Luxurious "Marron Pudding" (Ginza Sembikiya)

There is no pudding for which the adjective "glossy" suits so well. The "Sembikiya" marron pudding, with two layers of pudding and caramel jelly, is shiny and radiant, you can feel how good it is even before you eat it.

In the middle, there is a whole chestnut sweetened with its astringent surface. The rich pudding, naturally sweet chestnuts, and astringent bark make a bittersweet accent, and it is truly a sweet that will befuddle you. The chic package with a large "chestnut" on it conveys the prestige of the long-established "Sembikiya". It is a gem that you can be sure to be pleased with no matter who you give it to.
