Un.donpuri Dessert Shop
Located in Fukuchiyama City, Un.donpuri is a café known for its for puddings that look amazingly like Japanese cuisine. It has puddings in the form of 11 kinds of dishes: katsudon (fried pork cutlet on rice), ramen, seafood bowls, tororodon (grated yam rice bowl), mapo tofu (Sichuan-style bean curd with ground pork spicy taste), Japanese hot pot, beef bowl, loco moco, cold sweet red bean soup, wonton noodles, and Chinese style cold noodles (summer only), each sold for 600 yen including tax. They are not only delicious to taste, but also enjoyable to look at. The idea began when the pastry chef created a pudding that looked like katsudon as a gift for a friend, which later went viral on social media. In addition to the puddings, cakes and baked sweets like cute donuts and cookies for takeout are lined up in the showcase window (there is also an eat-in space within). The pudding containers are made of polypropylene, which is microwavable and can be taken home to use for other purposes. The café is now a famous attraction in Fukuchiyama for sweets-lovers, and while the cafe opens at 11 a.m., the 80 bowls of pudding prepared on weekdays and 120 on weekends are often sold out early.

Adachi Otoemon
Tamba chestnuts are a traditional product in Kyoto Prefecture whose history is as long as other well-known Kyoto traditional vegetables. Tamba chestnuts are from the Tamba region, which includes Kameoka, the Funai region, Ayabe, and Fukuchiyama. It’s said that in the old days of the Edo period (1603-1868), Tamba chestnuts were used as offerings, when the chestnuts were also accepted in place of the annual rice tax. Using these Tamba chestnuts, Adachi Otoemon crafts specialty dessert terrines and pound cakes here in Fukuchiyama City. Cross sections of the desserts reveal large, whole chestnuts, which are combined with the wasanbon Japanese refined sugar from the Sanuki region and flavourful cultured butter to create an exquisite product. You can really enjoy the chestnuts as they make up more than two thirds of the weight of this luxurious dessert. Additionally, the shop building was previously the residence of the Matsumura family, built during the Taisho (1912-1926) and Meji era (1868-1912) and is designated as one of Kyoto Prefecture’s Tangible Cultural Properties. Other than the chestnut terrines and chestnut pound cakes, there are also other baked goods, cream puffs, and gelato available.
