Candy Sushi
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
Leave it to the innovative country of Japan to create a sushi that requires no fish or rice. In fact, this is a bit similar to the Doctor Dreadful Food Lab from Tyco, except it looks a lot more appetizing and realistic. The “sushi” is a grape flavored gummy candy. Instructions are easy: pour water into the mold, add powder, and mix. It’ll probably harder to find it than it is to make it since it can only be bought in Japan (it is being sold online here for $5.80, but shipping and handling fees may kill the fun of making these mini pieces of sushi). Here’s a video of it being made:
I am personally intrigued with how realistic the texture of the rice looks. If it was available in the U.S. I’d probably but it for myself to try since it seems pretty entertaining to make candy sushi. But until it is easier accessible, I’ll stick to real sushi.
