Amezaiku Yoshihara (Sendagi Flagship Store)

This is the first specialty store for traditional Japanese candy sculpting. This store was established as the first of its kind in order to spread awareness of the traditional Japanese art of candy sculpting, which dates all the way back to the Edo period (1603-1868). The cozy interior of the store contains a number of tightly packed displays showing off their unique candy sculptures. They create the sculpture before your eyes in around three minutes, and once they're done the candy is yours to take away with you. The store's signature attraction is the opportunity to pay to observe their swift and highly skilled sculptors as they create a candy sculpture of your choice (chosen from a menu that includes pandas, cats, cherry blossoms, Chinese Zodiac and more). They make for fine gifts for special occasions, such as for weddings or for Mother's Day.
