Description

Create your own realistic Japanese food sample at our indoor workshop near Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa. Food samples are a unique part of Japanese restaurant culture, and this hands-on craft lets you make a cute, photogenic souvenir to take home from Tokyo. Choose from fun menu options such as omelette rice, meat sauce spaghetti, crepe, or jelly parfait. With an English instruction sheet and friendly staff support, first-time guests can enjoy the process step by step. The experience is easy to join and enjoyable for a wide range of guests, from couples and friends to families with children. Food sample making is also a popular hands-on craft among Japanese elementary school students, making it a fun and approachable activity for kids as well. While your food sample sets, relax with an included non-alcoholic drink. Once it is ready, take photos and bring your handmade creation home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir from Japan. If you select the meal-included option, you can enjoy the real version of the same dish you made. Place your food sample next to the real food and capture fun comparison photos.
