Authentic sushi made with only flour and water.
Some might wonder, 'Can you actually make sushi with sweets?'
Believe it or not, by simply mixing dedicated powder with water, you can easily make the sweets from rice to toppings! It's surprising that you can even make soy sauce for dipping with just powder and water, isn't it?
The red, bumpy pearls floating in the water are "Ikura"(salmon roe)! Place ingredients like tuna on white rice, form them into sushi, and it's ready on the plate. Anyone can easily transform into a sushi chef.
The white rice has a soda flavor, the tuna has a grape flavor, and the Ikura has a mandarin orange soda flavor, resulting in sweet and delicious sushi!
A hamburger set that has been faithfully replicated down to the packaging.
This hamburger is a bit more challenging to make compared to sushi.
By mixing dedicated powder with water and heating it in the microwave, you can create the bread and fries. The topping on the cheese is actually ketchup, but the texture looks incredibly authentic, doesn't it?
A deluxe set is complete with two hamburgers, fries, and coke! The package for the drink and fries, as well as the tray underneath, are accessories that come with educational sweets.
Of course, the created hamburger set can be enjoyed as delicious sweets.
