Custard Pudding is Everywhere in Japan!


Japanese people love custard pudding! We call it “purin,” and have a wide variety of purin in Japan.

Pastry shops and bakeries often have their original flavored purin that are made from brand-name eggs and milk or local specialties.

This purin is Patisserie TeenKarbel’s “edamame bean purin.” It is cute and very summery.

Balloon purin is a fun dessert. When you pop it with a toothpick, milk pudding comes out!

At supermarkets and convenience stores, you can find different brands’ purin.

These purin are all from a convenience store. I think you can tell how Japan loves purin by seeing the variation (^_^)

“Purin Shake” is for a quick dessert time. You have to shake it before eat (or drink) it, or it won’t come out.
