The author, who has conquered all of the "Poppin' Cookin' Series" (as of winter 2017), a leading brand of educational snacks sold by Kracie, provides a summary of the difficulty level and interesting points!

Tanoshii Ramen Ya-san

Tanoshii Ramen Ya-san" is a game in which realistic-looking ramen and dumplings can be made. The difficulty level is 2 stars (the highest is 4 stars, same below).


The interesting point is the process of squeezing the "menen no moto" into the soup. It is also unique in that you can enjoy two different textures of noodles: soft noodles immediately after cooking and katamen after 10 minutes. It also looks quite ramen-like.




It looks just like the real thing, but when you try it, you will have a strange experience with cola-flavored soup and cola-flavored noodles. And there's even an educational candy ramen to round out the drinking experience! ...maybe?

Kurukuru Takoyaki

Kuru Kuru Takoyaki" can make takoyaki that look just like the real thing. The difficulty level is 2 stars.


The entire process of making the dough, pouring it into the mold, placing the octopus, baking, and topping can be enjoyed. Another interesting point is that you can start by molding the ingredients (octopus).




By the way, it smells and tastes like the real thing (?) as it is "mayo sauce flavor". close. However, the smell spreads when you cook it, so turn on the ventilation fan or open a window while you work.

Tanoshii no Matsuri-ya-san

Tanoshii Matsuri-ya-san" can make four kinds of food: apple candy, potato, corn, and chocolate banana. The difficulty level is 3 stars.


A little value for money set that allows you to enjoy making four different kinds of educational snacks in one box. The fun part is wrapping the "mashubu no moto" around the chewing gum corn. Although there is a lot to do, the process itself is simple and can be enjoyed by beginners.




It is more gorgeous when lined up on a festival sheet. Recommended for festival lovers.

Tanoshii Cake Shop

Tanoshii Cake Shop" allows visitors to enjoy making sweets that look just like the real thing. The difficulty level is 3 stars.


This set is full of "cute" things like pink, hearts, and cakes. The unique feature of this set is that two-tone cream can be squeezed out by filling the squeezing bag with two different kinds of cream. The process itself is simple, including making the cream, squeezing, and topping, but it takes a lot of time and effort to create a high-quality cake.




The cream can be squeezed in different ways or topped with different toppings, making this a dish that is worth rearranging.

Crepe shop

Crepe Ya-san" can make crepes that look just like the real thing. Difficulty level is 4 stars.


The interesting point is the process of rolling out the dough with the "Kururin Parts. This was unexpectedly difficult, and it took a lot of time to make the dough round and round. When I spread it out, I thought, "It worked! But when you lent it in the microwave, it shrinks and becomes distorted....



The toppings also require good taste. The trick is to gather the fruits and toppings at the top of the dough as much as possible. If you get it right, you will end up with a very cute crepe.

Taiyaki & Dango

Taiyaki & Odango " can be used to make realistic-looking taiyaki, mitarashi dango, strawberry daifuku, and ramune. The difficulty level is 2 stars.


Every task is easy, yet the quality of the finished product is high! And they're all rather tasty! It tastes as good as it looks, even though it has the feel of a candy bar. The taiyaki was just as good as usual.



This work is interesting!" The satisfaction level is high, although there is no point that says, "I'm happy with this product. This is also recommended for beginners of educational snacks.

Hamburger

Hamburger," which makes realistic-looking hamburgers, double burgers, fries, and kohlrah. Difficulty level is 3 stars.


The interesting point is the process of cutting the buns into chunks and inserting the ingredients.




It is said to taste "just like the real thing," but it is a little difficult to eat because of its overall squishiness. It also has a strong candy-like taste.

doughnut

Doughnuts," which can make realistic-looking doughnuts. The difficulty level is 1.5 stars.


All you have to do is knead the dough, mold it, and put on the toppings! It is also interesting that two colors of dough can be combined to make animal doughnuts.




Since there is little work and no mess, we recommend it for children who are trying out educational confectionery for the first time. And the finished product is just as cute!

Tanoshii Sushi-ya-san

Tanoshii Sushi Ya-san" is a sushi restaurant where you can make sushi that looks just like the real thing. The difficulty level is 3 stars.


The fun part is making salmon roe! The drops that you drop turn into salmon roe that looks just like the real thing. It was so much fun that I kept making it until I ran out of liquid.



The rice is like a fluffy jelly-like gummy substance.... The tuna and egg filling was grape flavored, and the salmon roe was a jelly to enjoy the crunchy texture. It would be a great souvenir to take overseas.

Let's make it! Bento!

Panda Onigiri, regular Onigiri, Karaage, Broccoli, Tamagoyaki, Taco Wiener, and Neapolitan can be made at " Tsukurou! Bento!" The The difficulty level is 3.


The interesting point is the panda onigiri, which is made by sticking "sesame shio" onto the onigiri with a flattened stick. If you are lucky, you may find a "winking panda-shaped" onigiri.



Incidentally, onigiri is soda, sesame shio is grape, broccoli is muscat, tamagoyaki is lemon, taco wiener is strawberry, and karaage is orange-flavored, giving it the feel of THE educational snack.

Tsukuro Okosama Lunch

Tsukurou Okosama Lunch" is a program to make children's lunch (omelette, chicken rice, fried shrimp, meatballs, and potatoes). The difficulty level is 3.5.


The interesting point is the process of frying shrimp like the real thing. The difficulty level is a little higher than the others. I think it was a little difficult to make the fried shrimp and omelette beautifully.



The flavors are: omelette is mixed juice, fried shrimp is orange, chicken rice is soda, fries are apple, meatballs are chocolate flavored, and ketchup is strawberry. I'm not surprised anymore.
