Midori Miniature Magnet Yakitori
The Midori Miniature Magnet Yakitori depicts a classic Japanese grilled skewer as a three-dimensional miniature made from resin – with hand-applied paint and high-resolution inkjet printing that captures the glazed surface and caramelised meat texture of yakitori in miniature format. Built-in neodymium magnet holds reliably despite its compact size. The window-box packaging makes the magnet collectible and display-ready.
Features
- Three-step manufacturing technique: resin moulding creates the three-dimensional form, high-resolution inkjet printing applies colour and texture, and finishing hand-painting highlights details such as gloss spots and roasted browning.
- Integrated neodymium magnet – holds up to five sheets of paper, including notepads, photographs or folded A4 pages, without slipping.
- Compact dimensions of approximately 48.5 × 48.5 × 16 mm: fits on narrow refrigerator strips or densely populated magnetic boards without obscuring adjacent magnets.
- Window-box packaging in paper (hook-compatible hanging attachment) – protects the miniature and allows storage in original packaging as part of a collection.
- Part of a Midori food magnet series depicting various classic Japanese dishes – collectable and interchangeable with one another.
Use & Tips
- On the refrigerator: holds shopping lists, recipe cards or Polaroid photographs – the yakitori shape complements a Japanese-inspired kitchen aesthetic.
- On an office board or magnetic wall: secures appointment notes or mood boards; the compact depth of 16 mm doesn't obstruct the way.
- As part of a miniature magnet collection: the Midori series includes further Japanese dishes – several motifs arranged side by side on a white metal surface create a thematically cohesive display.
- The window-box packaging can be hung directly using a hook, such as a pinboard hook or shelf rail – keeping the miniature visible without being glued or left loose.
For Miniaturists and Japan Enthusiasts
Yakitori – literally "grilled bird" – refers in Japanese street food to chicken pieces skewered and grilled over charcoal, seasoned with tare sauce or salt. Midori translates this everyday culture into a collectible miniature scale: the combination of resin moulding, inkjet printing and hand-painting is the same technique used in high-quality food samples (Japanese: "shokuhin sampuru") – though made from vinyl resin and at 1:1 scale. The miniature magnet applies these same principles in greatly reduced format and appeals to all who appreciate this aesthetic of deceptively authentic replica models.
