Suddenly, is the pudding smooth and smooth? Or is it a purutto sect?

The author is by far the latter, but recently there are many shops that sell "smooth" puddings like cream, and there are few opportunities to meet puddings with moderate hardness.

Therefore, I would like to recommend the handmade pudding from the coffee lounge "High Mart" in Ikebukuro! The pudding offered here is just "just right" and insanely delicious!

■ Nostalgic taste

"High Mart" is located about 5 or 6 minutes walk from the east exit of JR Ikebukuro Station. The flag with a white coffee cup drawn in mustard color is a landmark.




I went there around 10 am on weekdays. There are about 7 or 8 customers in the retro and calm atmosphere. The interior is like an old-fashioned coffee shop, but it is neat and comfortable.


I ordered a "handmade pudding set". The price is 560 yen (tax included). The pudding with cream comes with coffee or tea (ice / hot). Drinks can be replaced for 200 yen.


The pudding that came in a few minutes after ordering is a little small. It is a feeling of size like a pudding topped in pudding a la mode.


When you poke it with a spoon, it sways with a solid core. Oh yeah, this is it! It is moderately hard and does not lose its shape even when scooped.


The first thing you feel when you put it in your mouth is the bittersweetness of caramel. Then the sweetness of the pudding that unravels on the tongue. It's elastic but smooth, and it's slippery and irresistible! I remembered the pudding that my grandmother made a long time ago.



The attached cream has a rich and melty taste. It's delicious not only with pudding but also with cream!


Coffee with a mild acidity has a refreshing and easy-to-drink aftertaste. It goes perfectly with sweet pudding.


I am very satisfied with the deliciousness of the pudding in a calm atmosphere! However, one thing to worry about is that it is not a type of shop where cigarettes are separated exactly, so people who are not good at smoking may be a little worried about the smell. On the contrary, I think it is a comfortable space for smokers.

Ikebukuro "High Mart" is recommended for hard puddings. Why don't you take a peek when you have time?
