How Japanese Candy Art Is Made | The Making Of

- Amezaiku is a traditional Japanese craft. Delicate sculptures, usually of animals, birds and fish, are molded out of a starchy syrup.
The base of the artwork is a starchy syrup, which is heated to 90 degrees Celcius (almost 200 degrees Fahrenheit), and requires careful monitoring to ensure proper consistency. The mixture is extracted, then kneaded by hand. A small section is selected, and pinched into a spherical shape. This is done using the artists' bare hands, which is a skill in itself. The syrup is mounted on a stick, then formed into a shape by constant pulling and clipping. The final shape is painted with food dye, using delicate brushes.
Amezaiku is said to have started during the Heian period in the 8th century, when it was used to make offerings for temples in Kyoto. It became a street performance in the 17th -19th century during the Edo period, as its base starch ingredient Mizumae or "water candy" became more popular.
We visited Asakusa Amezaiku Ameshin, a shop in the Taito area of Tokyo.

Japanese artistry is legendary. They devote themselves in their respective arts.
@@nitro4232 i'm not invalidating anyone, but yes, we devote ourselves in our own way. But i think it's not the same for the Japanese people. They take so much pride in their work. I think that's because of their culture. Even in the slightest error, they will blame themselves (some may commit seppuku). I'm not Japanese but I'm from an Asian country and the expectancy of Asian parents and the pressure of society on our shoulders deeply affects us, especially in doing things; because society will always judge us and gossip about us.
doesn't everyone tho?
@@nitro4232 is the work of satan b o i
And then destroying them by biting it.
Also what did nitro even say?
@Kaita Kawada You Koreans should stop preteinding to be a Japanese and spreding lies.
No wonder you are hated everywhere.
I would probably keep the gold fish as a show piece in my house 🤣
Najma Modak ants gonna go crazy
[GD] GPAC60
Ants will put it in a small museum and sell tickets. Sure, it will be a hit a they will go crazy
jacinto cuellar nice
Najma Modak Same! But I would buy 2 and eat one of them
I would keep it in my stomach 😋
Insider is now becoming Great Big Story
and i hope they keep going with it cause i'm loving it
Because they're copying them
They're running out of ideas
Wannabes
@@MsTiffanysfan They're practically the same
I thought i'd seen some good candy art before... this is an entirely different level. WOW. he's incredible.
Ikr
Btw love your vids😊
better than the ones i saw in that disneyland vid
You stay on every video I watch lmao
Japan can be described in two words PASSIONATE and WEIRD *(in a good way)
Car Jon Which is Anime?
Hi, Bye
Both.
Iam Pie Facts.
Kind and disciplined too🥰
@@MsTiffanysfan u can see anime butts with pantsus ano shops
Friend: hey what’s your favorite candy?
Me: it’s kinda complicated
It's such a shame that old art forms such as amezaiku are dissapearing. Props to this guy for bringing it back.
It has been replaced by plastics and factory made
@@yinchuun which is a bad thing!
First its does looks beautiful but in my mind.... "How do i eat it? or lick it tho?" :'v
Same ;-;
1. Protrude the tongue to a desired length.
2. Stroke the sugar object with the aforementioned.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if necessary.
something something xD
@@jay_dmp lol your nick name XD, and.. Nice tips dude omgd hahaha!
@@jay_dmp The fact that you're speaking in such a professional way to tell someone how to lick a lolipop/candy got me cracking up.
They usually look like animals, birds, and fish.
*Wait all of those are animals*
Some people actually think fish isn't meat and it is weird
@@kaiceecrane3884 in the middle age in europe, Christian religion banned people from eating meat on certain days.
obviously this only applied to royals and nobles, since peasants didn't get to each much meat at all.
and the royals and nobles ate birds and fish, on those days. since only 4 legged animals are considered meat.
KaîÇee Crane you missed a chance to make a great pun😂
That’s what I was thinkinh
@@kaiceecrane3884 ahh you could've used "it's fishy "
I like how Japanese people take pride in their food and art and this kind of combines them together.
It's beautiful but not tasty. It's time to upgrade to make it very tasty
*Basically*
Everything is Art in Japan
Candy is Art
Food making is Art
Hentai is Art
It makes me dont wanna eat
That last one tho
Gheorghe Palivan it makes me want to eat
The last one is um... Werid as a art form I guess. For real the last one makes me speechless
This tradition needs to be kept alive. It's so beautiful!
So beautiful.The Japanese are such an amazing culture.Their love,their need for perfection is inspiring.
Five minutes to sculpt that omg
Edit:tysm soo much for the likes
Japanese guy: Feel free to eat this candy I have been carefully crafting
Me: *ANXIETY ACTIVATE!*
All that work just to be eaten in a few seconds time😂
THE MAN THE MYTH THE BAKER they do it for fun you realise.
THE MAN THE MYTH THE BAKER it only takes 5 minutes to sculpt. they make the same things over and over
H E L L O M Y D A R L I N G S why are you mad?
Lauren Montepeque Perry im not at all😅 im happy that people take time doing what they love😊
Those candies are made to be either eaten or kept in house as a masterpiece
Japanese are perfectionist when it comes to their work.Originals. and best quality..
My expectations and reality.
Expectations: Bootiful Kandie art.
Reality: Bootiful Kandie art.
Wow! The most incredible thing I've ever seen. Handling HOT sugar syrup is extremely difficult.
Thanks for keeping this art form alive.
Yeah, I would definitely keep these on display instead of eating them, they're just too beautiful to eat. I can't believe just how real he makes them look, it really is crazy. I wish I had even a fraction of his talent.
Why is this so satisfying to me? ;-;
Yah
If I buy this candy, I would admire the art and put it in an honorable glass container.
Anyone else thinks that he is soooo adorable!!? 🥰😍😍😍😍
Every thing litarely every thing in Japan is in another level
Alavi Khan literally*
Alavi Khan everything*
The getting of the clear stuff is *so satisfying*
Just another reason why visiting Japan is on my bucket list
I love everything about Japan
Me: are you sure this is 100% pure candy?
Employees: *Yes*
Dentist: so what happened to your teeth?
Me: It's a long story...
When the video started I liked it immediately...... Satisfying af.
I couldn’t eat those masterpieces
In the US we need more art forms like this!!
I would love any of these pieces as glass sculptures to display, they’re so detailed and gorgeous
Another incredible art from those amazing Japanese !!!
I'm stunned. Just STUNNED.
Wow beautiful artwork. I hope your craft lives on for a long time.
Tip for pronouncing Japanese words. Pronounce every syllable and sound. Kind of like German or some African languages.
Ah meh zah ee kuh.
I love Japanese artworks. It’s so delicate and beautiful
This dude is so good . The detail , mixed with the painting skills make it perfect
They look so beautiful and realistic
Amazing video and amazing channel and amazing job friend 😀😎👍
That's not just skill but Love from the heart.
I'd want to preserve it as art. It's so incredibly beautiful.
I live in Japan and I’m AMAZED!!!😲
That’s candy?! I wouldn’t want to eat it, it’s too cool to be eaten
Just like that Iraqi guy, *you're everywhere!*
The candy looks like clear slime! Haha! 🤣😂
I always wanted to do this sign me up🦊 especially the other crafts like MOCHI ART please do a video on that next please!!!!!!!
Absolutely stunning
Okay, this is beautiful. This may be candy, but it's pure art.
Looks so beatifull and chewy
This is just amazing!!
It looks like how they make glass
Dude why is my family Japanese but none of us can make things like this 😂
Icy Draws 🐺🖌 so what if your family is japanese? just because people are the same race doesnt mean they can all do the same things
i want to eat your socks
All I’m saying is that I’m Japanese so i want to go and try this out, But I’d fail alongside my sister anyways. The only thing I’m good at is watching CZcams and gobbling down food!
I am pretty sure there is only a handful of people that can do this, saw it in another video
@@GoofCity just because your Japanese doesn't mean you cant do it. Any one can. Its art.
Bc u probably live in America xD
I want a candy dragon that can defeat ants.
Oh my god IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!
I couldn't eat those. That's for display! Beautiful Art❤😍

