This "Murakami Pudding Cake" is somewhat well-known and can be found at many high-speed rail stations. It specializes in traditional cakes, but honestly, after eating it, I'm still not quite sure where the "pudding" is. It's just a very fluffy, soft cake with a pleasant texture. This store in NanFang has a poor rating on Google Maps, apparently due to staff attitude, but I personally found it to be okay.

I’ve tried a few flavors and would personally recommend chocolate and strawberry. The chocolate has a rich flavor and isn’t too sweet, making it a more consistently good option. It has a subtle fragrance that makes you want to take bite after bite. The strawberry cake is just as soft as the original flavor and is filled with a thick filling similar to strawberry jam. Surprisingly, this jam keeps the cake from being dry, making it quite easy to eat, which is a plus.

I'm usually a matcha fan, but I found their matcha flavor to be only average; the matcha aroma isn't very prominent, possibly because the overall flavoring is quite mild, lacking the slight bitterness and sweet aftertaste that matcha typically has. So comparatively, I still recommend the chocolate or strawberry.

In terms of price, it's quite affordable, especially for a handmade cake, and you won't feel a sting buying it. Plus, it’s so easy to eat that before you know it, you’ve finished the whole thing—quite scary!
