I recently visited Japan and saw all the amazing food models at the local restaurants. I was able to buy a few while I was there. One of the vendors gave me Fake Food Japan's web site and I liked the looks of the quality of the displays including sizes available. I was really impressed with the models I received. Good quality and the correct portion sizes (very important in my job). I have gotten great feed back from my patients and co-workers on how realistic the models are. "Good enough to eat", "Makes me hungry just looking at them", etc. I teach diabetic patients and their families about responsible eating. Seeing models make the portion sizes more understandable versus saying a portion of rice is 1/3 cup or 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Any one who teaches nutrition should look at purchasing these models.
