Amezaiku is a traditional Japanese art dating back to the 8th century. It consists in sculpting sugar into various animal or plants shapes.

​

Originating from China, this art took its full meaning in the street, during festivals, with the sweets being made in front of passers-by.

​

The Amezaiku is gradually disappearing, with less than 100 craftsmen practicing it in the world,, and Claire-Line is its only representative in Europe.

With the sweet taste of candy and the appearance of a glass sculpture, these lollipops are made by taking a ball of sugar syrup at 90°C and shaped by hand and with Japanese scissors. These candies have to be sculpted within a few minutes, before they cool down!
