If you've ever been to Japan and seen the superb food replica dishes they have in front of restaurants there, you'll know just how amazingly realistic they can be. Now Londoners are going to get a chance to see this kind of artistry up close in a new exhibition opening at Japan House in Kensington.
Looks Delicious! features 47 specially commissioned food replicas, one from each of Japan's prefectures. The exhibition's curators worked with the Iwasaki Group in Japan to create fake dishes ranging from Okinawan goya chanpuru (bitter melon stir fry) to Ainu ohaw (soup with salmon) from the northern island of Hokkaido.
As part of the show visitors will get the chance to create their own bento box of replica food and there will also be workshops where you can make your own food samples.
