The true value that made "Nama Purin Ice" a legendary hit —
The sweet and slightly bitter "caramel avalanche" that occurs the moment you lift it from the cup.
This overwhelming visual appeal, which makes any pudding lover swoon, is the greatest charm of this ice cream.
We went through countless prototypes in pursuit of this ideal "melty texture."
By meticulously adjusting the water content of the caramel, we finally achieved the "caramel avalanche" that flows out the moment you lift it.
The marriage of rich, sensual custard mousse and slightly bitter, rich, melting caramel is truly a "dream hybrid" of pudding and ice cream.
Please enjoy this "exceptional delicacy" that combines pudding and ice cream, sure to impress even connoisseurs of sweets.
The ultimate "fresh sensation" crafted by serious patissiers
"Nama Purin Ice" is a masterpiece born from patissiers pursuing the ultimate "fresh sensation" by perfecting the smoothness of ice cream. Its essence lies in its smooth and profound melt-in-your-mouth texture, overturning conventional notions of ice cream.
It boasts the delicate craftsmanship unique to a patisserie, setting it apart from ordinary puddings.
When you take a bite, you experience a dense yet smooth texture, as if you've scooped up pudding mousse directly. Then, a rich and deep custard flavor fills your mouth. What remains is a long, deep, lingering aftertaste of fragrant caramel, like a memory.
It's ice cream, yet it's mousse.
It's pudding, yet it melts away softly.
It's rich, yet light.
These three contradictory joys exquisitely blend in your mouth—it is truly a "product beyond the conventional wisdom of ice cream."
An impressively smooth texture unattainable by "simply freezing pudding"
What we aimed for—
It wasn't just pudding-flavored ice cream, but a new ice cream experience as an "authentic sweet."
In the early stages of development, we started with a method of crushing our proud original pudding and freezing it. However, the icy texture was too strong, and it didn't achieve the ideal "fresh" smoothness.
The answer we arrived at was the luxurious method of "preparing pudding as a mousse."
~ The secret to the "fresh sensation" is mousse-style pudding ~
The base is a rich and aromatic crème anglaise sauce, slowly cooked at a low temperature with egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla beans. To this, whipped cream is carefully incorporated in "three stages" to create a fine mousse. We use a generous amount of whipped cream, making it a luxurious product with a deep richness.
The key to this mousse is the delicate technique of "gently folding in air without breaking the bubbles." By carefully incorporating air by hand, without relying on mechanical stirring, we achieve an astonishingly fine melt-in-your-mouth texture. Here lies an exceptional smoothness and richness not found in other ice creams.
The preparation takes a full three days.
This is truly a masterpiece from "Okashi no Taiyo," packed with the serious dedication of a patisserie, allowing no compromise on ingredients or process.
~ Special Caramel that creates the "Avalanche" ~
The caramel is, of course, entirely handmade.
Sugar is added gradually, not all at once, layering it over the melted portion. This prevents crystallization and results in a smooth, translucent, and beautiful finish.
With the conventional method of baking it together with the pudding liquid, the caramel would harden like rock candy.
To achieve that "melting flow," we independently developed a precisely balanced water content. We created the ideal texture that "avalanches down the moment it's lifted from the cup."
Slightly bitter and infinitely smooth. This is a caramel crafted by artisans, meticulously calculated for the blissful moment it melts with the ice cream.
Enjoy "Nama Purin Ice" with a "two-way" eating style!
