PAPABUBBLE's Innovative Triangle-Shaped Candies

PAPABUBBLE, renowned for its artisan candy craftsmanship, is set to release the third installment of its playful "ARTY" series on June 18. This new edition features a daring new shape: the triangle, inspired by the cherished Japanese rice ball known as "onigiri."

Traditionally, PAPABUBBLE's candies are round, created by skilled artisans stretching large, hand-crafted masses into their iconic shapes. The introduction of the triangle posed a unique challenge, as it requires precise control of angles and edges throughout the production process. This intricate method of maintaining the triangular shape while achieving uniformity is a testament to the exceptional skills of PAPABUBBLE’s craftsmen.

The debut of the triangle shape coincides perfectly with Japan's "Onigiri Day," which occurs on June 18, leading to a limited release of these whimsical delights. Made with vibrant fruit flavors that may surprise those expecting a rice ball, these candies are not just visually striking; they also deliver a burst of fruity goodness, making them a delightful treat for both the eyes and the palate.

A Craftsmanship Challenge

Creating the triangle-shaped candy required extensive trial and error to ensure that every edge and corner retained its vibrancy and complex flavor. This edition showcases the visual impact, with flavor profiles that include unexpected fruity notes, offering a fun contrast to their "onigiri" appearance.

Artisans intricately represent various toppings traditionally found on rice balls, including pickled cod roe (tarako), salmon roe (ikura), and red rice (sekihan) through careful selection of colors and textures, further enhancing the appeal of each piece.

PAPABUBBLE's artisans put their exceptional craftsmanship on display in a video available on YouTube, showing the fascinating behind-the-scenes process of creating these unique candies. You can check it out here.

The limited edition Onigiri Mix will retail for a price of 740 JPY (including tax), making it an affordable festivity for both candy lovers and newcomers.
