Immerse yourself in the world of Japanese culture with a Matcha Parfait Food Replica Workshop in Osaka. Japan’s ultra-realistic fake food, known as “shokuhin sampuru,” is a world-renowned artisan craft that proudly originated right here in Osaka. In this hands-on workshop, become the artisan and bring your own high-quality, long-lasting Matcha Parfait replica to life with your own hands.
Upon entering our cosy, welcoming creative studio, be greeted by our fun and friendly staff who will guide you step-by-step through the traditional techniques used by replica makers. Learn the secrets of making realistic food replicas, starting by colouring a pre-molded faux waffle to give it a perfectly baked look, crafting your own realistic matcha ice cream, and piping cream to build beautiful layers.
From there, customise your parfait with faux whipped cream and green tea toppings, adding realistic textures and parts like miniature Japanese mochi (shiratama). Learn the precise piping techniques required to make the cream look soft, fluffy, and freshly served. Customise the arrangement to make a masterpiece that reflects your personal style.
The final product looks so incredibly delicious and realistic that your friends and family back home won't believe it's actually made of durable craft materials. Best of all, you can safely pack your masterpiece into a box and take it home with you right on the same day!
To celebrate your creation, every participant gets a special turn at the Unique Capsule Gift Game. Experience Japan's famous “gachapon” culture first-hand by spinning the capsule machine to win a special prize or unique Japanese souvenir to take home alongside your parfait.
