Re-ment American Kitchen

I moved the kitchen set up from my Ikea glass cabinet and displayed in this diorama so I could reach everything and play with them. Today I used it as the background to take photos of this set: American Kitchen.


As a Japanese collectable toy manufacturer, Re-ment did great job creating miniatures in Asian theme. It has only released two sets of American theme so far: American Kitchen and Dreamy American Life. Re-ment also made sincere effort to design the American theme. It exceeds my expectation indeed. I got the 'Ameican Kitchen set' from Jauce and it was secondhand. But it seemed really new when I opened it so I'm happy. There are 10 boxes in this set as usual.


The paper notes in this set are very special. The sealing stamp on each envelope is different according to the content.

When you open them you see different roles on the back of the sealing stamps indicating the person who wrote the message.

Here is the example showing all the contents when opening the envelope. Finally I can read the note in Re-ment box because the message is written in English. It also has Japanese translation on the side. Messages are in different format  including letter, email and greeting card.

1. Breakfast (Trix Cereal?)




2. Daddy's Meal






3.Birthday Cake




4. Baby Products


5. School Day






6. After School


The belt was broken so I taped it. It was the only defect in this used set.


7. Party with Friend



8. Grocery Shopping




9. Merry Christmas


10. Grandma's Cookies




Do you like this set? Does it remind you of anything in daily life? :)

    1. 早期一組就可以擺滿一桌了. 真的好豊盛啊!!!
      如果說能複刻發行.最想要的就是這款RE-METN桌子了.
      這組美式生活我只收到2號
      非常想要7號的糖果販賣機 現在已經很少見
      話說...放著袖珍糖果 Chloe的手真美 *^___^*

    2. 哈哈,真的CHOLE 的手看來真的又白又滑...哈哈
      這一組WU說的7號當然很好,但其他的實物也比相更好,好像有一次我想做PARTY的景,找蛋糕的同時,3號那兩個能噴出彩條就真的很有特色很不常見....
      另外6號那幾包糖果,也很有美國特色

    3. C.L.Wu: 最后一张合照,其实这个RM桌子还不够放所有的东西,我就尽所能放入镜头多一些。RM的桌子我买来时系二手,也不错,这一套美国厨房也是二手。日本人还是很珍惜东西的,二手不会很差,价钱确大不同。要不是知道你和Krin都是女生,还怀疑你们是恋手癖哦哈哈哈哈哈~~~

      Krin: 哈哈,手白能看照片,手滑你是靠想象吧。。。莫非你对我。。。哈哈哈哈开玩笑~~~我也很喜欢那个蛋糕的彩条,上面的蜡烛如果不只给7而是0-9都给一遍就好啦(白日梦)~~这套里的零食都做得很精致,尤其喜欢那个恐龙软糖~

    4. 嘻嘻,CHLOE,咱們不是戀手狂,只是CHLOE是上海姑娘,當然皮膚又白又好,令來自南方的KRIN羨慕呀....

      我也很喜歡那個恐龙软糖,以前有食玩朋友喜歡開封那些包裝好的RM看一看內的物品,我其實也很想開,但又捨得開了這包糖果

  2. Oh man this set is too cute! I love looking at Re-ment but they seem a little costly compared to SF. Nevertheless they are super realistic and super cute! I love your pictures, what camera / lens are you using?

    1. Hi Seven! Thank you. Old Re-ment sets became very expensive in these days. I sometimes buy used set from Japanese collectors. Japanese collectors carefully play with their toys. It won't be much difference, but the price is more affordable. I use IPhone 5s to take most of the photos indoor and a Nikon d7000 with a 55-108mm lens (if i remember correct) outdoors.

    2. Ah I see, thanks for the info :) I've seen lots of great photography from people using the Iphone 5s it amazes me. They look really crystal clear unlike me sony xperia that has higher megapixels ;(

    3. Iphone 5 and up did make a huge improvement on camera. Smart phones are convenient and often take better pictures than digital camera. I'd rather spend money and get a better phone instead of spending more on a digital camera.

      But I heard sony xperia is good at photos too. And you photos are good, definitely not as bad as you thought.

    1. Haha Aranera! This is why Re-ment is so addictive. It's so real sometimes I feel hungry by looking at things in the miniatue fridge.

    1. Thank you. I like the toy story happy room! The white computer is great for diorama. But I won't get it this time because I am saving money for the upcoming 80's theme in October.

  7. The photos you take are even more professional than rement XD, i think they should use your photo instead!
    I love this set too as there are so many things included in these sets, rement nowadays don't have so many items included for each box.

    1. This is such a compliment. Thank you for your nice words Carry. And I totally agree that RM didn't have as much stuff as the old time nowadays. Guess the manufacturing cost is getting expensive.

    1. Thank you so much for your nice comment Hannah. I don't think there's things from the mushroom set in those photos since I haven't opened the mushroom set yet. I guess the piece you saw is from the strawberry set.

    2. In the background there are some jars with mushrooms on them, on a shelf. They are really cute =) And I do love the birds in the shelf too, the spice-jars =) I just had to take another look at your lovely pictures, there are so much beauty to look at =)

    1. Thank you so much Jennifer. I like to play with Re-ment but have a hard time to organize them. It is very addictive so I can hardly save any money...:P

  10. 這套配件都係很多, 以前的re-ment真的比現在豐富, 可能成本高了, 他們為有減少配件.
    這組我覺得7號好有特式, 雖然re-ment有一套是bb食玩(有手推車那套), 但我一款也沒有入.
    好喜歡你背景的木屋, 請問是否原裝買回來?

    1. 木屋是在淘宝上一个叫粘土小屋的店家定做的。是原装的,自己只是要用钉子把几面木板钉起来。这个木屋够大,可以放下Blythe我才买的。做工还行,只是卖家态度不太好,可能不会再在同一家买。:)

    2. 原來是淘寶東西, 多謝分享!
      我在淘寶也看見相關場境木屋, 好鍾意, 但不捨得買...好貴!
