Asakusa Amezaiku Ameshin
craft
浅草飴細工アメシン
Japanese candy sculpting art (amezaiku) workshop near Sensoji, shape molten sugar into animals.
Watch and try amezaiku, the Japanese art of sculpting candy into lifelike animals and flowers using hands and scissors in under 3 minutes before it hardens. This Asakusa studio revived the nearly lost Edo-period street performance art.
The rabbit is the easiest shape for beginners. Watch the master do a goldfish first. It's mesmerizing.
