Edible Crystal (3 ingredients)

A few month ago, I interviewed a confectionary company called Midori seika in Osaka and learned about how to make kohakutou, which is a sweet Japanese jelly made of agar. After I came back to Fukuoka, I found a local company that makes beautiful kohakutou and it made me wanna try making it myself.

50g tengusa & 2500ml water
or
8g-10g Agar powder & 250ml water

250-300g granulated sugar

food coloring
any flavoring you like

Juns channel is the definition of quality over quantity

Rachel saying that she would have loved this project as a kid reminded me of an old video of them where they go to a Geology Museum and Rachel mentions how she loves geology. Parents, I encourage you to try projects like this with your kids, that's how kids discover their passions!

That’s some 99.1% pure content right there!

A cat walking on sand and then rolling on wet sand! Cats cooperatively supervising the production! Jun making everything anew as Poki wanted to do quality control! And … the hand of Rachel.

Now we straight up leaving food behind and just making art. Jun has no limits to his creativity and skill, it seems.

Jun, we have to COOK! We’re making blue crystal!

As a child I would look at pretty sparkling rocks and think "It's sad I can't crunch on these" as soon as I saw these candies as an adult I immediately purchased them. They are *extremely* fun to eat.

How are you not being sponsored? Someone better sponsor you or several people. You and your channel are as close to perfection as one could be. You are a great teacher. Thank you

One of the things I really love about these videos. HOW much love is shown for those cats. It's DELIGHTFUL!

I think I replayed watching Haku get startled by the water on the beach like 5 times. It was so cute and funny! And he didn't run out but seemed fine with it after.

I love how your Food Inspectors are always on-hand to ensure the highest quality and safety in food handling and preparation.

"He might actually eat it"
"He did try to actually eat it"
Comedy in its natural habitat XD

This reminds me of how liqueur candy is made. You heat the liqueur you want to use, dissolve sugar into it, and pour it into a mold made of corn flour. The molds are made by pressing shapes into a bed of corn flour (or corn starch).

As it cools, the sugar crystallizes on the surface of the liquid, forming a shell, just like it did in these things when they dried.

The resulting capsules can then be taken from the mold and covered in chocolate.

Cats, cristals, food, pretty scenaries, nice people, nice music... Jun's videos are working better than therapy 😂

It's 3:30 AM where I live. I felt lonely sitting on my couch in the dark, and wanted to learn something new.
I am so happy I found this channel, I love watching your cats focus on you, and how you include them in your cooking.
I wish you so much happiness,
ありがとう ございます!

[Iuckystarz]

despite not uploading on a daily basis or making long videos that span for over half an hour, i will always appreciate the work and effort that jun goes through while creating these videos! i can sit here for hours just rewatching the same video and never get tired because of how well done it is. keep up the great work jun :)

[razinrosli]

Jun's back and he's cooking crystal meth with his cats 👍

[Willowny]

Watching you cook is so relaxing. Letting your cats sniff the ingredients is simply adorable. Thank you.
