I’ve been wanting to interview Japanese snack makers and shokunin (craftsmen) for a long time and it’s finally happening! Thanks to Sakuraco, I was able to get special permission to film inside Midori
Seika, a Japanese traditional candy maker.

Midori Seika makes wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) in a specific category called half-wet confectionary (han namagashi), which means they contain 10-30% moisture. Their jelly candies are made with agar and are much softer in comparison to typical gummy candies made with gelatin.

    以前からずっとお菓子メーカーや職人さんを取材したいと思っており、Sakuracoさんのお陰で実現することができました。今回は、みどり製菓さんにお邪魔いたしました。お忙しい中、快く取材をお引き受けくださり、本当にありがとうございました!

  2. I've tasted Japanese gummy before and it is soft, chewy and very good. Each pieces is beautiful and artistic. The package is beautifully wrapped as well. Btw your cat never looked so good.

  3. These videos are so heart achingly wholesome. Thank you Sakuraco for blessing Jun(And Rachel) with this chance. Thank you Midori Seika for letting Jun bring us along! It brings me such joy and peace watching these in a world so consumed with unrest and focus upon the bad. We need a bit more of Jun-shine and people like this to make the world a bit brighter for everyone. 🙂 Stay safe everyone, take care of yourself and have a wonderful day.
    Love from Sweden.

  4. Hey Jun, I know this is silly to ask but does Sakuraco have a halal/muslim-friendly option for assorted snacks in a box?

  5. 日本の和菓子は見た目がとても綺麗で、味も上品なので大好きです。取り上げて下さってありがとうございます!いつもかわいい猫ちゃんたちとお料理しているのを拝見しています🌼🐈

  9. i love you and rachel’s content! they’re very inspiring to me. keep it up! ❤

  10. If I were to see these I would think they were machine made. To see the care, thought, and love they put into the design along with the hard work, is amazing. It makes me want to go and see the store just to marvel at the details they put into their candy. Thank you so much for sharing!

  11. If I have a boss who calls me at 3pm for snack break everyday, I would do that job for 25 years and more
