Tomoko’s food art seems too precious to eat. Therefore, we were curious what the artist thinks about them being eaten after so much work went into making them.“All of my art is created with the intention of being eaten. I don’t use unnatural coloring, and I simply add a creative touch to everyday foods. Sometimes, I create pieces that I even feel like keeping as decorations, but after taking a photo, we eat them as usual. My goal is for everyone to enjoy and have fun while eating my creations,” explained Tomoko.
