Jelly & Pudding

Japanese Jelly is typically made from fruit juice, agar-agar (a seaweed-based gelatin), or konnyaku (a root-based ingredient). It is often served in a variety of vibrant colors and flavors, such as orange, strawberry, or matcha. Some versions feature whole fruits or layers of different flavored jellies, making them visually appealing and fun to eat. Japanese Pudding is a custard-like dessert, similar to caramel flan or crème brûlée. It is typically made with eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla, and has a soft, silky texture. The pudding is often topped with a rich caramel sauce and sometimes served in small, individual cups. A popular variant, kōrē purin, is refrigerated and served chilled for a refreshing treat.
