About this Event

Take a mouth-watering journey through the uniquely Japanese phenomenon of shokuhin sanpuru – the unexpectedly realistic food replicas displayed in front of restaurants across Japan.

Offering a rare opportunity outside Japan to see these skilfully-created models up close, this vibrant exhibition explores the history, materials, processes and future potential of the craft.

Each of Japan’s 47 prefectures is represented with a food replica specially commissioned from the world-leading manufacturer Iwasaki Group. Dishes range from Okinawan goya chanpuru (bitter melon stir fry) to the indigenous Ainu ohaw (soup with salmon) from the northern island of Hokkaido.

Taking inspiration from the exhibition, why not create and share your own bento box of replica food, in our interactive zone in the Gallery?

Get even closer by joining one of our free events, including craft and cookery demonstrations, workshops and talks on Japanese food culture. See our What’s On page for details.
