Candy making experience / Shimakawa Candy Shop
Experience
Experience making candy with a gentle sweetness without using sugar.
At "Shimakawa Candy Shop," you can see, taste, and even try making malt candy using traditional methods that have been passed down since the Edo period.
Made using only starch and malt, without any added sugar, this candy boasts a gentle sweetness and simple, delicious flavor.
During the experience, you can enjoy watching up close as the boiled candy is kneaded using traditional tools, and the brown candy transforms into gold and then white as air is incorporated.
Being able to enjoy it freshly made on the spot is another great point.
Enjoy a heartwarming crafting experience, connecting with the history of candy that has grown alongside Toyama's medicinal culture.
