What is zodiac candy?
First of all, what is zodiac candy?
Zodiac candy is a best-selling product that myame has been selling for 12 years. It is a type of candy that is manufactured using the traditional Japanese kumiame technique and incorporates the zodiac signs representing the year into its design.
●“Zodiac candy” that makes the recipient smile
It would be nice to have a small souvenir as a New Year’s greeting. I would like to gently hand it over to the customer when paying for the first sale. I want to give something to a friend or relative I haven’t seen in a while. “Zodiac candy” was born from such a feeling of “warm consideration.” Sales began 12 years ago with the motif of the new year’s zodiac, and this is the first time the dragon motif has appeared.
What is Kumiame?
What exactly is kumiame? Many people may be wondering.
Kumiame is a type of candy that has the same pattern no matter how you cut it, and is a kind of candy that people of all generations have probably seen at least once.
I’ll show you how to make it and watch a video of how I made the Year of the Tiger.
[Video 2: The pattern is the same no matter where you cut it, but each grain is distorted and each grain has a different expression.
This “one-of-a-kind expression in the world” captivates those who see it and those who taste it.
2024 is the year of the dragon.
After Christmas, the New Year will come next.
At myame, preparations for next year’s zodiac candy are in full swing. Next year, 2024, will be the year of the dragon. Even though we are flooded with orders, our craftsmen carefully manufacture each grain one by one.
We will tell you about the latest factory status.

I am nervous because it depends on the completion of the project. [Image 5

When assembled, it will be as thick as a telephone pole.
From here, pull it little by little by hand and cut it.
