Did you know that Miyagi Prefecture is one of Japan's leading pudding prefectures?
According to a 2014 survey, Miyagi Prefecture is ranked second in the nation in terms of pudding consumption, making it the second most popular prefecture in Japan!
As a prefecture that loves pudding, it's no wonder that puddings made in Miyagi Prefecture are delicious. I would like to recommend "Zao Egg Pudding"! It is a rich-tasting pudding made with eggs and milk produced in Zao. Today, we will introduce Mori no Mebuki Tamagosha, the company that produces and sells Zao Egg Pudding!
"Egg sweets" made with ingredients harvested in Zao
Mori no Mebu Tamagoya, as its name suggests, is a shop that prides itself on its sweets made with eggs. Eggs are an essential ingredient for making sweets. Starting with the pudding mentioned at the beginning, the sweets sold at Tamagoya include cakes, castella, cookies, and soufflés, and are all appealing sweets that are rooted in the natural flavor of eggs. The secret to their deliciousness lies in the ingredients harvested in Zao!
The "Sprouted Eggs" grown with the bounty of Zao, Miyagi, are eggs that you can enjoy a rich, fragrant taste. The milk used is also rich and refreshing milk from Zao, so you could say that this is a dessert that truly condenses all the delicious things about Zao! Let's introduce some of the sweets you should definitely try at Tamagoya!
Zao egg pudding
"Zao Egg Pudding," which has been mentioned many times so far, is Tamagoya's signature product. In addition to the blessings of Zao, such as fresh eggs and rich milk, the rich and smooth flavor is created by a careful manufacturing process that takes time to distribute heat evenly throughout the pudding.
It has many fans outside of the prefecture and is highly praised for being "cute and delicious." I am one of those fans, and I always wish I could eat it every day!
There is also a cheese flavor that combines Zao cheese, so be sure to try both!
Mysterious Egg Melting Cookies
It looks like a sliced boiled egg, but it's actually a cookie
"Mysterious Egg Melting Cookies" are surprisingly filling cookies. Not only are they amazing in appearance, but their texture and taste are beyond imagination! As the name suggests, these cookies melt. It's not often you get to experience a cookie that melts, but what's even more surprising is the taste! Despite their egg-like appearance, they're banana flavored!
When I saw the appearance, I thought, "Huh!?" When I saw the texture, I thought, "Huh!?" When I saw the taste, I thought, "Huh!?" When I saw how delicious it was, I thought, "Ah!"
Take home the "Mysterious Egg Melting Cookies" as a souvenir and be amazed four times!
The eggs are fluffy
Equally popular with Zao's egg pudding, Tamago ga Fuwari is one of Tamagoya's flagship sweets. Aiming to be as soft as a baby's cheek, the soufflé dough is not just soft. It is fluffy yet moist, resulting in a fine-grained, elegant dough. The secret lies in the artisan's gentle hand-pressing method. By hand-pressing each one with care, a moist soufflé is created that cannot be replicated by machine. The custard cream and cheese cream inside are also made with fresh ingredients produced in Zao. With an exquisite balance of sweetness, this dessert is hugely popular with people of all ages, from young children to the elderly.
Golden Egg Castella
Castella is a sweet whose flavor is strongly influenced by the quality of the eggs. Tamagoya has repeatedly gone through trial and error to master the simple yet profound art of castella. This is how the "Golden Egg Castella" was born. Made using a faithful method, it is a product we are proud of, fully demonstrating the potential of sprouting eggs!
This golden castella cake, with its elegant egg aroma and rich flavor, is the dream egg confectionery that Tamagoya has been striving for since its founding
More than just egg sweets!
Tamagoya has many other attractive products in addition to egg sweets. They also have accompaniments such as sauces and furikake seasonings for egg on rice, smoked eggs, and in stores with restaurant space, you can also enjoy dishes that use plenty of eggs. If you want to enjoy Miyagi Prefecture eggs to the fullest, look no further than Mori no Mebu Tamagoya!
