And this is the food sample place.

ここは食品サンプル工房で、

And this time we're going to make some!

今回は体験をします

Japan does this awesome thing where many restaurants have fake food replicas in display cases

日本のレストランは食品サンプルを並べている所が多く、

outside the restaurant so you can actually see what you can order before you go inside.

入店前に注文の参考になります

Isn't this amazing?

種類も豊富で

How is this not the real thing?!

職人の手作りです

These things are everywhere!

プラスチックとビニール等で出来ています

They’re all hand made by shokunin (aka craftsmen)

見た目も本物そっくりで、驚きます

out of materials like plastic and vinyl.

食品サンプルではありませんが、

They’re insanely realistic! How awesome are these, like seriously!

お正月の番組の１コーナーで

This isn’t the only food fake out Japan likes to do, though.

スイーツを日用品に似せて作り

Every New Year on one of Japan’s most famous holiday programs,

それを本物と並べ

shokunin will fill a room with standard daily goods that are half made out of food

タレントがスイーツだと思ったものを

and half, well, real items.

かじって当てます

And then talento will have to guess which ones are made out of food…

一番好きな正月番組の一つで

by biting into them!

もし、機会があれば面白いので見てみて下さい

It's one of my favorite shows to watch during the New Year.

閑話休題

If you're ever here, I recommend looking into it.

ここ、郡上八幡では食品サンプル工房があり

Buuuut back to the food samples!

制作過程を見学・体験できます。

Here in Gujo Hachiman there’s a store/factory where you can buy some,

体験！

make them yourself, or watch them being created.

準備はいかが、Junシェフ？

Woah!

天ぷらの料理動画で同じの使ったよ

OUR TURN!

本物もこんな風にできたら良いのに

Are you ready, chef Jun? :D

短時間で出来るから？

Which ingredients should I pick?

そう、手を油に突っ込んでさ

Shrimp.

天ぷらとレタスのサンプル

Shrimp?

スイーツ

You know you can't eat it, right? lol

苺？

I love shrimp.

苺とキウイをメインで

And shiso leaves?

いい感じだね

This is exactly what I used for my cooking video.

でしょ、可愛くない？

The ingredients you just picked are all made of PVC

スノーグローブみたい

so you can bend it like this.

アイスクリーム

But the batter we'll use is made of wax,

既に美味そう

so touch it gently while making since it comes apart easily.

味見してみたら？

This is the batter we'll use.

世界初になれるかもよ？

It's 60ºC (140ºF) but it won't burn your hands so don't worry.

もう完璧にマスターしたよ

We'll pour this batter into this warm water.

今回訪れた場所以外にも

Here you go.

旅行先を検討する際に役立つので

Pour it zig-zag.

Odigoをチェックしてみて下さい

It really smells like a candle.

今年中にメンバーで47都道府県を巡りますので、

Well, it is wax.

是非、参考にしてみてください

Shape the batter.

私達は半数以下を巡りますが、

Now flip it over.

Then wrap the shrimp gently.

I wish I could make real shrimp like this.

That quickly you mean?

Yeah, put my hands in freaking hot oil...

Good job.

Thank you. It's all thanks to you.

Now we'll make a lettuce leaf.

Pinch the corner like this.

This part is not hot at all.

Then pull it down in the water,

and shake it towards you.

Then you get a lettuce leaf.

Pull it up now.

It's kind of thin.

Get rid of the water.

Fake tempura and lettuce.

I'm starving...

Please pick five types of fruit.

As for pineapple, blue berry, and chocolate,

the side that's completely flat is the back.

So, place the blue berry like this.

You can decorate your dessert with whipped cream, too.

Are you gonna do strawberry?

I'm definitely using strawberries, and kiwi.

This is the glue, so make sure you pour enough of it in the cup.

That looks really cool.

I know, isn't it cute?

It looks like a globe (snow globe).

Food globe?

That looks so good.

Why don't you try it.

Maybe you'll be the first person in the world.

Pour it all over.

That's good.

You see it's becoming white.

Yeah!

Master strawberry food sample maker.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I'm looking forward to see you again.

Wow! This is cool.
