Miyuki - candy artist at World Showcase Japan
Just got back from WDW and one of our favorite memories was watching Miyuki take soft rice dough and creating beautiful animals in just minutes at the Japan pavillion in Epcot! My family and I were fortunate enough to be front and center so Miyuki asked my DD7 what animal she would like created. Just before Miyuki had shown up a squirrel had come right up to my DD7 so we all thought it would be neat if Miyuki made a squirrel. About 3 minutes later she had taken a soft ball of dough and shaped it into a squirrel holding a nut, which she eventually presented to my daughter after it had "set". It was amazing to watch her. Apparently she is one of just a handful of people in the world with this skill and the only woman I believe. She performs a couple of times a day. She also made a tiger and a monkey while we were watching. If you are planning on visiting Epcot I would definitely schedule this into your day and arrive a little early. She can only do so many sculptures at a time.

I agree that it is amazing watching her work. We always try to be near Japan for one of her show times. On our honeymoon she made my wife a Koala bear, and this last trip she made us a bald eagle.
Definitely worth taking the time to stop and watch her work.

How do you transport her sculptures home?
I remember once when I asked a friend if I could get her something from WDW, thinking like a stuffed Tigger, she asked for one of those candy sculptures! I told her I'd do what I could.

I agree - she is amazing! I haven't seen her on my last two trips, but always love to watch.

We have not had the opportunity to see her but we are going to look for her on our next visit. I think my DS's would enjoy this.

DH and I wanted to see her, but we were too tired and decide to head back to our resort to nap.

We finally got to see her for the first time during our trip in March. Miyuki is very talented, but can be very difficult to understand.
All-in-all, definitely worth the 15 minutes to watch her make the candy.
