Overview
The keyword of the day is A for Amezaiku. Amezaiku, the traditional Japanese art of candy sculpture, has more than 500 years of history. The beautiful candy sculpture is crafted with heated candy base (starchy syrup) in mere seconds before it cools and hardens. This edible art is sometimes crafted to entertain guests. Shinri Tezuka, who works in Asakusa, Tokyo, is known as an Amezaiku artist who creates the one-and-only candy sculpture.
