Daibutsu Pudding uses the finest fresh cream, which even dairy shops are surprised by, resulting in a smooth and rich texture.
The cute bottle design, typical of Nara, makes it a perfect souvenir.
Environmentally friendly materials are used for the packaging, and while simple, it cherishes the “cuteness that is characteristic of Daibutsu Pudding.”
