History of Fake Food
Fake food is something that is not frequently seen outside of Japan. However, in recent times, it becomes a hot topic among travelers. Made with such attention to detail, they were erroneously mistaken to be the real thing, and in Japan, it is almost like an art. You can easily find fake food being displayed in restaurants across the streets in Japan.
There are various theories as to when fake food first came into existence, but many believe that it was created somewhere between the late Taisho period (1912 – 1926) and the early Showa period (1926 – 1989). At that time, when customers attempted to order food, they found it difficult to imagine dishes just from their menu descriptions. Fake food was created from that with the intention of lining up food samples that looked exactly like the real thing, which would make it easier for customers to make orders, improving the restaurant’s business.
Also, imagine what would happen if a hungry person came across a display case filled with fake food that looked exactly like the real thing…? The answer is they will definitely want to drop by those restaurants! For both customers and restaurants, fake food was an incredible invention.
