Indulge in Mate's Smooth Pudding with Yamanashi Plum Sauce

Discover the Delicious Mate's Smooth Pudding

Kyoudo Dairy Co., based in Chuo City, Tokyo, is launching a limited-time product called "Mate's Smooth Pudding with Yamanashi Plum Sauce" on October 6, 2025. This unique pudding utilizes juice from Yamanashi plums, offering a tantalizingly sweet and tangy sauce perfect for puddings. Collaborating with the Nippon Ale Project, this pudding celebrates the allure of local agricultural products.

Unique Plum Sauce Experience

The new pudding features approximately 10% Yamanashi plum juice in its sauce, which is both refreshing and fruity. What sets this product apart is the increased sauce volume, which is about 40% more than its predecessor, allowing you to relish the pure taste of plums in every bite.

Highlighting Yamanashi Plums

Yamanashi plums are known for their pleasant balance of sweetness and acidity, making them a beloved fruit in Japan. Notably, Yamanashi Prefecture produces around one-third of the country’s plums. These plums are not just great for eating fresh; they also work wonderfully in dried fruit or jams. However, due to several factors such as an aging farmer population and unusual weather patterns causing smaller fruit sizes, the production of these beloved plums has decreased. The Nippon Ale Project aims to counter this decline by raising awareness and stabilizing demand for Yamanashi plums through product development.

Understanding the Nippon Ale Project

Nippon Ale, a registered trademark of Zen-Noh, focuses on creating and promoting the value of domestically produced agricultural goods. The Nippon Ale Project encourages various manufacturers who share its mission to develop and market a product using common ingredients at the same time. This collaborative effort culminates in campaigns that highlight local agricultural products. The launch of the Yamanashi plum sauce pudding is the sixth installment in this initiative.
