Kawagoe Pudding is a pudding specialty store located in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture. Situated on Kura no Machi Street, it has become a popular sweets spot for those touring Koedo Kawagoe.
This time, I tried the most basic pudding called “Smooth.” As the name suggests, the smoothness is incredible. The texture is superb, and the sweetness is just right. You can eat this endlessly.
The flavor is also excellent, with a pleasant vanilla aroma. It’s made with high-quality natural Madagascar vanilla beans. The dedication to carefully selected ingredients and methods shines in this product. One bite, and your mouth is filled with happiness.
The portion is just the right size to fit in one hand, making it perfect for eating while walking.
There are also other varieties such as Kawagoe Sweet Potato, Kawagoe Matcha, and Koedo Retro, with seasonal offerings like strawberry and yuzu.
When it comes to sightseeing in Koedo Kawagoe, exploring the Edo-style streets is a must. Along with that, enjoying local flavors is also a highlight. There are many eateries offering famous dishes like eel and sweet potatoes, but be sure to visit Kawagoe Pudding for a sweet treat. The rich and smooth texture is something you can only experience here, and it comes highly recommended.
It’s also a perfect spot to take a break when you’re tired from walking around, offering a sweet moment of relaxation. Plus, the cute packaging makes it an ideal souvenir that’s sure to be appreciated.
Using local ingredients, it has been over six years since Kawagoe Pudding was founded. It’s not just a trend among the youth—it has become a staple in Koedo Kawagoe tourism. Kawagoe Pudding, recognized as a Koedo Kawagoe Brand Product, is now an established local specialty.
