Since ancient times, worshipers and sweets have never been cut. In Monzen towns around Japan, there are famous sweets made for worshipers. Ishiyamadera Pudding Honpo will deliver puddings in front of the mountain gate of Ishiyamaji Temple as a sweets in front of Reiwa. Each pudding is made by hand, carefully selected from Shiga prefecture’s largest natural lakes and the mountains surrounding it. We will make sweets suitable for the coming era, which is loved by everyone for a long time, like Ishiyama-dera, which has been a long-standing belief since the Nara era. It is a pudding that will be appreciated in a variety of situations, from souvenirs for sightseeing in Ishiyama-dera to small souvenirs.

The logo of Ishiyama-dera Pudding Honpo was designed based on the idea that the moon seen from Ishiyama-dera is one of the three most famous moons in Japan, and we designed rabbits and moons. The bottle used is a round bottle with the image of the full moon, and souffle pudding reminiscent of the full moon will also appear from now on. We offer you two flavors of fluffy souffle and melting pudding.
We will make everyone smile with pudding that is full of the charm of Ishiyama Temple and Shiga Prefecture.

The pudding of Ishiyamaji Pudding Honpo is a new type of pudding that is characterized by its thick, smooth and fluffy, sweet vanilla scent. There is a secret in the original manufacturing method that uses plenty of fresh cream as a raw material, and since we want to deliver safe and secure products, we make all preservatives, coloring agents, fragrances and emulsifiers without adding additives in our shop. ..

In addition, we are particular about local Shiga ingredients, we use 100% milk from Takagi Farm in Ehachiman City for milk, Shigaraki Asamiya tea leaves for strong tea and houjicha pudding, and Moriya mamelon for melon pudding. I am using each.
