Indulge in the delicate harmony of Japanese pudding and tea tradition with Black Honey Kagaboucha Pudding. This elegant wagashi begins with Kagaboucha, a refined variation of hojicha made from the finest first-harvest tea leaves—once served to Emperor Showa himself. Unlike traditional roasted teas, Kagaboucha is crafted from sun-grown Gyokuro leaves, producing an exceptionally smooth and aromatic flavor.
Enhancing this pudding’s depth is the addition of black honey from Hayashi Kotaro Zouzu Vinegar, a Kyoto-based maker with over 190 years of craftsmanship. The result is a luscious, silky-smooth treat where roasted tea and rich sweetness intertwine, offering a taste of Japanese culinary artistry in every spoonful.
Their venture into crafting delightful black honey offers a unique interplay of robust flavor and refined aroma.
