids couldn’t wait until there samples were dry which took only 24 hours. They packaged it up in protective boxes for us for the train ride back to our hotel. Definitely recommend!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Excellent for day-trips or as a short activity!

Reviewed by: Kiko, 2019/04/04

I made two separate reservations, as my group was split between wanting to make different things. The instructor was friendly and could give instructions in English. He was very encouraging and made our experience stress-free.

The location was much smaller than I expected, about the size of a studio apartment. There are "blanks" you can use to help you plan the layout of your sample. There's some room for error, so it's ok if you don't get everything how you want it the first time.

It took about 45 min for us to finish our samples. Bigger samples, like ramen and tempura looked like they'd take closer to 90 mins. This activity would be perfect between major plans, like killing time in the afternoon before dinner plans, or as a detour from Ikebukuro.

Advice: tie back long hair and wear short sleeves.

My 11yo son made the curry...and it looked so real! The steps were easy enough for him to do on his own. The couple doing the lessons were so nice and patient. We don't speak Japanese, so he tried his best to explain what he could in English. He also used a Pocket Talk to translate. We wish we could have gone back another day to do it again!

Worth the trek!

Reviewed by: Wandering American , 2019/03/14

The sample workshop is tucked away in a residential neighborhood, but it was easy enough to find. We were a little worried whether the trip would be worth it as we made our way to the studio, but our fears were laid to rest when we were greeted enthusiastically by the owner who really made the experience priceless. My kids loved learning about how the samples are made and making their own. We had a blast!

Most of the items are pre made and you simply need to put them together with some simple instructions. Good for family activity. Samples turn out realistic! The best part are the instructors, extremely friendly and accommodating. Tried their best to communicate in simple English and was sooooo polite. Thumbs up for them!

My favourite experience of the holiday!

Reviewed by: Fancypantsrodgers, 2018/06/18

I loved everything about this experience. The shop/factory is situated in a lovely little area of Tokyo (near Kita-Ikebukuro station) - easy to get to, and very welcoming on arrival. Our teacher did not speak much English, but was so helpful and demonstrated everything we needed to do. He also borrowed a translator from his colleague to ask us about our holiday plans and to recommend activities.

Myself and my friend came away with our beautiful miniature sundaes, and also some other purchases from the shop for friends and family. Absolutely delightful! Do make this a part of your trip to Japan.

One of the best things we did in Japan

Reviewed by: Faerirose, 2018/05/30

I vacationed with a group of 5 people and for the plastic food experience we made a total of 4 different items: full size parfait, mini sundae, ramen, and fruit tart. We had a blast.
The staff explained well in English and helped and guided when we had problems (not big problems and they were problems of our own making as non-professionals - they fixed an overworked piece of wax and guided a better parfait swirl).
The atmosphere there was really fun and energetic. There are 4 tables in workshop 3 so other people are making stuff at the same time. Our food turned out wonderfully. We would absolutely do the plastic food activity again.
