3. Kobe Frantz's 'Kobe Maho no Tsubo Purin' (Magical Pudding in a Pot) This pudding was originally very difficult to buy - only 50 puddings were sold every Saturday at their small shop in Kobe. Now, the pudding is available online and at the airport. The caramel sauce is a perfect match with the creamy pudding and whipped cream.
