@@chestnutcreamlatte I have some candy for years and years now that looks exactly the way they did when I first bought them :) but I guess it depends on the weather and other factors
I saw similar things in China. The artists sell the sugar candy on the road side with really cheap price. A child can order whatever shape he or she likes for $10. Japan is great at valuing all the traditional art and making the price worth the hardwork!
That dragon looks like these tiny crystal and glass figurines my mom used to have back in the 80s. She had everything from dolphins to dogs and mermaids. I wish I knew what company made those so I could look them up and buy some, if they're still available!
OMG! My mom had them in the 80s too! Just last week, I was searching online to see if I could find them. I’ve been looking for years. I see similar ones, but they are not the same as the ones back then. I assume they just don’t make them anymore.
Swarovski still has those types :)! My mom has a LOT of them, and me and my sister bought a crystal bear from her from swarovski that fits perfectly! Some Asian antique shops also have some!
@@PK-eo8kp It'd have to taste amazing for me to spend $500 on candy. But I'm guessing this is just a regular sugar candy since they didn't spend much time talking about how it tastes.
I got one which is much better than this in a town when I travel in China, though it meltdown when I come back home. It only cost me 20 yuan(about 3dollars) cause the craft man was in a good mood.
I've actually bought a 3 month subscription to Sakuraco and I can totally vouch for them, they have very unique and delicious Japanese treats. They've already sent me the August and September boxes and the August box from Okinawa was my fav! The snacks that were shown in the beginning of the video were from that August box and my favorite snack was the one with the purple wrapping, it was made with sweet potatoes and what a delight. Totally worth the $30/box price tag for this unique experience since traveling to Japan is kind of hard right now, especially considering that candy master wanted $500 for that piece of candy...
that sounds awesome! idk IF I can swing it , but that Okinawa box is very tempting. TY for the honest review and enjoy your delicious treats from Japan
@@Simonnnnnnnify I wish they paid me lol, AsianBoss did a collab with them a few videos ago and that piqued my interest so I decided to try it since it wasn't too expensive, and yeah it was worth my money.
@@shaunbarlett9108 Thanks, I'm a little disappointed in the Tokyo (September box) now that I have that to compare to the Okinawa box but I'm looking forward to the October box, hopefully it's better. My guess is that Tokyo has been too metropolized and urban for more authentic Japanese tastes to blossom.
@@focusezz6947 Well they are paying me to say this, but I lived in Okinawa for a few years. The Purple Sweet potato is delicious in anything. I have always wanted to try one of those box a month services. Sounds nice to get a package filled with surprises every month. There are so many different ones like loot crate and such. This one really piques my interest as well :)
I’ve been to this store on the way to Yanaka Ginza - I brought back to australia a bunny holding a strawberry and couldn’t bear to eat it, it lives in my fridge forever haha also the shop smells like warmth and sugar, it was so interesting to watch his craftsmanship its like magic

