I happened to accidentally stumble into a plastic food store while in Osaka a few months ago. I just looked up the name, and they have a web storefront! [1]
Admittedly all in Japanese, but the top part of the side bar shows you examples of pure fake foods, then the section under the "Sale" box gets you to fake-food style accessories, like USB drives, phone cases, and hair clips. Lots of pictures there to show the variety and quality!
(Edit: Sorry if this reads like a shill, I have no affiliation, and didn't even buy anything while I was there! Just took very touristy pictures.)

- bitwize 3y agoWhen I was in Osaka I accidentally stumbled into what looked like a model store. There were all sorts of display cases with all sorts of models, from airplanes from WWII and before to futuristic mecha. All kind of jumbled together without any sort organization by type or manufacturer. Then it hit me. I was not in a model store but a model display case store. All those hobbyists would need a way to display their models and this store fit just that need. I know a lady from Osaka who responded, when I said I'd be excited to return there: "Really? It's so boring here!" If she only knew. And to bring it full circle, her sister-in-law hand-makes fake food.
