6 Cute Sushi Knickknacks
Making realistic fake food is an art form in Japan, mostly carefully crafted by highly skilled artisans in Osaka, where the fake food industry began in 1932. Creating fake food remains a big industry here, where life-size dishes are often displayed in front of restaurants to tempt people inside and help them make their choices.
