The surreal odyssey of a young woman making sushi-shaped sweets bought in Japan: "Ni el Quimicefa"

The sweets in Japan have little to do with what we buy in Spain. In the Asian country, boxes filled with this material are common to build the shapes that seem most attractive to us. And it doesn't just sound appealing to little ones. Adults are also willing to try their luck in this kind of culinary puzzle.

That was the case of a Spanish woman who currently resides in Japan. She was curious about this concept of candy and tried her hand at assembling pieces of sushi.

However, the task was much more complicated than he thought. "I think that at 24 years old I can surpass a little boy," she explained before starting. And she herself anticipated the result: "Spoiler, no."

The more I read the instructions, the more difficult it became. "Not even Chemicefa," she assured, surprised. Nothing was going right for him. First, she made a mistake in the area where she had to pour the water. Once she cleared it up, she was able to mix each type of powder in the space reserved for each piece of sushi.

Then, we had to wait for the candy to take shape, but the appearance was not at all appetizing: "Do I really have to eat this?" And she herself acknowledged that "it had a nuclear aspect."

Although he managed to make all the sushi, the "look didn't invite you to try it." No matter how hard he tried, every time he put a piece in his mouth he put it back. "The taste is chemical, but the worst thing is the texture," he continues. On a score from 1 to 10, none of them went above a 2.
