    While visiting Beppu Myoban Onsen, I made a special trip to Okamotoya Shop. This long-established shop is best known for its Jigoku-Mushi Pudding. The pudding is steamed using hot spring steam, giving it a smooth texture and rich egg flavor. It's sweet without being too rich, and the slightly bitter caramel is just right. The shop also has quite a few Beppu specialty snacks. Eating dessert while taking in the sulfur aroma of Myoban Onsen feels very local. This trip to Beppu left me with some very special memories. If I have the chance, I'd love to come back for the Jigoku-Mushi Pudding again!

    The signature jigoku-mushi pudding is a must-order.

    The texture is really smooth, with a rich egg flavor.

    The caramel has a slight bitterness, so it’s sweet but not heavy at all.

    Having it hot gives it a completely different, really nice vibe.
