A Japanese Zen Rock Garden Made From Sweets www.spoon-tamago.com

In Japan, Zen rock gardens are considered, if nothing else, a source of serenity and relaxation.
Another source of relaxation – enjoying Japanese sweets – doesn’t necessarily go hand-in-hand with rock gardens.
But combining these two modern-day pleasures in an elegant design is the Shinan-ji Temple Rock Garden.
Named after a fictional temple, the miniature rock garden is actually made from entirely edible ingredients that include black sesame cubes (shaped like rocks) and a bed of sugar (resembling sand).
Although this set never made it to market, a Japanese company has created a similar edible Japanese garden DIY set.
