5 Firm Puddings to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth in Tokyo

Pudding 1,200 yen

This trendy Tokyo cafe has made a name for its Amaretto Fresh Cream Puddings (1,200 yen including tax), which are baked by the famous patisserie de bon coeur in Musashi-Koyama. They’re so popular that they’re usually sold out by noon, so you’ll have to make a morning visit if you want to nab one yourself. The store is designed with an industrial-chic aesthetic while being a calm and comfortable place to take some time out for yourself.

DIXANS JIMBOCHO

DIXANS JIMBOCHO’s puddings perfectly combine elasticity and smoothness, with a not-too-sweet cream that’s blended with amaretto liquor giving the dessert a delicious almond flavor. When you order a pudding set menu, you can choose your preferred coffee, with the bitterness of the beans complementing the sweet treat. DIXANS JIMBOCHO is a three-minute walk from the A5 Exit of Jimbocho Station.
