Papabubble

This international craft store, which started its activities in Barcelona, is now in many cities around the world, with the promise of “a unique experience in every piece of candy.”

The staff prepares sweets, cooking and coloring sugar and glucose in the back of the store, and then let the customer decide the weight, shape and other similar amenities.

Customers can buy bags or jars of candy with small drawings in their centers – sometimes fruit (cherries, watermelon), sometimes words (Love, Grace).

There are lollipops of enormous size, which would require days to be finished.

Papabubble also accept custom orders.

You can arrive there with a 15-minute walk from Shibuya Station.
