#百式 (100shiki) Kintaro-Ame Candy

Kintaro-Ame candy is a Japanese traditional candy.

Kintarō-ame is a traditional candy with a cylinder shape still produced in Japan and coming from the Edo period. Wherever it is cut, the cylinder’s cross section permanently shows Kintaro’s face. via wikipedia.

In Tokyo, I got #100shiki (100shiki is a famous website in Japan, especially famous among web devs  or web marketing people) original Kintaro-ame candy.

It’s lovely, fancy and tasty! It can be used like business card or so, nice to give away. I’d love to make MOZO original kintaro-ame candy!

I heard that Mozilla made firefox logo kintaro-candy, it must be cool.

Here is the report of making 100shiki kintaro-ame, it’s kind of amazing, it’s in Japanese but there are many photos telling how to make kintaro-ame. Interesting!
