It Looks To Good To Eat,

but that is what is going to happen to it,


  26-year old Shinri Tezuka, the owner of a small shop in the Asakusa district of Tokyo called Ameshin, combines a studio and workshop where Tezuka not only creates his realistic creations, but also holds workshops and demonstrations for the public, but why would you eat a goldfish? well it is in fact a lollipop, Amezaiku is the Japanese craft of lollipop-making, which dates back to the 700s when artisans made mouth-watering and artistic lollipops to be presented as gifts, they are made from sugary syrup and starch as well as organic colouring so they’re completely edible, at his shop in Tokyo he sells them for between 1000 – 2000 yen, You can also sigh up for workshops (2500 yen for adults; 2000 yen for kids) where you’ll get to make your own amezaiku, I have said it before, it just looks to good to eat! Ameshin 1-4-3 Imado, Taito-ku, Tokyo (Gmap), 11:00 – 18:00. the shop is closed on Thursdays.
