The Sweet Taste of Spring: Takao Mountain Pudding's New Strawberry Flavor

This April, the beloved Takao Mountain Pudding, a favorite souvenir for visitors of Mount Takao, is launching an exciting new flavor: Strawberry. Scheduled to be available from April 16, 2026, this limited-edition pudding promises not only a delectable taste but also a delightful experience for all generations.

Celebrating Local Bounty

The Takao Mountain Pudding was created to encapsulate the flavors and essence of the local area, allowing tourists and climbers to indulge in a treat that reflects the natural beauty of Mount Takao. Over the years, it has featured a variety of meticulously crafted flavors, including Plain, Sake Lees, and Mulberry Leaf. However, the upcoming strawberry flavor is set to steal the spotlight this spring, symbolizing vitality and freshness.

A Luxurious Strawberry Experience

One of the standout features of this new pudding is its rich two-layer composition. The pudding is made using fresh eggs sourced from Hachioji, a region known for its fertile land and nutritious produce. This results in a pudding that boasts a decadent creaminess and a velvety mouthfeel. Topped generously with homemade strawberry sauce that retains the juicy fruit pieces, the pudding marries the sweet and tangy notes of strawberries with the rich sweetness of the custard beneath.

A Playful Design

Adding to its charm, the pudding is presented in an adorable sleeve inspired by the flying squirrel, which inhabits the Mount Takao area. The packaging features a cheerful yellow color adorned with illustrations of strawberries, embodying the essence of spring and making it an ideal gift or treat for any occasion.
