I visited "hitoma (ヒトマ) Coffee and Sake," a popular place for pudding located an 8-minute walk from Asakusa Station (TX). I decided to go after seeing a striking post by Rinrinさん (@rinrin99999). The place is open for lunch on some days, but mainly operates at night, so be sure to check the business hours on their Instagram (@hitoma_coffee_to_osake) before visiting. I tried: ⭐️ Chocolate and Pudding - 1,200 yen (1,300 yen without reservation) The pudding is topped with banana, whipped cream, cocoa powder, and a large chocolate slab placed on top, which is then melted to a creamy texture using a burner right in front of you. It's a must to capture a video of this process. Originally planned until Valentine's Day on 2/14, but due to the positive response, they will continue offering it until the end of February. Note that the Chocolate Pudding is limited to 5 on weekdays and 10 on holidays, so it's recommended to reserve via DM on Instagram. ⭐️ Coffee Whiskey - 800 yen Since it's a sake bar, I decided to try some alcohol. I asked the master for a recommended pairing with the pudding, and they suggested whiskey with soda. The master was also kind and provided good service. If you're interested, give it a try.

I went to the restaurant on a regular Wednesday without having to wait in line. I always wanted to go because it's close to my house, but there was always a line. Today, I thought I could finally go without waiting. I had a decent amount to drink before coming, so I ordered a butterfly pea soda and a homemade pudding with whipped cream on top (they were out of half portions). The atmosphere at the counter seemed a bit reserved as I didn't know anyone, but it's totally fine to go alone. I'm planning to come back again.

The first page of Tabelog shows a menu with a whole peach on top of a pudding, which is a popular item at a famous cafe. The place was packed and I had to wait for about 20 minutes to get in. Is there any zero-calorie option available? What does zero-calorie mean? When I placed my order, I casually mentioned to the staff that I didn't expect to easily get a popular menu item. People who don't use Instagram might feel lost, so send a DM for reservations. It's difficult to make a reservation now because it's so popular. The limited number of servings that can be made by one person is also a factor. The peach season will end soon, so now is the time to try it. The official name is "Special Pudding with Seasonal Fruit," with peaches in the summer, but is it different in the winter? I managed to get a regular pudding without peaches, and it was worth coming. The caramel flavor was just right for my generation. It's not like the howling of a loser, but I am satisfied with this. You can't see the towering homemade whipped cream with peaches, and the sweetness is mild. The normal size is quite large, and there is also a half size available. Let's gather for a pudding lovers' club. The normal size is easily finished. The first time I tried it, it was a great match with red wine. The combination of coffee and alcohol was also successful. The atmosphere of the restaurant, which is indicated by the name, is much appreciated. During the time I was there, there were customers enjoying both tea and alcohol. Maybe if the nearby APA hotel is closed, people come here until late at night.

I miraculously managed to make a reservation for the peach pudding, so I went to Hitoma Coffee and Sake-san. I ordered an Americano (500 yen) and the peach pudding (1900 yen). When I arrived at the restaurant on a weekday after 1 pm, it was almost full, but there was one empty table and I was able to sit right away. The interior of the restaurant is small, with tables for two, window-side seats, and a counter facing the kitchen. Slow jazz was playing in the background, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The owner was chatting happily with a regular customer sitting at the counter. The peach pudding, which I had been checking the store's Instagram story for many times and it was always "sold out," was finally available this day thanks to a miraculous reservation. Inside the peach, there was cream. The pudding base was firm and quite generous in size. However, it was not too sweet, and I finished it all in one go. Although it was difficult to visit this restaurant even though it's nearby, I would like to stop by again. I had a delicious meal that day too. Thank you for the meal.

Not just the appearance, the taste is also amazing! Sweet and soft peach, and a pudding that is not too hard, too sweet, or too bitter. The shop and the people were lovely. I can see why there are many regular customers. It's recommended to make a reservation in advance. If there are available seats, you may be able to get in, but it seems to be mostly fully booked. For those who want the pudding, making a reservation in advance is a must. Check the official Instagram story ✔︎ (as they sell out quickly, turning on notifications would be helpful).

