Miniature Japanese Foods OMG

A few years back someone named Mena Trott decided to make miniature donuts. It's still one of my favorite random things from her dollarshort.org days because, who would make miniature donuts?

I now have a better answer than "Mena Trott." The correct answer is "Mena Trott and the Japanese."

I obtained these amazing miniatures from our local Mitsuwa:

The level of detail is incredible. Each of these is just about a half-inch high or so - the potstickers even have sauce with them. I just about flipped out when I saw a shelf full of these - and they even had a $20 miniature grocery store shelving kit!

Restraint kept me to just one box. It includes what you see above, a chiclet of gum (meh), and little signs for the shelving kit.

Impressively, these are made by a company called Re-Ment and they have American food too. Check it out. And, yes, donuts and coffee, complete with mini-sugar packets. (!)

I love this miniature food stuff, and am going to try very hard not to buy them all.
