When visiting Atami, if you can only choose one dessert to try, most people would likely recommend "Atami Pudding."
As you stroll along the Atami shopping street, you can see the charming shop inspired by vintage milk bottles from afar, with a neat display of various pudding flavors in the window. From classic plain to matcha, strawberry, and limited edition fruity flavors, it's hard to resist stopping to choose.
This time, I chose the classic plain pudding.
After opening the lid, I first drizzled the accompanying caramel sauce, and the rich aroma of eggs immediately filled the air.
The texture is creamy and smooth upon entry, with a simple flavor reminiscent of nostalgic Showa-era tastes; the caramel sauce adds just the right amount of slight bitterness and sweetness, enriching the overall experience. It seems simple, yet one can feel the shop's dedication to the ingredients and craftsmanship.
Sitting outside the shop, enjoying the pudding while feeling the sea breeze and the leisurely vacation atmosphere of Atami is particularly pleasant.
The cute hippo logo and retro packaging are also perfect for taking memorable photos, which is no wonder it has become one of Atami's most representative souvenirs.
If you have the chance to visit Atami, take a moment to slow down, savor a bottle of Atami Pudding, and experience the unique sweet charm of this hot spring town.
