FAKE FOOD in OKINAWA

FAKE FOOD !!! — Yeah, you know it, and you love it. Those "wax food" meals, drinks, and pastries seen in display cases in front of so many restaurants on Okinawa.

Some are under the mistaken impression that all of this "wax food" comes from mainland Japan, and is hard to find or buy. This is only true for most of the mainland chain restaurants on Okinawa that bring their made-in-Japan fake food displays with them.

HOWEVER, most Okinawan restaurants get their FAKE FOOD from right here on Okinawa, from the only place in Okinawa that makes these goodies.

The Yara Family in Naha has been turning this stuff out for the past 35 years, and their high-tech, flexible polymer artistry exceeds that of the mainland artisans whose traditional wax creations have a tendency to slowly melt and deform in Okinawa’s tropical climate.

And YES, they have a little-known retail store on the premises, where you may purchase their hand-made creations. Need a timeless bowl of Pork-Rib Soba or some Taco Rice as a rare souvenir of Okinawa ? How about just a refrigerator magnet, or a piece of bacon to dangle from your cell phone ?

From Pastry to Pasta, from Sausage to Soba, they make it all, piece by piece, right here.

Expect to pay anywhere from ¥500 to ¥5000 yen for any item. If they are out of any creation, it will take a week or so for them to make a new one.

Remember, these are NOT low-quality, blow-molded plastic "toys". These are heavy, serious works of art that are usually intended for commercial display.

If you have ever been fascinated by these "Fake Foods", you are living in a good place to get it at the source, made by Okinawan sculptors and artists, with theme-specific menu items to match your Okinawan experience.

♥ As for me, I picked up a realistic bowl of Soba noodles topped with "san-mai niku" bacon, fish cake, red ginger, and sliced green-onion leaves, in a high-quality ceramic bowl — all of it hand-made — and only the size of a silver dollar ! It set me back ¥1,200. A little over 10 bucks. It’s now hanging from my car key. 🙂

Enjoy the pics, and have fun visiting their little store between Kokusai Street and Route 330 in Naha (they are right under the Monorail).

Wer schon einmal eine Styropor-Platte gebogen hat, kennt das Phänomen: Die Platte kann brechen und kleine Kügelchen fliegen umher. Anders ist das bei Platten aus E-por®, denn der Schaumstoff ist biegsamer und zäher. Hergestellt wird er durch ein neues Produktionsverfahren der BASF. Verarbeitet wird er wie Styropor: Kleine, mit dem Treibmittel Pentan gefüllte Kunststoffgranulate werden mit Wasserdampf aufgeschäumt – dabei bläht sich der Schaumstoff auf das 30-Fache seines ursprünglichen Volumens auf. Die aufgeschäumten Partikel werden dann erneut mit Wasserdampf in der gewünschten Form miteinander verschweißt. Dank der verwendeten Inhaltsstoffe wird der Schaumstoff stabiler. Das ist besonders nützlich für Verpackungen von wertvollen Geräten wie etwa großen Flachbildschirmen oder auch Solarkollektoren. Die 200 bis 400 Mikrometer großen, luftgefüllten Zellen des Schaumstoffs puffern die bei einem Sturz oder Stoß entstehende Energie ab – und das auch mehrere Male hintereinander. Dadurch kommen die Produkte unbeschädigt und funktionsfähig beim Endverbraucher an. Wenn kleine Kügelchen große Dinge schützen, dann ist das Chemie, die verbindet. Von BASF.

If you’ve ever bent a Styropor panel you’ll be familiar with the phenomenon: the panel can break causing tiny granules to fly through the air. Panels made of E-por® are different because the foam is tougher and more flexible. It is manufactured using a new BASF production process. It is processed like Styropor: small plastic granules filled with the blowing agent pentane are foamed with steam – as a result the foam swells to 30 times its original volume. The expanded particles are then fused together again with steam in the required mould. Thanks to the components used the foam is more stable. This is particularly useful for the packaging of high-quality products, such as large flat screen televisions or solar collectors. The 200 to 400 micrometer sized air-filled cells of the foam cushion the energy generated by a fall or shock – even several times in a row. This means the products reach the end consumer undamaged and fully functional. When tiny granules protect big things, it’s because at BASF we create chemistry.

3D Erasers – Twin Mill III
high-quality plastic moulding

Couldn’t think of any catchy title for it…

Anyway, found this in a "China-shop" where all things were tagged with "Made in China" and sold for a bargain price. It came in card and plastic mould with another fancy looking car, and available in a variety of bright cheerful colours; green-yellow, red-yellow etc. No Mattel or Hot Wheels logo or copyright statement can be found, not even the manufacturer’s name, as expected lol. A high quality copy nonetheless. It can be disassembled part by part and everything fits perfectly into its place, something the real Hot Wheels can’t do hmph… (Will upload a picture of it disassembled soon)

A unique addition to my collection, though it will not sit alongside the rest of the real ones. Found it useful for something else instead.
