Japanese Puddings

I’ve posted on parfaits and pet jelly – now time for a pudding. This one really piqued the interest and taste buds – its bamboo charcoal sesame pudding! And it was very nice even if it is a variation from the standard yellow custard purin!

In Japan, the pudding is called purin and the most popular type of pudding is the custard purin that can be found in the 7-11 convenience stores.

But this sign is most confusing regarding puddings! It asks for the following acts to be prohibited in the building … I wonder what pudding acts they are talking about – ? The poor old pudding? (Click on the sign for a larger viewing!)

Thanks to highglosshighs on flickr I had a bit of a laugh on point 1!

Further unusual activities by the pudding is its ability to morph into a drink – try this good pudding post by Shibuya246.

For those who want the pudding in a quick convenience pack without too much fuss – you can try the pudding flavoured KitKats? Easy!

How the humble pudding moves in many ways around Japan – just delightful!
