A Very Special Japanese Candy. 8:00-9:00a ET
LU STOUT: Welcome back. You're watching News Stream. Now, let's show you the azure window. The jewel in Malta's tourism crown. But overnight, it collapsed when a powerful storm sent the limestone arch just straight into the Mediterranean sea. Now, Malta's prime minister posted a photo of what it looks like now and called the scene heartbreaking. Now, the arch, it may look very familiar to you if you are a Game of Thrones fan. In fact, it was the backdrop in the very first episode and it was also featured in the movie The Clash of the Titans. And finally, and a Japanese family has been making a special candy for six generations. It involves sculpting massive slabs of taffy into tiny works of art. Here's CNN's Will Ripley.</s>WILL RIPLEY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: This is the whimsical land of Watanabe-san. His family started this candy shop more than 140 years ago. Since then, he's the fifth generation to sink his hands into this: larger than life pounds of clumps of massive globs of sugary candy that almost magically turns into what they have affectionately called Kintaro Ami (ph).</s>RIPLEY: Watanabe's great-grandfather made a way to make a candy with the face of a folk hero inside of it. As legend has it, Kintaro had superhuman strength. He was so strong as a child he wrestled a bear and won. For decades, he's been Japan's sweetest superhero.</s>RIPLEY: Among those trainees is the next heir to this candy factory. From father to son, the tradition continues.</s>RIPLEY: It takes about 25 minutes to go from this Play Doh-like sculpture to pieces of hard candy. But within those minutes, the stakes are high. But that doesn't stop this duo from getting a little creative with their edible portraits.</s>RIPLEY: It's difficult but not impossible. Now the leader of the free world is crystallized into one sugary bite.</s>LU STOUT: I want to visit that candy factory. That is it for News Stream. I'm Kristie Lu Stout, but don't go anywhere. World Sport with Patrick Snell is next. END
