No Two Japanese Candies are the Same

Candy from Japan, like in other parts of the world, was a luxury in the past. Originally Dutch tradespeople in the 16th century brought over Konpeito, colorful star shaped sugar candy. Konpeito quickly became beloved by the upper classes and by the 19th century, was fully adopted by the Japanese people. Over time candy developed, with hard candy in the form of fruit drops becoming more available in the early 20th century.

Moving into the 21st century, candy is becoming increasingly diverse and unique. Japanese gummies, chewy and hard candy are getting more and more diverse.

Japan's DIY Candy Kit Craze

The DIY Candy craze began in 1986, when a member of the product research team had a stroke of inspiration watching kids playing in a sand pit.

Watching the kids mix together sand and water was the birth of the Nerunerunerune candy, which creates tasty, fluffy candy by mixing water and their special powder.

The DIY candy walks a fine line between creativity and chemistry, giving Japanese candy fans a new and tasty way to enjoy their sweets. They are sometimes even used in elementary school classes to inspire creativity.
