Ryugetsu Hokkaido Pudding

Fresh Hokkaido cream packed onto the smooth velvety custard pudding. They taste great on their own, i.e. the cream has the light, ethereal subtle milky taste while flavour of the eggs in the custard is very distinct. When eaten together, they complement so well together, adding an extra silkiness to the texture and balancing the overall taste.

Hidden at the bottom of the beautiful, dainty porcelain jar is a layer of molten caramel. The slightly bitter, charred taste of the caramel adds a whole new dimension to this confectionery, bringing it up to more than just another very nice pudding.

Produce from Hokkaido

The best gems of this Hokkaido fair are the milk and Farm Designs yoghurt cheesecake (The dried food are not included since I did not try them).

The milk is absolutely sublime; being as refreshing as spring water without compromising on the aromatic creamy (not milky) taste.

The yoghurt cheesecake is very creamy, and of pure cheesecake goodness with very light hint of sourness.

The souffles are melt in your mouth quality, the taste is good, though I prefer Hakodate's cheesecake, which is more aromatic.

The strawberry cube puff looks good and is filled with lots of custard, though I find the taste to be quite ordinary and there is slight weird taste.

As for the crab inari sushi, my suggestion is to eat the crab meat separately from the inari beancurd skin. The inari's taste is too sweet and overpowering that totally eclipses the delicate taste of the crab. The crab is actually pretty good with the subtle taste of the sea, so don't waste it with the inari.