I found this restaurant on Instagram. Normally, I feel embarrassed to eat sweets alone as a middle-aged man, but when I saw the peach and pudding here, I couldn't resist and thought, "It's okay to be embarrassed, I want to eat it!" However, this shop is very popular, and the peaches are sold out as soon as they are announced on Instagram the next day and reservations start. After several attempts, I finally managed to visit the shop. It was 2:30 pm when the sun was strong. It's a 5-minute walk from Inaricho Station on the Ginza Line. The shop is very cute, and I felt embarrassed right from the start. Nevertheless, I gathered my courage and entered. The small shop has about 10 seats at the counter and tables, with carefully selected furnishings everywhere. I mentioned that I had a reservation and was seated at the counter. I had a drip iced coffee, which is made by grinding the beans and then chilling the hot coffee dripped through a paper filter. It took about 15 minutes from ordering to serving. The peaches are white peaches from Fukushima Prefecture, with quite a firm texture. I cut it in half with a knife, and there was plenty of whipped cream in the part with the seed. I immediately took a bite of one half. Oh, it's so delicious! I couldn't help but look at the shop owner to convey this deliciousness, excitement, and joy. Soon, our eyes met, and I said, "It's delicious!" and we chatted a bit. I could feel the shop owner's kindness from the time of reservation, but chatting with them made me feel it even more. The peaches and pudding have a gentle sweetness that reflects the maker's personality. Whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening, these sweets are delicious anytime. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I went to eat the trendy peach and pudding. I made a reservation on Instagram the day before and it was sold out immediately. The ripe peach and firm pudding matched well and I was very satisfied. However, the price was 1800 yen, which is quite expensive for sweets, so it may be difficult to visit regularly haha.

The shop is small and suddenly appears in an alley. I visited around 9 pm on a weekday, and it was crowded with people using the cafe, so I chatted on a bench outside for a while before entering. Since the shop is run by one person, it's nice to have plenty of time at night. The appetizers were delicious. I ordered fried eggplant, fried corn, and other dishes, and there were various drinks available, but the coffee whiskey was delicious! The pudding was firm. I would like to visit again on a whim.

I visited around 7:30 pm on Saturday and Sunday and was able to enter smoothly. I had a drip coffee (Colombian) for 1100 yen, which was lightly roasted and had a unique acidity and aroma, making it a delicious cup. The cafe latte for 600 yen had a refreshing taste of milk with a hint of coffee flavor. The homemade pudding with whipped cream for 600 yen was a bit firm and had a rich egg taste, making it a superb dish. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Second in line, the cafe serves coffee meticulously with only one staff, so it is recommended to place your order as soon as you enter. I don't like cream, but I ordered it with cream on top to make it less lonely. The homemade pudding with cream on top is huge! Puddings at trendy cafes are usually small, but here it's a satisfying size. The ratio of cream to pudding is equal, making it hard to tell which is the star. The pudding is firm, not too sweet, with a hint of bitterness from the caramel, and the cream is light and fluffy, reminiscent of a farm. The drink, a rare cafe au lait, is delicious. I wanted to go for a second cup. The interior of the cafe is very stylish, with dried flowers and Aesop soap. I like it. Be careful, though, as you may have to wait quite a bit if you arrive at the wrong time. It's best to go before opening or on a weekday. They also serve dinner with a variety of dishes.

Today I visited Inari-cho. I have always been curious about this place as I often pass by, but it's always full and I couldn't get in... Finally, the chance to visit has arrived! I started with a gin, which I love. I tried the cacao gin from Toranomon Distillery, straight. The aroma that fills the glass and the aftertaste were like nothing I've had before. The next day, I found myself thinking about the aroma and feeling comforted. I often drink alone, but this is a place where even a woman alone can enjoy a relaxing time. I look forward to trying the food next time. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Reservations are made through Instagram DM. The seasonal limited edition pudding is posted on the story the day before, indicating how many are available, so I reserved from there. Sometimes the pudding runs out for reserved orders, so it's better to reserve in advance. The shop stays open until late at night, so sometimes the opening hours may be delayed during the day. I made reservations for the pudding twice and visited, but the meals also look delicious, so I want to try ordering them next time. Since the shop is managed by one person, the number of seats is limited. The atmosphere inside is not too bright, and the music is nice, so you can relax. The pudding is not too sweet and easy to eat.

