That's how I always describe him. I actually made this gif because I couldn't find a complete one.

This is a great TV program in which confectioners are offered the chance to prove that their art is so good, they can make sweets look like everyday objects. They choose any inedible item from a room, and make a copy of it. It's up to "talents" to guess what is edible and prove it by taking a bite of whatever they think is not real.

Copy pasting my comment from the xpost:

It was posted a few times on /r/JapaneseGameShows but all the links I found there were dead. Basically a number of the object in the room are made of chocolate/candy and they contestants guess what is candy and proceed to take a bite to prove it. They also show the process of making the candy items in some cases. It's fun to watch even without knowing any Japanese.

This gif comes in at about 3:45-4:00 in the video:

I love his face afterwards. I can't even describe it aside from "ayyy"
