A local would say...

You can buy the hyper-realistic plastic food samples that sit in restaurant windows all across Japan.

This entire street is devoted to restaurant supplies, and it's a goldmine for anyone who cooks. You'll find hand-forged knives sharp enough to split a hair, lacquered bento boxes, ceramic sake cups, and the famously realistic plastic food samples that sit in restaurant windows across Japan. The knife shops alone are worth the trip — some vendors will engrave your blade while you wait. It's one of those only-in-Tokyo experiences that feels both deeply practical and totally surreal.
