[CLOSED] SPOON – A Charming Pudding Specialty Shop in Nishi-ku, Kumamoto City with Deliciously Firm Retro Pudding
2022.10.01

Welcome to SPOON
Hello, travelers! This is Mofumofu ๐, writer for [SaruKuma].
Today I’m thrilled to introduce a delightful little gem located in Joyamashimodai, Nishi-ku, Kumamoto City
[SPOON] ๐ฎโจ

I’ve been dying to visit this shop forever! As a self-confessed pudding lover, I finally โ FINALLY โ made it here ๐โจ
What a stylish little spot it is!
I was so excited that I forgot to snap a photo of the parking lot, but there’s space for about 5โ6 cars right in front of the shop!

Step inside and your eyes will sparkle at the sight of beautifully lined-up puddings and panna cottas!
They sell out quickly, so I highly recommend calling ahead to reserve.

[Retro Pudding] ยฅ350
A simple, nostalgic flavor with that classic firm texture. Perfect for fans of traditional Japanese-style pudding!
Letting it rest for a day (eating it the next day) makes it even denser and firmer ๐คค

[Custard Pudding] ยฅ350
Rich with fresh cream and incredibly smooth on the palate.
Silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a sweeter caramel โ kids will love it โช

[Panna Cotta] ยฅ350
Choose from three sauces: strawberry, mixed berry, or mango!

And there’s more…
[Retro Pudding Shake / Custard Pudding Shake] ยฅ500
[Ice Pudding] (frozen pudding) ยฅ350
It wasn’t on the menu, but they also serve coffee โ

There’s also a seating area in the back of the shop, perfect for enjoying your treats on a sunny day โจ

Behold these glorious puddings! ๐ฎโจ
From left: Custard Pudding and Retro Pudding โช

Aren’t they just colorful, adorable, and totally drool-worthy ๐คค๐
From left: Mixed Berry, Strawberry, and Mango.

Yes! Pudding-loving Mofumofu ๐ bought every single flavor (lol).
The packaging is also adorable, making these the perfect souvenir gift โจ

I decided to savor the puddings slowly at home, so I started with the [Retro Pudding Shake] ๐ฎ๐
To put it mildly: ‘WOW! AMAZING!!!’
Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be coming back โโ

Once home, it was finally pudding time โช
Since I’d already had the Retro Pudding shake and wanted to let the other rest a day, I dug into the [Custard Pudding] ๐ฎ
‘Mmm… pure happiness โกโก’
Incredibly smooth, sweet but never cloying! After this, no other pudding compares.
By the way, there’s a recommended order for eating these two puddings!
โ Retro Pudding first โก then Custard Pudding
Because the Custard Pudding is sweeter, eating it first might make the Retro Pudding feel underwhelming ๐

Next up, the [Panna Cotta (Mango)] โช
The lightly sweet panna cotta pairs beautifully with the refreshing mango sauce!

The strawberry and mixed berry options are loaded with chunky fruit pieces โ
The gently sweet panna cotta and tangy-sweet sauces are a match made in heaven!

And finally…
Hot coffee and ice pudding โก (Am I eating too much? lol)
The owner kindly treated me to so much. Thank you so very much!

The Ice Pudding is best enjoyed about 20 minutes after taking it out โ
Slightly crunchy, slightly icy โ same delicious flavor with a totally different texture, and absolutely scrumptious!
And the coffee? Smooth with very little bitterness, pairing perfectly with the pudding!
Ahh, what pure bliss ๐คญ๐
Sorry for getting so passionate โ I just love pudding too much!
[SPOON] also has a park nearby, so kids will be over the moon enjoying delicious pudding and then heading out to play!
You could also grab a pudding shake to go and enjoy a scenic drive ๐โจ
You’ll definitely want to come back! Be sure to visit [SPOON] when you’re in Kumamoto โช
