tiny.toes.n.pawz Often times, Japanese Restaurants will have sample food placed in a display window outside of their entrance showcasing all of the menu dishes they offer. The costumer then knows exactly what they are getting when they walk in. Emma and I had a great time making these plastic/wax food dishes, which now made us very hungry. @yamato_sample.
