Kamezawa had a hard time seeing this, and so did we, to be honest. This green gummy loaded with black and white specks is supposed to represent “uramaki,” or sushi that has nori seaweed on the inside rather than the outside. ▼ The final one: what on Earth could this be? Kamezawa couldn’t see it as anything else than a fried dango, but maybe you can see it for what it really is: “candy ikura,” or roe. ▼ Just two more! Can you guess what this ball of sushi goodness is? The correct answer, as you might have realized, is “candy kani,” or crab. It turns out she was close: they’re “candy edamame.” Kamezawa thought they looked just like snap peas, though she couldn’t figure out what they had to do with sushi. ▼ The last one was easy, but we bet you won’t be able to guess this one. The answer is “candy ebi,” or candy shrimp. ▼ If you look closely at the details of these pieces, it should be pretty easy. The bright green and pink-wrapped pieces of sushi looked like futomaki, or larger versions of the “candy maki” to Kamezawa. ▼ Mystery candy sushi number three: this is a tough one. The answer is “Candy Maki,” or wrapped sushi. That’s not even a sushi, though! However, it was hard for her to see it as anything else. “This looks like a battleship,” Kamezawa thought. The answer is: “Candy Nigiri.” Of course. ▼ The sushi rice is made with marshmallow. “Maybe kids would enjoy this more than I would,” Kamezawa thought, turning it over thoughtfully with a fork. The first was this fishy looking piece of candy, which makes sense, since most sushi is made with fish. ▼ Can you guess what each type is? Start keeping score. That’s when she realized each kind of sushi was labeled on the back of the package. She had to admit that it did look a bit like sushi from the top, but it was difficult to tell exactly which kind of sushi each piece was supposed to represent. ▼ All of this mystery for just 3.5 euros (US$3.86). 28 pieces, with a total of nine different types of “sushi” awaited her judgment. Kamezawa’s curiosity couldn’t be satisfied until she bought it, so buy it she did. ▼ It’s not sushi, and it’s never fun to share candy. Sushi candy would make much more sense, or “candy made to look like sushi,” but “candy sushi” was just outright wrong. “What? Candy sushi? That’s not right,” Kamezawa thought. ▼ Appropriately placed next to the advent calendars. What caught her eye almost immediately was something called “Candy Sushi.” That’s when Kamezawa noticed Chupa Chups sells more than just lollipops – a whole lot more. If you’ve been to Japan before, then you’ve probably seen Chupa Chups lollipops everywhere Japanese people love them so much that they’ve made accessories for them. When Ikuna Kamezawa from our editing staff made a trip to Spain, she noticed a candy store that sold products by Chupa Chups. Can you guess all of the types of sushi? (Spoiler: we couldn’t.)
