Anko Pudding

Anko Pudding is a thick, handmade pudding layered with anko (red bean paste), a sweet unique to anko specialty stores. Anko Pudding is made with a carefully calculated balance of ingredients so that the flavor of anko (red bean paste) stands out. The dough made from eggs, cream, and sugar is steamed in an oven and topped with a generous amount of anko (red bean paste) carefully cooked by a craftsman.

The use of fresh cream instead of milk, which is usually used for pudding, gives the pudding a smooth and melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the vanilla bean adds a rich aroma. A bittersweet caramel sauce is added under the pudding as an accent. You can enjoy the marriage of pudding, red bean paste, and caramel by scooping them together. It is also recommended to enjoy it half-frozen like ice cream.
