Japanese Title (邦題)： 「50年以上も前の あ た ら し い！」末尾に
New taste which was released more than 50 years ago!
Good morning to the World and Kanmon!
We had guests from neighbor country who are university students.
They came to this reception and said “small present for you” and gave this.
It was sweet which had been familiar one in my childhood!
Actually we have often seen them in the refrigerator in this guesthouse since the pandemic was over.
Though we had never seen them before pandemic but we had seen bunch of MOCHI-Rolls in it.
But now, we often seen various type of pudding in it, such as Baked and, Custard one, Milk one and so on.
Puddings seem to be the most popular Japanese deserts among young tourists from neighbor country.
And the most popular one seems to be this “Putchin Pudding”.
So I prepared a dish to “putchin*” it and taste it for the first time in a while.
（* Putchin = sound of fold the protrusion to put out pudding from plastic cup to a dish.)
I thought it would be old-fashioned and sweet, but it was actually quite delicious.
Same time, the feelings I had when I was a child came to my mind.
Thank you and you have a nice day enjoying nostalgic but new flavors.

Manager of a Little Guesthouse under a Little Lighthouse TOUKA

50年以上も前の あ た ら し い！
世界中に朝が、そして関門にもあさが来ました。 おはようございます。
お隣の国から来た大学生のゲストさん。
「これプレゼント」と言って、受付にやってきた。
それは自分も子供の頃から見慣れたあのデザート！
コロナ明けから、よくこの宿の冷蔵庫でも見かけるようになっています。
コロナ前は「もちロール」が何本も冷蔵庫に詰め込まれていたのを見かけたけれど、
それが今や「プリン」！焼きやら、カスタードやら、牛乳やら各種プリンが並らぶ姿を頻繁に見かけます。
なんか今、流行っているみたいです、日本に来てプリン食べ比べ！
なかでも人気なのが、どうもこの「プッチン」らしいです。
というわけで、久しぶりに皿を準備してプッチンしてみました。
古くさい甘さかと思いきや、これが結構美味しかったりしました。
子供だったころの気持ちも心にこみ上げてきたりして、、、
それでは、懐かしくて新しい味を楽しむ素敵な一日を！
