The nostalgic bar & cafe "Depot" (DEPOT), located on the basement floor of Tokyo Station's echelon commercial facility GranSta Tokyo, has announced that its popular menu item "Nostalgic Bitter Pudding" claimed first place in a pudding poll held at GranSta Tokyo. The dessert is a GranSta Tokyo exclusive and has drawn support from a wide range of customers.
Voters praised it with comments such as "a grown-up flavor that goes beyond just sweetness" and "the firm texture and rich caramel are outstanding."
No. 1 in GranSta: "Nostalgic Bitter Pudding"
The "Nostalgic Bitter Pudding" is the signature dessert at DEPOT, evoking the atmosphere of Japan's classic kissaten (old-school coffee shop) culture. The pudding itself has a firm, dense texture, paired with an original bittersweet caramel sauce, resulting in a less-sweet, adult-oriented flavor.
The caramel sauce is made with espresso from the house-roasted coffee brand "JOE TALK COFFEE," adding the depth of coffee flavor to the bitterness of caramelized sugar. The combination brings out the richness of the pudding itself.
With its restrained sweetness, the pudding pairs well not only with coffee but also with beer and other alcoholic beverages during evening hours.
