Japanese candy is infamous for being weird crazy and mind bogglingly fun. An entire food science industry is devoted solely to making sweets more interesting to the senses.
Sometimes you can find your normal pop-candy which seems to be a supercharged version of what you get at home, but other times you can find full kits of 'mini - food' which you assemble yourself into mini burgers, mini yakisoba or pancakes.
Today I bought my first kit. Sushi. I had fun making it. The creation and the sheer satisfaction had by a mini chemistry set on your kitchen bench is enough to satisfy any inner child. What an amazing use of science!
I'll be trying more of these for sure!
Enjoy my video!
