The Yusuke Seki Papabubble Candy Shop is a mad science-esque store designed to highlight the art of making tasty candied treats. The shop resides in Yokohama, Japan and is third location for the candy shop chain.
Laboratory tools and experimental processes are a key trademark to the Papabubble brand. Food coloring and flavors are stored in lab-appropriate flasks, beakers and test tubes. Customers are able to watch the candy making process happen right before their eyes, which provides an enhanced shopping experience and an eye-catching window display -- who wouldn't stop in after seeing mile-long taffy being pulled? The mad scientist vibe also translates onto the walls, where a contemporary brick back splash gives the feeling of being in an underground lab.
Delicious and experimental, the Yusuke Seki Papabubble Candy Shop is one stopover you won't regret.
