ABOUT THE EVENT

Sugar, water, and live candy-making experience are the main ingredients that have built Papabubble’s success in Japan.

Similar to Amezaiku, Papabubble’s candies are made of basic ingredients commonly used in traditional hard candy making. The process involves heating the sugar mixture to a high temperature until it becomes malleable. Confectioners then stretch, fold, and shape the candy by hand, often incorporating intricate designs or personalized messages.

Founded in Barcelona, Spain, in 2004, Papabubble is an international chain of artisan candy shops known for their handcrafted hard candies and lollipops. What sets them apart is the live candy-making experience they offer in their stores, where customers can watch skilled confectioners create intricate designs.

Papabubble has expanded globally, with shops in various countries, bringing a unique blend of traditional candy-making techniques and modern artistic flair to sweet enthusiasts worldwide. Papabubble Japan was established in 2005 in the popular neighbourhood of Nakano. After opening its second shop in 2012, it has not stopped growing, now boasting 23 points of sale, having organized countless pop-up Candy Making Studios all over Japan, and helping many companies to personalize their events, adding a unique and sweet touch to corporate occasions.
