In Japan, children are already encouraged in artistic cooking from childhood. The company Kracie is famous for making candies that actually resemble foods like sushi, hamburgers, pasta, obento, pizza, taiyaki, drinks, takoyaki, and many others. Savory foods that are actually sweets, and you can even trick people. This type of product is called Popin Cookin!

The candy does not come fully prepared; it comes with a bunch of little bags with powder, for children and adults to make their own candy and then eat it. The kit usually comes with several bags where you must mix the powder in water inside the containers that come in the kit, and shape your food. Sometimes it may be necessary to put something in the microwave.
