Japanese Candy Making Experience | Amezaiku ★ ONLY in JAPAN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ส.ค. 2018
- Japanese candy artistry is a performing art with a history going back over a thousand years. Amezaiku was offered during the Heian period to wide eyed children (794-1185) and is still seen at festival stands when the Amezaiku master takes a blob of taffy sugar called mizuame and turns it into an animal or character. It's amazing to see it, like a clown make balloon animals at a kid's birthday party. Amezaiku masters have only 2-3 minutes to make the character before the warm candy hardens and it sets.
Today, we'll go to a shop that is preserving this traditional culture in Sendagi, Tokyo near Yanaka Ginza where old Tokyo still exists.
Akezaiku Yoshihara is a place where you can see hundreds of traditional Japanese candy and even request one to be made!
Also, I commissioned a candy bust of myself from the shop. It took a week and cost me $100. Watch to the end to see if it looks like me. What do you think?
Amezaiku these days costs between $3 for small and simple character animals to $10 for normal sized and up to $20 and $100 for very complicated pieces.
Is Amezaiku art -- or candy?
To Yoshihara-san, it's candy first and if you're hungry, just take a bite! Nothing lasts forever.
Where is Yoshihara san's shop?

"Find out at the end of the video" But John, you used the sugar model in the thumbnail!
ac3ofspades878 oh yeah!! I forgot 😂 well you get a nice story on it then!
@ONLY in JAPAN That does look like you, but the nose looks like it's drooping... *giggles* But it's a good likeness
word brother
WOW!! The candy looks too BEAUTIFUL to eat!!
yes
yeah i kinda wanna do that now!
Please man, insert subtitles in Portuguese (many countries, Brasil, Portugal...). I like so much your videos, but only some have subtitles in Portuguese. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences Hugs!
STOP KILLING WHALES.
Fake name u don't know anything
The candies looked too cute and cool to eat. Especially the Pegasus one, that looked like a mini glass statue more than candy.
I can see the resemblance between you and the candy bust. The whole detail of the candy looks super amazing, so does the other candies in the shop. You did a great job on your rabbit John, it didn't look bad at all. 💖💖
Great episode John! It is edible art. I think your candy bust looks similar to you in a cartoonish way. 👍
I could literally sit here for hours and watch this show. It's so relaxing like, Bob Ross.
It is you ! Interesting to see these kinds of crafts still being practiced
Love your today's video, John Daub! It's awesome! 😀😊
Never seen how Japanese people make that before.
STOP KILLING WHALES.
Great content John !To everyone who is interested in going to Tokyo , Yanaka Ginza is a must visit !the shopping street is small and but lots of interesting shops ,even beyond this street ,there are temples, historical cemetery and winding roads. It is very accessible too. You just ride the JR Yamanote line to Nippori station.
The Japanese raise even the most mundane of tasks to an art form - Amezaiku is no exception. Really interesting tradition I'd not heard of before. Thank you John Daub
I think it does look like you!
I respect his artist and his art. 😊👍 as for the candy that looks like you. I see the resemblance with your wavy and white hair. That’s about it.
Its an art form that is slowly fading but stirs up excitement wherever it appears.
I’ve started watching an episode of OIJ before I go to sleep each night, it’s just that relaxing😀
I'm a simple man
I see only in Japan
I click
LoL!!
Phantom thief You have also commented :)
Phantom thief Ditto.
Your ONLY in JAPAN videos are some of the best on TH-cam. Congratulations!
Your 'rabbit' looks like the result of a bull mating with a trout. Although, it's much better than I would have done. Great video!
Bob's Tank haha!! It could be a mascot for ... hmm, a bank? It’s a face you can trust.
Lol well that's pretty specific lol
Your intro still makes me smile. I used to think it was cheesy...who am I kidding I still do...but MAN does it bring a smile to my face every time I click on a video. I love the authenticity and maturity that goes into each and every one of your videos. You have a gift when it comes to telling a story and I truly TRULY believe you are one of a few top Japan TH-camrs. Mad respect John.
i LOVE this stuff!!! im so happy you made a video on this!!! :D i watch the home videos of this kind of thing on youtube all the time!
How many people can truly say they enjoy what they do, day in and day out. This is the kind of job I'd love to do, you are your own boss and you can make amazing edible art.
Japans tourism industry should pay you for all these great videos that introduces everything awesome about japan 🇯🇵
So cool! I absolutely love hearing the stories from the shopkeepers. Keeping the culture is so important! I think it is definately the reason why Japan is so interesting, because they have deep roots in their own culture. 👍😆
It’s INCREDIBLE! It’s a thing of beauty! What a craftsmanship!
Japanese people always have this amazing back story and passion to their job, like heck am I jealous
Yes....candy art of you did look like you. The pegasus horse candy was made very well. So talented and creative too!
Yanaka Ginza is such a nice place to visit to get away from the crowds in Tokyo. The candy shop smells so good too. When I went I got a bunny holding a strawberry. I havent been able to bring myself to eat it yet!
