Nagao Shokken, founded in 1981, is a leading company in Japan’s food sample industry. Starting with creating realistic food replicas for restaurant displays, they’ve since expanded into playful, functional items like phone stands and bookmarks. Each product, whether a seaweed bookmark or a pancake phone stand, reflects their meticulous craftsmanship, replicating food with stunning detail.
In Japan, shokuhin sampuru (food samples) are a cultural tradition, crafted to visually represent meals in restaurant windows. These highly realistic replicas are a staple in Japan, known for their lifelike appearance, allowing diners to experience a meal with their eyes first. Nagao Shokken continues this tradition, bringing the charm of Japanese food artistry into everyday life through their unique, beautifully crafted products.
