A classic cup sweet, pudding. At convenience stores, in addition to the products of confectionery makers, original products of each company are also sold.


Among them, FamilyMart has 4 types of normal puddings (in Tokyo, as of January 2016), except for unusual puddings such as chocolate pudding and pumpkin pudding. The lineup consists of "rich custard pudding," "milk and egg flavored pudding," "toro-ri touching raw toro pudding," and "kuchidoke luxury pudding."

As far as the name is concerned, they seem to have different appeal points. But how much difference does it really make? I was curious, so I tried to compare the foods and think about the scenes that were suitable for each food.

■ Rich custard pudding 190 yen (tax included, same below)

The simplest package. The other three types have a best-by date of two weeks or more, but this one is three days later. Only one product is quick.


It has a smooth and smooth texture and a moderate sweetness. In addition to the rich egg flavor as the name suggests, you can feel the richness of milk.


The caramel sauce claim is weak, probably because the taste of pudding is strong. It has the most texture of the four types and is stuffy, so it's perfect when you want to fill your stomach with sweets.

■ Milk and egg flavor and melting pudding 108 yen

The size is slightly smaller than others, and the price is the lowest.


As the name suggests, it has a smooth texture that melts. The flavor of milk is stronger than that of eggs. The gentle sweetness makes me feel nostalgic.


The caramel also has a simple sweetness and a relatively refreshing taste overall. From the point of view of size, it seems to be good when you are full but want to eat dessert.

■ Toro-ri Impressive Raw Toro Pudding 152 yen

It's hard to find a pudding with "impressive" in its name. Expectations rise.


When you open the plastic lid, you will find the caramel sauce that comes with it.


Furthermore, when the lid of the film is peeled off, it becomes thick ... pudding?
A pudding rather than a liquid that has a question mark. When eaten with caramel sauce, it melts and spreads on the tongue. The richness of the egg is strong, and it may be close to custard cream.


It's almost like a drink, but it's sweet from the moment you eat it to the aftertaste, so it has a voluminous feel. Anyway, I want to eat sweets! By all means at that time.

■ FamilyMart Premium Kuchidoke Luxury Pudding 210 yen

The most expensive "Famima Premium Series" pudding of the four types. The high-class package based on black and gold has a number of promising phrases such as "using pure fresh cream from Hokkaido", "with special amber caramel sauce", and "with vanilla beans from Madagascar". The fact that you can't see the contents at all is like an invisible high-class restaurant inside the restaurant, and you'll be thrilled.


Caramel sauce is also included here.



The mouthfeel is not even "toro" but "smooth". It melts away in an instant, and the taste of elegant milk and the sweet scent of vanilla spread. The caramel sauce is bittersweet and has a full-fledged charred flavor.
As the name suggests, you can enjoy a "luxury" feeling, so it's a good idea to relax at home at night. You can combine it with Western liquor.


Compared to eating, the puddings were more unique than I expected. If you are unsure which one to use, please refer to it.
