“ There’s a pudding vending machine! Honestly, it’s some of the best pudding I’ve ever had. So creamy and soft and delicious. We got the apple caramel, soft, and chocolate flavours. The chocolate is so deliciously chocolate, and with the classic pudding, the caramel balances it perfectly. Not too sweet. ”

“ We loved this place so much we went three times! We tried most of the flavors. Absolutely delicious and such a cute place. Only in Japan can you have an honor system that lets you enjoy a pudding stop anytime of day! ”

“ Delicious pudding! They use cage free eggs and it gives a very smooth mouthfeel. The onsen egg original flavour is the best for the creamy pure egg taste. The matcha is also very delicious. Their apple one is very light, featuring the local apples. We also tried the retro pudding which has a firmer texture with caramel sauce at the bottom. All very delicious! You can pick them individually from the vending machine for various prices between 400-450JPY, or get a bundle of three from the display case for 1100JPY (paid by the honour system). ”

“ Every time I go to Japan I find at least one special taste I have never experienced before. This time it’s the Pudding from this shop. Absolutely amazing taste! Must buy, when here. I am not sure if there’s staff at some time of the year - currently is just a vending machine ”

“ Really cute monkey themed 24hr pudding self service shop. Important tip is to bring cash as the self service payment requires exact payment unless you are generous with the tip. A variety of flavours, favourite being the coffee pudding. 3 for 1000 yen, or buy individually at 400+ yen. There is a little table for 2 inside, but space feels tight and limited. Best for takeaway. ”

“ Very good pudding. The flavor was on point and the pudding mixed with the fruits complimented each other. I would love to come back here again. The cupcake was also very good, I loved the flavor and if was soft. One of the best cupcakes I've had. ”

“ Very delicious dessert spot in Yudanaka onsen village. They are open 24h : if you come late at night, there is a vending machine. The pudding was super silky and smooth and the flavours were great ! ”

“ Self serve pudding store. I love love love the puddings here. It was a shame I missed out on the onsen egg pudding but the original and the apple one were absolutely beautiful, soft, creamy, not overly sweet and it just melts in your mouth, each spoonful was such a delight. Make sure to clean up after yourself and sort the trash correctly. There are English instructions around so you just need to read them carefully. Keep the place tidy for the next customers!! ”