It’s an edible masterpiece! I would love to get my hands on all of that candy!
I know it's candy, but I didn't want you to eat the horse ~ *it was just SO beautiful!*
Wow! .. that was truly amazing ... more than John's bust(I appreciate the details truly praise worthy for the piece of art) I loved that Pegasus ... my god that was just unbelievable.
Who thought a candy would be a work of art. Excellent!!
It's definitely art! I couldn't eat such mastery! Too beautiful!
I really love your channel. I can spend 3hours watching your videos. It's my goal to travel in Japan and watching your videos motivates me even more. Thank you!
The candy looked like you by the way :)
literally this is the best channel I've come across!!
You broke my heart at the end when you ate the Pegasus' head clean off :-(
I had forgot about this channel, thank god it’s still producing great content!
My favorite channel by far the best way to get the best hot spots in Japan!
Because of you & your video make me traveled to japan last week. Thank you so much for inspiring me & my family.
We love u.
It looks like you!
Great traditional art and keeping it alive by creating more than just animals is what good for popularity and can encourage new clientele 👍🏽
quick note, the man said he had "a oppotunity". then "to protect the culture we should connect people to continue". And finally, this was a very unique and interesting episode, I had never heard of this before. When you said don't add air holes, I laughed.
I see the 'ONLY in JAPAN' notification bell ding. I immediately click on it. No questions asked.
I am amazed how they make everything an art form over there , real commitment to make the best better with pride in whatever they do !
The candy bust does look just like you! Very interesting and fun craft.👍💕
i cant say it often enough how much i love and appreciate your documentary style !!! i can really dive in and feel the atmosphere and culture!
Love the videos on all your channels :) I won´t lie, they kept me going after a (for me) really serious heartbreak, which still will not let me go. I enjoy your content and you as a person
Hi John! So glad to see another video! I hope you are doing well!
I have been so amazed by your content from Japan for about a month now that I have order’d a Japanese candy box
The resemblance is there. Nice packaging & idea to customise! I was at this shop last summer but they were closed on tuesdays. Gotta catch them next trip! Yanaka is a lovely neighborhood.
Ha! You wanted to make the candy a surprise at the end but you used it as your thumbnail. Love Japanese crafts so please continue exploring in that area if you can. Temari balls or mizuhiki knotted envelopes specifically. Thanks 🙏🏼.
Best channel on YT!! And as always, Great video!
Yup! It does look like you! True artistry!
Very cool. It's good that a younger generation wants to help protect an artform that is really fascinating to watch. I would definitely get one if it could make the trip to the States.

可愛い💕👍
This was a lot of fun to watch! The Amezaiku is so whimsical! The one in your likeness looks exactly like you. LOL. This place is now on my list of places to visit in Japan. My sweet tooth will be happy.
Like everything else, Japanese take things to a another level, making it an art form...amazing...
I was expecting this channel to have 2 million subscribers already, oh well youre still doing a great job John, great work once again
That Pegasus is absolutely stunning. The detail is so beautiful, and I loved how it looks like crystal.
Hard to eat such beautiful and handmade candy creation...most probably ill display it instead 😁 thank u john! Another interesting video
Everything on my mind has already been added below...
Can I still have a 💖?
Oooh! That Pegasus is a super level up though!🤗🤗🤗🤗!!!
Transitive art about the fleeting moments of life, beauty caught in sugar to be admired and then devoured.
Oh wow! So beautiful! And such attention to details *ÔoÔ* It's nearly a pity to eat them! I agree the limit is thin between art and candy! Great new video John!
Hi John!
Just wanted to say i just love your videos, i suffer from depression, anxiety, insomnia, back pain(horse jumping accident) and a learning disability. When i watch your shows after having a bad day they just help me so much, they cheer me up with your humour, i learn so much about Japan. The place where i dream of going and maybe one day living there (hey i can dream :P) Your so enjoyable to watch so thank you so much for doing these great videos :) I still have so many of your videos to watch but i just wanted to suggest some video ideas :) (sorry if you've already made some videos on these subjects, i just thought about some things i would love to learn from you:)
Idea Number
1) The Cherry Blossom Festival and just info on all the different kinds of cherry blossom trees :P
2) Eel or Fish Farms in Japan :)
3) Tofu maybe like the history and the different kinds, you already showed us hows its made but i dont mind watching more :)
4) Sumo Wrestling! I have always wanted to go and see it live :P (idk though if women are allowed lol)
5) Ghibli Studios I think you going there would be really cool!
6) Houses+Apartments I have always wondered how they look in the inside and is it true they're always so small? >< and how much do they go for? and the country houses too plz! lol
Keep up the amazing work your doing John and if anyone likes some or all of my ideas, plz give a like and maybe we will see them one day, Only In Japan :P
Love your show, you're an excellent journalist/cinematographer
I love the feeling that i get when i forget this channel then find it again, make me so want to go to japan
I have been waiting on this episode. Loved it!!!
