Iwasaki's Ganso Shokuhin Sample-ya

Make your own replica food or sample food (sampuru) out of wax. This shop, in Tokyo's Kappabashi restaurant supply district, offers onsite workshops and at-home DIY kits to make food from wax. Workshops are usually conducted in Japanese. If you don't want to make it yourself, then you can buy the company's readymade options from the store, or order some of the more elaborate pieces for delivery. A souvenir keychain, made from a durable plastic by the company's artisans, will set you back ¥1,000–2,000.
