*Update 1: Where?
A famous street called kappabashidori (合羽橋通り) full of shops for selling plastic food and other restaurant essentials. It is located between Ueno and Asakusa stations.
Kappabashi on Wikipedia

*Update 2: Why plastic food?


There are 2 main reasons.

1) Almost all restaurants here have very realistic plastic models for the food they offer. They usually place these in a glass box on the entrance. So these plastic foods are mainly bought by restaurant owners.
This way, when u go to a restaurant, you can see how the dish would look like before you actually order it.

2) Some of these plastic foods have magnets on the back. You can use these as kitchen decorations..on the fridge for example.