Wow.

So satisfying 😯
That is really cool.
Can we just talk how enthusiastic sounds the voiceover
He makes it look so easy
I love JAPAN 😍😍
He’s straight up grabbing fire and going “this is fine. Here. Look. A bird! Wow!”
I probably wouldnt be able to eat it since it so beautiful
I still remember the old candy art video of insider but the artist didnt use heat and mic the colour in the candy , well it is more different now they heat it and paint it
Sweet!!
Can you do things from the UK?
I learned how to make candy art but I normally make like mushrooms or trees and fruit but this, this is on a whole other level-
Soo beautiful
Amazing
How can you eat that? It's too beautiful to consume it. The candy itself will confuse you where to eat first, because everything about it is just amazing and beautiful.
"Animals, birds, and fish"
You mean animals?
r/whoosh
Vertebrates actually :/
VIRAL VIDEO 2019 how?
I think it's translation problem.
Japanese probably have common word for 4 legged animals.
which English doesn't have.
He probably said "4 legged animals, birds and fish"
ok good so im not the only one who thought that phrasing was weird lmao
That’s too beautiful to eat
wow I want these candies
Wow im amazed
So beautiful to eat...
I think I’ve never seen transparent candy like that before
Jadi inget jajanan sd dulu...
looks cool, would eat if I had the chance to
So cool