$500 for that dragon shaped candy? Wow... But that price is definitely justified for the amount of hand crafted work put into it. But at that asking price, I'd try to get a more traditional dragon sculpture/figure/model kit.
Amazing. We have cooking shows that include people making sugar pieces, but they don't get to make dragons! I think it's just a matter of time before the cooking show networks give us a candy making contest. I can't wait.
The thumbnail candy immediately reminded me of Mingi from ateez who broke that similar prize dragon candy on the show 'kids teach idols' That was so hilarious lmao.
*Introducing:* The world's first candy that also causes blindness by poking your eye out with razor sharp claws. 🤣 It's beautiful though... for the short moment you still have your vision!
Thanks Winnie for your very good presentation about the Amezaiku Japanese Candy Art! これは本当に凄く楽しみにねー！おめでとうとお疲れ様でしたウィニーさん！This will be included in my bucket list when I visit Japan again really soon! 💯
yes, to be really honest. It is quite expensive. I could buy a sukajan jacket for that amount of money. Or get a Nike Air Jordan 1 in re-sale for that much amount of money. Definitely a lot more could be done with 500 usd , if planning to spend it on an object.
Wow this is amazing, first i thought it may be similar too the one in indonesia called “gulali tiup” , but then the japanese take it to another level!! I love how they treat desserts & snacks with so much respect & dedication , also love watching them making wagashi nerikiri 💛 hope they can pass it too the next next next generation
This was one of the most amazing thing that i already saw, is so beautiful and is made in so few minutes. Look how the man burns the dragon to add a texture in some pieces '0'
How long long does something have to exist in one culture before you don't have to mention that it came from another culture. The Japanese imported this from Chinese culture over a thousand years ago dude.
Its true you can find it across China, but the taste and experience its entirely different in Japan. I have bought the candy while travelling around China (tried the one that was drawn in gold and the one blown in like a balloon) VS the one I visit in the stores in Japan! Personally both is nice but Japan makes the whole experience an high class one with a story and the candy flavours are different unless in China they only use one kind
@@aajohnsoutube "Except they use radiator fluid for sweetness and melamine for texture, and for $500 you can get a live kidney. (Please don’t compare China to Japan) " Ahh yess. Speaking of comparing. Why you comparing criminals using those illegal substances to actual *traditional* Chinese candy? Way to go buddy *slow claps Way. To. Go
This is cultural appropriation. This art or culture originated in China and is still commonly seen today there. Be careful titling it 'traditional japanese' when it is not.
I wonder how many sales he makes in a day? Are there wealthy regulars who buy one as a snack weekly? What occasion (gifting) do people buy these most for? So many questions.
So this is where all the fundraising money went... (Kidding! I support AB!) Also, wow, what a cool video this is! I had no idea this was even a thing. Really fun to watch.
eating from the head or from the ball, that is the big question. Lol okay :) . The joys of cultural exchange. This video was super duper, really learnt about something wonderful/unique that exists on earth.
If I spent $500 on dragon shaped candy, I don’t think I’d eat it. I’d keep it as a display.
@@chestnutcreamlatte I have some candy for years and years now that looks exactly the way they did when I first bought them :) but I guess it depends on the weather and other factors
If I spent $500 on a candy I would feel ashamed and never tell anyone.
Few ants would attack on it
I would most likely just take a nice picture of it then eat it later on.

08:11 It's better if it disappears, because then, it'll be in your memory forever.
that's so cool
Yes and also if you ever want to see it again you have to spend 500 more dollars
What does that even mean
So if it doesn’t disappear, it wouldn’t be in your memory forever…….? So it’s better for it to disappear? 😐
@@sonofben3322 It doesn't mean anything. It's mystical mumbojumbo, just means buy another one later.

omg same!! i have this one which looks like a small clear elephant holding a red heart with its trunk but it broke :(
i imagine the taste is pretty straight forward, it's the shape and handmade aspect that are of high value
It looks very cool and a lot of time/skill to make it but there’s no way in hell I’m paying >$500 for a candy 😂😂😂

The Chinese use melted maltose to create animal shaped candies sculpture as well and usually costs 1-3USD$. It’s a very ancient art in China.

Amazing dragon! I couldn't eat such a piece of art.
Sakuraco takes over all deals online.
He's just as good or even better than the professional chefs you see on pastries shows!
so impressive .. I hope this kind of work will continue in the world some how !
But this is obviously a Chinese street snack, why the topic is Japanese tradition.

Both dragon & Winnie are both beautiful :) But why it can cost $500!?
Jovan Kastelie Because people are willing to spend that much. Art is expensive
@@yerri5567 yes well said
The candy is not $500... as the creator said: $500 you get the candy and also can enjoy all the process of creation.
yes, to be really honest. It is quite expensive. I could buy a sukajan jacket for that amount of money. Or get a Nike Air Jordan 1 in re-sale for that much amount of money. Definitely a lot more could be done with 500 usd , if planning to spend it on an object.
