Shopping Guide
Delicious custard puddings made by Pudding Laboratory will be available in store for the first time ever at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store Sweets Event Corner from June 1 through the 13!
Pudding Lab puddings are usually only available by mail order, but very occasionally you might spot them at special store events, and one of those rare events is taking place this month! The owner of Pudding Lab will also be in store on some days during the event period, so if you're lucky you might even get the chance to hear more about Pudding Lab products and the things that are most important to Pudding Lab when it comes to making pudding.
About Pudding Lab
Pudding Lab is a mail order store that specialises in custard puddings, and it refuses to compromise on the quality of the raw ingredients, recipes, and everything else that goes into the creation of its puddings. To ensure that its puddings are in perfect condition upon arrival at a customer's home, Pudding Lab uses a cooked-to-order system, meaning that each pudding is only made once an order has been placed.
From classic custard pudding to rich matcha pudding made using the very finest matcha that costs ￥10,000 for 30 grams, Pudding Lab produces an incredible variety of puddings. You can choose up to 2 of the 12 different varieties of sauces available, so depending on which you decide, hundreds of different flavour combinations are possible!
The Pudding Lab Pudding Selection
Smooth Shin-Pudding and Firm Shin-Pudding ￥735 (incl. tax)
The name of Shin-Pudding is a play on words using "simple" and "pudding", and the "Shin" part uses the Japanese character 真, which means "true" or "genuine." It's a pudding that is made using the finest of ingredients, which the owner of Pudding Lab travelled across Japan personally to discover, and the taste of these ingredients shines through.
Specialty Coffee Pudding ￥951 (incl. tax) and Pudding Blend Coffee Pudding ￥735 (incl. tax)
Enjoy the aroma and fruity sourness of high quality coffee in the form of a pudding with these coffee puddings created in cooperation with Specialty Coffee Unir in Kyoto.
Tahiti Vanilla Pudding and Madagascar Vanilla Pudding, each ￥843 (incl. tax)
The fragrance of vanilla varies greatly depending on where it's grown. Pudding Lab created these puddings to demonstrate that difference. These puddings are rich, made using the highest grade vanilla beans and a generous helping of fresh cream.
Irish Malt Whiskey Black Tea Pudding and Assam Black Tea Pudding, each ￥735 (incl. tax)
These puddings are made using extravagant amounts of black tea from the long-established German black tea producer, Ronnefeldt, whose tea is often served in the world's fanciest 5-star hotels. Working in collaboration with the tea masters at Ronnefeldt, Pudding Lab established a unique way of brewing tea through temperature control, and by combining this method with the use of three times more tea leaves than usual, the egg contained in these puddings doesn't mute the aroma and flavour of the black tea.
Rich Matcha Pudding￥6,372 (incl. tax) and Mild Matcha Pudding ￥3,888 (incl. tax) - Limited Quantity
This matcha pudding was made under the supervision of Sougo Kobayakawa, a tea ceremony instructor at the Urasenke School of Tea. By carefully preparing each serving of matcha, its sweetness and fragrance is fully drawn out, resulting in a pudding that will have you thinking "This tastes exactly like matcha!" from the very first mouthful.
