When you are in Japan, you will notice so called "food samples" at many restaurants. They are usually made of wax and some of them are extremely well done. Sometimes they look much better than real foods because of their gloss and bright colors.

I think a lot of travelers coming to Japan who doesn't know much about Japanese food would appreciate this custom. You know what it looks like after it is cooked, at least.

These are the pictures I shot 3 years ago in a Soba(buckwheat noodle) restaurant. One of them is the picture printed on the menu and another one is actual noodle I had. Can you tell which is which?
