01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Occupying a counter on the 1st floor of EXITMELSA in Ginza, PUDDING LAB Ginza is a specialty shop dedicated to meticulous pudding craftsmanship and premium ingredients. Glass showcases display jars of their signature "Shin Pudding" in contrasting firm (katame) and smooth (nameraka) textures, alongside flavors such as vanilla, coffee, and black tea. Among the highlights are comparative tasting sets that spotlight rich green tea, pairing intense "Okoi" with the more delicate "Ousu."

Customizing Every Bite with 2 Types of Sauces

One of the shop's defining features is allowing customers to choose 2 individual sauces for every 1 pudding jar. The palette spans 12 distinct varieties: classic caramels ranging from bitter to sweet, fruit and spice notes like cinnamon, orange, and raspberry, and spirited options infused with rum or brandy. The recommended ritual is to taste the pudding plain first to appreciate its pure base, then drizzle drops of sauce to layer aromatic nuance and bitterness gradually.

Pudding Soft-Serve and Parfaits on Site

Alongside takeaway jars, the counter serves made-to-order treats, including soft-serve ice cream crafted from real pudding and parfaits topped with mini puddings. The rich, velvety soft-serve can also be paired with your choice of sauce, lending a crisp, bittersweet caramel edge to the cold cream. A shared eat-in space on the floor makes it easy to take a quick pause between shopping trips in Ginza.

Whether you are seeking your own ideal pairing of custard and caramel or picking out a refined gift, the showcase invites quiet, thoughtful contemplation.
