Looking for a suitably sized mince pie tin, we headed to this area where there are dozens and dozens of shops selling everything to do with food preparation. It is mainly aimed at restaurant operators but the shops also sell to individuals.
Crockery, stainless steel,, lanterns and signs
…. and many shops selling knives
It was a little alarming to see a shop front with a massive cockroach
Of course … this was the imitation food shop! Many restaurants display replicas of their meals outside but this shop also sold keyrings so that people like me can have their own mini food collection.

So that’s where the plastic food comes from! Did they have a big selection??
They sell a small range there, but is made in Gujo Hachiman, a couple of hours to the west of Tokyo. Here bespoke imitation food of specific restaurant dishes are made. One of my favourite things in Tokyo xx
