A food artist is taking the miniature food trend to the next level by creating little, intricate replicas of Japanese dishes.

Osaka's Chikoto Kawakami is creating cookies with such amazing icing skills, you'd swear they were actual miniature dishes.

Kawakami's cookies are made with icing sugar, and her Instagram account is overflowing with mouthwatering replicas of traditional Japanese dishes such as pork katsudon, sushi sets, soba noodles and chirashi don.

Her account is pretty new too, just started about half a year ago.

While her Japanese dish creations are incredibly cute, she's displayed her skill creating beautiful miniature cakes and desserts -- all the size of a pinky.