I have watched so many videos and can hardly imagine you without your big white smile :D
Stunning, beautiful, priceless gems, that really taste sweet, very cool
OK. The way you just chomped off the poor mythical creature's head, it's SAVAGE (did it taste good? it looks yummy). Kudos to the amezaiku master! Now this shop is on my Yanaka bucket list. Thank you so much for making this video, John! Stay healthy and happy!
It did taste good! It was hard but turns into a a taffy a little. Totally savage!!! 😂 def go for a visit and say hi. They’re very friendly and really want to show off their skills :) you can try to order one off menu and see if they can make it. The porcupine did look pretty cool!
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN Will do! I will share this to my friends, too. Some are visiting Japan this year. I think it'll be awesome if they can visit the shop!
Wow! They're taking candy and art to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!! 👌
Wow incredible!
John Your videos always the best!
It's amazing, a cute version of you. Amazing craft
Love it! Fantastic look into a slowly disappearing traditional sweet making art. I could sit for days watching these creations come to fruition. Is it mean to know that it only takes a couple minutes to make them vanish. Great stuff as always John.
They did a great job! Awesome, thank you for the video!
Always love your videos John.
Yes it looks like you and you should have got him to have your trademark cap backwards on your head then it's really life like
Yaaaaas. Early access for the win!
Woooow. Wonderful. What a nice creations. Love them.
John! You made a Rabicorn! I can't believe you were able to capture that beautiful & rare mythological creature so masterfully. 😂😂😂
FireCracker3240 a Rabicorn!! Half rabbit, half unicorn 🦄 all beautiful :) love it!! Totally was going for the Rabicorn 😂
Well, then, you are a master of the craft, good sir! If they ever need a Rabicorn expert, they know who to call. 😊😊😊
Thank you for replying to my comment, John!!!
This is so sweet video.
My son and I think it kind of looks like you. Great vid as always!! We love them.
So...much...candy!!!! Talk about amazing skills
man i sure do miss those candies...used to get them almost everyday when i was living with my grandparents when i was a lil boy there...
Good attempt John but I must say your bunny looked a lot like the dragon from never ending story..100% would still purchase though!
Great video. Those skills are amazing. Nice job on first candy making.
Love your videos...been here in japan for 5years but still learning..
That’s ridiculously awesome!!!! :-) soo cool!
They look Fantastic John! The amount of detail that can be put into this traditional art is limitless and I believe more modern designs in the future will have an increase in demand for custom orders sustaining this traditional skilled trade. Very nice video! Nice work!
2:14 stretching it also adds air and turns it white. I watch so many Lofty Pursuits videos where they make hard candies and he always mentions that when they stretch the candy that it makes it white.
This candy making video was really sweet! I would say that making candy sculptures is definitely an art. I would buy two of each and keep one on display as a collector's item and one to have as a sweet treat. I really love the candy sculpture they made of you❤👍
Though it's presumptuous, Japanese is represented, and I'd like to tell about fee.
Thank you for explaining politely for the world.
Your animation is very fine, and the explanation is added and is easy to understand.
There is Tsutomu who charms the person who sees.
Please also persevere in activity in TH-cam with future!
From Japanese high school student.
Is it weird that you remind me so much of Daniel- son R.I.P Mr.Miyagi
Ranmaru _ Agreed! ✅
Wax On Wax Off
Absolutely love your videos! Tokyo was my first big trip on my own and I watched all of your videos and it got me so excited for my first experience there and every time I watch your videos it makes me want to go back soon. Hope you always make these videos, thank you for doing what you do 🙂
This is not just candy making, it is art.
Nice professional quality video! The effort really shows. Keep it up! Your bust looks "Japanized" with the whiter skin and big eyes. BTW, your rabbit looks like Anubis. :-D
He needs to make a TH-cam channel and make videos of him making different candies. Hopefully keep this alive but to also hopefully get more profit from this bc I imagine the store could have ups and downs profit wise.
Your model candy is very good!
That opening beat. I'm feeling it.
The candy is ‘kawaii version’ of john~ hehe it’s just so cute! ❤️
Amazing artists Looks like YOU!!! 😮
It's a really good likeness. I hope Kanai likes it as well.
Looks just like you, so many fine details! And your attempt at making sugar art must have been fairly decent for a first try, I think it was fine... just maybe not fine enough to sell!
Hi john! Long time viewer and lover of your videos, I especially love the videos on food. If you ever happen to see this, and are open to ideas, I would love to see something about Japanese cars! Racing, drifting, car manufacturing, or just history- if you’re interested in it, it’s something me and likely many others would love to see! Food documentaries are great (I love the one about sandwiches), but one-off documentation’s on other Japanese culture crazes are even better (like your video about man-hole covers, something I never imagined would interest me!) Keep up the amazing work as always, and thank you!
I laughed so much at your rabbit. It looks like rat ,but still cute. This was an amazing episode, showing a side of Japanese culture we dont know about. Thank you.
