OUR FISH-SHAPED PANCAKES

THEY smell sooooooooo good!

In front of this neighborhood Japanese cake shop, there is always a long line waiting for these baked fish-shaped pancakes. This unique dessert is called "TAIYAKI"(Tai means sea bream, Yaki means to bake). Our popular dessert. I don't know whether young people often eat this now,though. Usually, bean-paste is filled inside pancakes. with cream or cheese is also tasty.

But please think deeply.., why are they fish-formed? they look really weird but cool.. Also there is an iron pan especially for baking them.
Maybe, because Tai(=sea bream) is a mascot of good luck in Japan. So people eat and enjoy them for good luck.

we often tend to walk without much attention on the street.
BUt there is always something new and interesting even in the
daily, familiar sight. what a beautiful thing..!

REPLICA FOOD

HOW do you decide the restaurant to have delicious dishes?
By internet, guidebooks, ....or your friends' reccomendation?
Usualy, restaurants and cafe have own menu put at the entrance.
But, do you think it's pretty good if you could check how dishes look like before you entre the restaurant?

then REPLICA FOOD fulfills your demand!

the photo below is one of them, often found on the streets in Japan.

it is said that this culture is very unique and originated in Japan. almost impossible to find anywhere around the world.

they are so close replica, almost similar to the real dishes.

the reason why this idea has been born, maybe because it is hard to put the real dishes outside at the entrance for a long time. They get worse and doesn't look tasty.

However, in this way, restaurants' managers can always try to attract guests passing by.

Because FOOD MODEL never get spoiled!
