Bimi Ryori Kenkyujo Purinyasan

As the name suggests, this is a pudding speciality shop that's located halfway between Okusawa and Den-en-Chofu stations. Their Okusawa Custard (¥400) is named after the area and is made from rich milk (two and a half times thicker than regular milk, they say) and eggs from Iwate. Plenty of vanilla beans are used to bring out the milky flavour, and you can choose from two types of caramel sauce. For those looking for something more eggy, we recommend the Shuri no Sato pudding (¥350), this one made with free-range eggs from Kochi.
