Ohirune Pudding with Smooth and Rich Egg Taste -Etude Confectionery Store in Asahikawa-

Etude Confectionery Store (エチュード洋菓子店) is in Asahimachi, Asahikawa city and was founded in 1984. Baked sweets such as Asahikawa Souffle (旭川スフレ) and Tenshi-no-Hohoemi Cheese Tart (天使のほほえみ) are known, but no matter what, Ohirune Pudding (ひよこのお昼ねプリン * Baby Chick's Lunchtime Nap Pudding) is very famous. It got the first place in "Pudding Palace 2006". Raw materials are an egg produced in Higashi-Asahikawa and milk produced in Okhotsk area. Visitors can enjoy Hokkaido taste. I purchased it immediately. The price was JPY 310. Because there was not a place for customers to enjoy foods at the store, I decided to return to my car and to eat it.

I unwrapped a packing with an illustration of a pretty chick and put a spoon into a pudding and had a bite. It has very smooth and thick egg taste. It was tasty! A sweetness increased when I mixed a pudding with caramel sauce and eat it. Because it was introduced at "Goro Hidaka show" broadcasted in Hokkaido for nearly 30 years, a commemorative shield was displayed at the store. That is great as expected, the Ohirune Pudding got the best in Japan.
