SANWA Chicken “Sanwa no Junkei Nagoya Cochin Tamago Pudding”

Torisanwa is a chicken specialty shop that handles everything from poultry farming to processing and sales. This pudding, made with 100% Nagoya Cochin eggs, is just as popular as its chicken dishes like yakitori and fried chicken. In 2022, it won the Grand Prix, the highest award, at the Japan Food Selection, where food professionals certify high-quality foods.

Made generously with precious Nagoya Cochin eggs, which are laid less frequently than those of regular chickens, this pudding has a rich, full-bodied flavor from the egg yolks and fresh cream. Its slightly firm, chewy texture, reminiscent of retro Japanese coffee shop pudding, is also excellent. Another reason for its popularity is the peace of mind that comes from using no preservatives or additives at all.

A large pudding comes in a striking gold box that gives it a luxurious feel, and you can slice it like castella cake into whatever size you like. It is sold frozen, and after thawing it in the refrigerator for Approx. 6 hours, it becomes pleasantly chewy. It is also recommended to take it out while still partially frozen and enjoy it like a sherbet.
