I didn't know that Atami actually had this famous pudding shop. After checking in on IG, a friend sent a message saying that he recommended that he go and eat the pudding. You will know after you learn more about it. "Atami Pudding" takes a bathhouse as its theme and uses the hippopotamus logo to represent the nostalgic design of Atami. It is a popular pudding specialty store for IG check-ins.
Then I checked Google Maps and found out that the No. 1 main store of Atami Pudding is actually directly opposite our hotel, so I must go to eat it no matter what.
I went to see it at about 10 o'clock in the morning, and there was actually a little queue. However, my friend said that they queued for a long time at first, but when I went to buy it this time, it might be because of the bad weather, and it was always raining. It was raining, so there were probably less than 10 people queuing up, and the actual purchase time was about 15 minutes.
In fact, when you eat it, the original pudding has a very dense texture, and with its caramel, it is very delicious overall. And you can notice that the bottle of brown sugar is also shaped like a hippopotamus, which is quite cute.
In addition, I also bought an extra matcha flavor. The matcha flavor does not come with caramel, but the pudding still tastes very sweet even if it has its own body. It overwhelms the matcha a little bit. If I really want to compare, I think The original pudding is more delicious.
Although there was a strawberry-flavored pudding in the photo, my wife ate it all, so I don’t know how it tasted.
Because Hippo Pudding also has many special peripheral products, I bought one of their ice packs, which is really cute. So if you come from Atami, if you can tolerate a little bit of queues, it is still recommended to try it out.
