Question: What do you do when 6 feet wide and 440 pound jellyfish invade Japanese waters?

Answer: You turn them into sweet confectionaries of course!

The giant jellyfish, known as Nomura’s jellyfish or echizen kurage have been invading Japanese waters and are threatening fisheries and even nuclear power plants.

In an attempt to make use of the overpopulation of jellyfish, Obama Fisheries High School students have created a caramel space candy that’s infused with a powder made from the jellyfish.

While that does seem odd to those outside of Japan, it’s actually the second product from the team of students.  Already on Japanese store shelves in the Fukui prefecture, locals can dig into the jellyfish based Ekura-chan saku-saku cookies.
