Plastic Food Models, Shinjuku Restaurant
September 24th, 2008 at 12:00 am (Photography)
A convenient feature at many restaurants are the plastic food models on display outside. We did not encounter many English speakers, so it was nice to be able to point at what we wanted and have a pretty good idea of what we were going to get. If there weren’t plastic models, sometimes we got lucky and the menu had pictures or had an English version. Every meal I ate there was delicious; I never quite got over feeling awkward about not knowing more Japanese, but it was worth it to eat so well. Tokyo, Japan. August 2008.
