新江ノ島水族館の冬のイベント【Jewerium】限定こうぶつヲカシの開発秘話

The secret story behind the development of the limited edition Animal Okashi at the Enoshima Aquarium's winter event [Jewelium]

This time, we have created original animal figures with sea creatures as their motif for Enoshima Aquarium's winter event, "Jewelium" !

What is Jewelium?

"Jewelium" is a winter-only event at Enoshima Aquarium that combines gemstones with an aquarium, with the theme of the three elements of gemstones: transparency, color, and brilliance.
You can enjoy the fusion of shining creatures in the ocean and the beautiful interior design.

And here is a box that features amber sugar fruit jellyfish, a ribbon moray eel, and a sea slug, all of which are sea creatures introduced in each chapter of the special aquarium.

"Jewelium x Harape Collaboration: Animal Wokashi"
The design on the inside of the box also tries to express the shimmer and sparkle of aquarium water.
Try your hand at creating sea creatures using amber sugar!
To be honest, it was quite difficult,
It turned out to be a lovely piece of work.
Introducing the freshly cut, transparent appearance!
The moon jellyfish is captivating with the beauty of its transparent body.
It is expressed with a pale blue animal motif.
The flavor is blueberry.

The piece I created through much trial and error is this sea slug.

After repeated trial and error, they decided to use edible powdered charcoal to express the spotted pattern of the sea slug.
Using this, we carve and layer the base agar, which is dotted with black spots in a balanced manner resembling sea slugs.
It has distinctive yellow antennae.
It is made by cutting a tiny piece of fluorite in half.
By the way, the base of the sea slug is made from a lactic acid bacteria drink, so you can enjoy its refreshing flavor!

Freshly cut sea slugs sparkling in the setting sun.
This design is inspired by the image of a bright blue ribbon eel peeking out from between the rocks and coral.
It looks like a mineral ore.
Freshly cut.
"Jewelium x Harape Collaboration Animal Okashi" can be purchased at the Enoshima Aquarium Main Shop.
