Could you please tell me what this term is in English? In the dictionary it's 'wheat-gluten figures', but that doesn't make sense. Is there a special term? Is it some kind of pastry?
Thank you!
Thank you!

: I would probably insert the word "edible" in front. See the website www.amezaiku.com for both Japanese and English descriptions, history and pictures.

: All are indeed edible but especially the big ones are just for show and no one really eats them so I don't think you would need to insert "edible"; it's subsumed in the original meaning of the word, "candy."