■Homemade pudding with whipped cream on top■Located between Ueno and Asakusa, in Inaricho, this café & bar is run by the owner alone, so be prepared for slower service when it comes to ordering and paying. The pudding is a slightly larger, firm pudding topped with plenty of whipped cream. The rich pudding is satisfyingly delicious and has a good amount of volume.

Located between Inaricho and Taharamachi on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, about 6-7 minutes from either station. The restaurant has 2 tables, 3-4 counter seats, and side-by-side seating. They offer a Pumpkin and Pudding dessert (1800 yen) and Americano coffee (500 yen) with a one-drink minimum. The Pumpkin and Pudding dessert will be available from September 16th until Halloween. The pudding is topped with a pumpkin that is slightly larger than a fist, but it won't collapse. Inside the pumpkin, there is a mixture of cream cheese, whipped paste, and honey paste, creating a taste similar to cheesecake. The pumpkin has a gentle sweetness like a pumpkin salad, and the skin is soft from being cooked thoroughly. The pudding is homemade, with a rich texture and a hint of egg flavor. The caramel on top is slightly bitter, perfect for flavor variation. They also offer salt for flavor enhancement, and you can take any leftovers home in a pack. The pumpkin alone is quite filling, making it a sufficient lunch or dinner substitute. Sharing is also possible. On weekdays, there was one group of customers by 6 pm, and by 7 pm, there were three more groups. Mostly, it was women dining alone.

Opened in 2021, this cafe allows you to enjoy coffee until 2 am. A popular menu item is a pudding topped with a whole peach. From September to October, they offer a limited edition pudding topped with pumpkin, which I came to try on this day. Regarding reservations: - Check their Instagram to see if they require reservations or offer pre-orders. - On the day I visited, reservations were required. I sent my visit time, number of people, and number of puddings via Instagram Stories the day before. Due to the high demand for pumpkin during the autumn season, they can sell out quickly. Menu item: - Pumpkin and Pudding (¥1,800): A pumpkin is placed on top of the classic pudding. The size and price of the pumpkin may vary depending on the supply. Inside the pumpkin, there is a mixture of pumpkin, cream cheese, whipped cream, and honey. The paste has a pumpkin salad-like flavor, so it's not overly sweet and you won't get tired of it easily. The durability of the pudding is impressive as it doesn't collapse even with a large pumpkin on top.

I came to hitoma, a cafe I couldn't visit last week because it was already past 3 pm. Although they open at 1 pm, the shutters were still down when I arrived, but there was already a line forming, so I decided to wait. After a while, someone who seemed to be the owner came and opened the shutters, but he informed us that today's pudding was sold out due to reservations. A couple of people who seemed to be here for the pudding left upon hearing this. Looking at the menu inside, the food menu seemed quite appealing, but when I asked the owner, he mentioned that the food menu takes a long time to prepare. So, I decided to order the homemade gateau chocolat with whipped cream (600 yen) and a drip coffee from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, both priced at 800 yen. I chose the Indonesian coffee as it was said to have a lighter bitterness. The previous customers had ordered pudding with a whole peach on top, which seemed perfect for Instagram. Many cafes in this area are located on the first floor of old buildings and have a somewhat chaotic atmosphere, and this cafe was no exception. After a 15-minute wait, the gateau chocolat and coffee finally arrived. Although the 800 yen Indonesian coffee seemed expensive, it was surprisingly delicious with a good balance of acidity. The gateau chocolat was slightly powdery, and I usually don't eat whipped cream, but it was actually tasty when eaten together. The whipped cream was light and delicious. It seems that the pudding trend is still going strong, but neither my wife nor daughter likes pudding, so it doesn't really affect us.

