Maruju-oya (Kurazen-ya) / 丸十大屋「蔵膳屋」
"Maruju-oya opened its doors as a shop in the safflower trade in 1844, when Yamagata's safflower dye was as highly prized in the nation's capital as the Awa indigo dye of Tokushima. First operating as a shipping agency that transported safflower by ship down the Mogami River and then by sea to Tsuruga, from where the cargo was transported by land to Kyoto and Osaka, Maruju-oya shifted its business to the brewing of soy sauce in the mid-Meiji era, and continues to produce soy sauce, miso and other products today. At our Kurazen-ya cafe and shop, we offer an ""Amai Maruju"" line of sweets inspired by Maruju-oya products, such as mitarashi soy sauce puddings and soy sauce cream puffs. "

Premium Pudding / プレミアムプリン
350 yen (plus tax)
"For these luxurious little puddings, each of which is made with a whole egg yolk, we use mitarashi (sweet soy sauce), miso, or koji in place of caramel sauce. The natural sweetness of the ingredients shines forth in these puddings, and a subtle note of saltiness adds a delicious balance. Our koji flavor features a non-alcoholic amazake (""sweet sake"") that is made with rice koji produced from Yamagata's famous Tsuyahime rice, and its gentle sweetness will be a taste you never get tired of.
(Some puddings only available on a seasonal basis, best consumed by day after purchase.)" -
