Totti Candy Factory by Mary Pavlou

I’ve been a bit preoccupied these last few months, but in light of the Spring Equinox, I’d say that now is the time to start sprucing things up around here. Since I’d like to be more active on this blog, I thought I’d take the opportunity to share photos from my recent trip in Japan. So, without further ado…

トッティキャンディファクトリー!

While at the Totti Candy Factory you can also purchase take-away bulk candy or indulgent cake pops. Though we knew from the get-go that we just had to try the famous Totti Harajuku Special at roughly 900 yen. Take it from someone who used to spin cotton candy at Walt Disney World, this is not an easy task. Each cotton candy wand is made-to-order with various layers of flavored sugar.

My sister and I knew our limits when ordering, but we weren’t expecting each color to have a distinct flavor, but we were absolutely pleased sampling this monster.

My sister and I grossly underestimated just how much of this we could handle. While it was incredibly fresh and super sweet, we crashed about halfway through. I think one of these can serve about three people comfortably.
Although this is nothing new, I would absolutely recommend visiting Totti Candy Factory, if not for the colossal Harajuku Special, then perhaps for any of their other candy specialties.