A shop that is popular for its pudding with a whole peach on top. I noticed it on my way home from Asakusa and decided to visit. It seems that you need to make a reservation for the peach pudding, but I just wanted to try the pudding without a reservation. I don't have an Instagram account and I can't make a reservation without it, so I decided to wait until the opening time. I arrived a little early and waited on the bench outside the shop. I confirmed that they were open from the sign on the window. I was excited. When the shop opened, I was let in, but it seemed like they thought I had a reservation. However, there were empty seats and I was able to order the pudding and coffee. I chose the coffee from a few options, but I can't remember what I chose. (I tend to forget things if some time passes before posting, and I tend to put things off, I'm a mess). The atmosphere inside the shop was relaxing, and it was a nice place to read a book. I felt a bit restless because I had taken up a large window seat without a reservation, but I'll get used to it as I'm usually in a rush, so it takes me a while to adjust, I'm a timid person, it's a shame (embarrassing). Now, the pudding arrived. And the coffee too! The way the cream was placed was cute. It made me smile. I started with the cream. ...I like the cream. The pudding and caramel were not too different from the traditional ones, but they were very delicious. It was perfect for the relaxed atmosphere, and I wanted to savor it slowly. The book I was reading was a heavy non-fiction, so I couldn't read it quickly, and I was grateful to be able to take my time. It's only a few stops from my home, and I can walk there, and there's a Book Off nearby, so I'd like to visit again when I go to the Book Off near my home. So, I'd like to come back again! Thank you for the meal~♪

The peach and pudding for 1,800 yen (reservation only) and the butterfly pea for 600 yen were very good! The peach and pudding were too cute and I fell in love with their appearance. It was a long-awaited visit, but I was shocked by their size. They are seasonal limited items (this season might be over?) and can only be reserved through the official Instagram. The next creation is also worth checking out! They sold out within minutes of reservations opening, and it was my third or fourth attempt to finally get one. The shop is run by one person who carefully prepares the orders. The turnover of customers is fast, so it is recommended to visit with some extra time. This peach and pudding is a hot topic on social media. I managed to win the battle for reservations and visit the shop. The shop, called hitoma, has a lovely interior with 3 tables and a cute counter. The popular peach and pudding were surprisingly huge and had a luxurious feel to them. The owner carefully checks the ripeness of the peaches and provides them with great care. It was a very satisfying treat at the end of summer. The cozy atmosphere and the perfect size of the shop made for a pleasant time. Let me just say, I love peaches!

Snack ■ Peach and Pudding ¥2,200 (tax included) ■ Americano ¥500 (tax included) Do you know the pudding that has been buzzing on social media? Located in Taito-ku, Inaricho, the cafe bar "hitoma Coffee and Alcohol". Ahead of the recent popularity of pudding, our store made a bold move by putting a whole peach on top of the pudding. This move paid off as it buzzed, and to eat the pudding, reservations are now required through the owner's Instagram. I was able to secure a reservation slot through the owner's Instagram and visit the store. The store is run by the owner alone, so the pace is relaxed. Visit when you have plenty of time. After ordering coffee, the main star, the pudding, finally appeared. It was bigger than I imagined and had a powerful presence. The pudding and the peach are both huge! It was quite a dilemma on how to eat them. First, I shifted the pudding and then tried it. The pudding was made quite firm, with a classic taste. It was quite sturdy and had a strong presence, but the sweetness was moderate, making it easy to eat until the end. On top of that, there was a whole peach. When I cut the peach in half, there was whipped cream inside. The juicy peach was deliciously sweet. Since the peach was large, I was able to thoroughly enjoy it. Although the price is on the higher side for a pudding, if you want to try the trending pudding, do it sooner rather than later!

■Opened in 2021, this late-night café allows you to enjoy coffee until 2 a.m. This summer, a pudding topped with a whole peach has been causing a buzz on social media, and I was able to try it while traveling in Tokyo. They have some available on the day as well, but reservations are preferred, so it may take some time before it's served. Reservation instructions can be found on the shop's feed posts and stories. In my case, I messaged them around 25:00 the day before the reservation started, after seeing the reservation announcement on their story! (I was nervous until I got a reply confirming the reservation) ■Peach and Pudding (Price varies) The one I had cost 1,700 yen (including tax) ■Americano 500 yen (including tax) The peach, which seems like it might roll off at any moment, had a lovely fragrance from the moment it was brought over. Clearly ripe, incredibly sweet, and soft! The pudding was firm enough not to be crushed by the weight of the peach, with a sticky texture. It may be hard to tell due to the size of the peach, but the pudding was actually quite large, providing a satisfying bite. The owner was friendly, engaging in conversation, and the cozy atmosphere made me want to visit again when I'm in Tokyo. ■Please check out my blog "Yossy's Three-Flavor Walk of Kansai Gourmet" as well! https://gourmetyossy-blog.com/2022/08/15/22438/
