KraciePopin' Cookin' DIY Candy Sushi Kit, No Bake, 1 Ounces (Pack Of 1)

Five stars but it didn’t really taste good but I did like the soy sauce. Soy sauce was the best thing but the everything like was like really squishy and it didn’t really taste like the gummy so I give it five stars because it was a cool packaging and cause it was really easy to make But just didn’t taste too good reviewed by a seven-year-old

This was so fun to make. The sushi roll part was kinda little so I had to make it stretch but overall great. The taste was surprisingly good, just like candy

I bought this as a gift and they absolutely loved it. We made it together and it was so fun to make. All you need is water. It’s not the best tasting thing in the world but the presentation and how fun it is to make it, makes up for it. I’ve done a few of these and I like this one specifically because of the different textures. I’d recommend for a gift!

I mean it’s a fun thing for kids, simple but sadly its texture isn’t something I can handle. The flavors are there but not really? Like it gets watered down even if you add the right amount. The quality of the packaging and labeling is really nice though, the directions are pretty easy to follow so I can give something based off of those.

Pros:To clarify, when I say photogenic, I mean compared to Tanoshii Bento, it's easier for anyone to replicate the sushi and will likely look just like it does on the box. There might be a better word for it, but there's a sense of pride when you finish a kit that looks like the product on the box. Don't expect that feeling when doing tanoshii bento though, lol. The flavors are delicious, and molecular gastronomy Is so fun. You'll be experiencing that when you make the roe (popping pearls).Delicious flavors, especially the rice.Expert mode: if you are used to these kits and want a challenge, try making a completely different food than the one its made for. Like a pizza ;D And as suggested on other listings, try adding citric acid to anything that isn't gummy/jellies for a little more tartness.Cons:My favorite item in this whole kit is the delicious nori chew (it's the seaweed that holds the roe, or popping bubbles together). It's actually made with real squid ink, but when the roe comes in contact with it, it gets wet and begins to bleed. Just drain the roe as best as possible before adding.Overall, I love this set, and wish there was more roe.

I’m amazed this actually looks just like the picture. I did this with my sushi loving 4 year old and it was easy, looked and tasted good.

This Popin' Cookin' kit is probably my favorite. It is super cute,easy to make,and fun.It tastes and smells really good. Overall I recommend this.👍👍👍

This is the second Popin Cookin set I've tried: the first being the ramen, which was basically just mushy candy noodles soaked in vaguely cola-flavored sugar sludge. I wanted to give the brand another shot, seeing that the ramen had at least been fun to make. What drew me to this set was the roe, which seemed super interesting to me: basically, you use a dropper to drop little droplets of liquid into another liquid that comes with the set, and it solidifies on contact, making a bunch of cute little roe balls.So I figured I would give Popin Cookin another shot with the sushi set. As expected, it was really fun to assemble. The roe part was the best part, as expected. But then it came time to assemble and taste the candies I'd spent about 5 minutes making... and they were not at all worth the effort.Let's start with the biggest problem: there is too much of some components and too little of other components. I followed the instructions as told, even using the little plastic pouch to measure things out. But there was still too little of the "rice" to make decent sushi, and too much of everything else. the tuna and egg gummies were incredibly oversized compared to the rice balls, which made it incredibly difficult to put them on (one of the tuna gummies fell apart in the process.) Not only that, but even with the instructions provided I couldn't knead the seaweed chewy candy tall enough to actually make the roe sushi: I could only put a little scoopful on top and the rest spilled out. Even then, there would be so much roe left over. Not to mention the soy sauce. There's too much of it and I can barely dip my sushi into it anyway without it all falling apart.Now we get into the taste. My first biggest problem is the texture: everything is just so bland and mushy. The tuna and egg gummies fall apart in your mouth, and the rice has the texture of overcooked rice mush. Not to mention, nothing tastes like it's supposed to. The rice was supposed to be ramune flavored, but it just tasted like sugar syrup. I don't even know what the tuna and egg were supposed to taste like, but they just tasted like sugar syrup too. There's really no distinct flavors, just a bunch of sugary mush. I know some Japanese candies are just more mildly flavored compared to candies here in the States, but this is beyond mild-- it's just mush. As for that soy sauce I mentioned earlier, it was almost identical to the broth from the ramen kit. Completely inedible. The only things I did enjoy were the seaweed chewy candy, and the roe. Once again, if it weren't for ya boi roe this kit would have absolutely nothing going for it. They were the only part of this kit that actually tasted like something, and they pop in your mouth sort of like a smaller popping boba. I ended up giving the rest of the sushi to the trash bin and just scooping the roe out with the little plastic shovel.Overall, if you're looking for a fun little DIY experiment to sink 5 minutes into, then this is the product for you. If you actually want to enjoy the candy you make, though, I'd look somewhere else. The only reason this got 2 stars instead of 1 is because of ya boi roe.
