A Unique Collaboration: Seasonal Sweet Potato Pudding a la Mode Featuring Shonan Gold

A Delightful Fusion of Flavors: Seasonal Sweet Potato Pudding a la Mode with Shonan Gold

In a remarkable collaboration that celebrates the essence of premium ingredients, & OIMO TOKYO, a renowned gluten-free sweet potato dessert shop based in Nakameguro, is teaming up with Shonan Fruit Craft, a jam specialty store. From April 13, 2026, customers can indulge in the Seasonal Sweet Potato Pudding a la Mode featuring Shonan Gold available exclusively at & OIMO TOKYO for a limited time at a price of ¥1,980 (tax included).

The Seasonal Sweet Potato Pudding a la Mode series now includes an enticing blend of rich and creamy sweet potato pudding paired with the refreshing and zesty Shonan Gold, a unique citrus fruit developed in Kanagawa Prefecture. This distinctive fruit, known for its lemon-like aroma and refined tartness, is a hybrid between the Imamura Wanshu and Golden Orange, making it a treasured component of this limited menu item. The season's best Shonan Gold offers a perfect complement to the deep sweetness of sweet potatoes, creating a harmonious fusion of flavors.

& OIMO TOKYO prides itself on using sweet potatoes from Tanegashima, specifically the prized Annou variety, which is known for its natural sweetness developed through a meticulous process of aging and charcoal grilling. The sweet potatoes are aged for over three months and slow-cooked for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes in a specialty oven, resulting in a moist and rich dessert that perfectly balances the acidity of the citrus.

The pudding itself is a luxurious blend of smooth Annou sweet potato puree, presenting an incredibly rich and velvety texture. The aromatic notes from the golden fruit burst forth, enhancing the overall sensory experience with its vibrant and juicy acidity enveloped in sweetness. When the sumptuous flavor of sweet potato intertwines with the sweet and slightly bitter notes of caramel, it offers an exquisite dining moment. Served alongside chilled vanilla ice cream, diners are invited to savor this pairing until the very last bite.

This collaboration showcases a shared commitment to high-quality ingredients and careful consideration of flavors. The unique product encapsulates the essence of Shonan’s bounty blended with the creativity characteristic of Nakameguro, promising a one-of-a-kind taste experience.

The Seasonal Sweet Potato Pudding a la Mode featuring Shonan Gold is available from April 13, 2026, at & OIMO TOKYO in Nakameguro.
