When you first arrive in Japan, one thing you’re certain to notice is the existence of oddly realistic plastic food displayed in a case near a restaurant’s entrance, as in the crepe shop below. While at first it looks cheesy, with time you grow accustomed and learn to appreciate this consumer friendly practice that aids in managing dining expectations.
On a completely different topic, when you first arrive in our neighborhood you’re certain to notice a prevalence of small dogs with extensive wardrobes that seemingly live pampered lives. Case in point, in the last two months two dog and cat establishments selling everything foo foo for your pet have opened near our main street. Last night I noticed the convergence of the two, plastic food and pets. In the window of the gaudy pet accessory shop on our corner, a display of plastic dog food elegantly graces the shelf next to the cold weather couture.
