semi

Dipping a spoon into semi's signature melting amazake pudding releases the gentle aroma of sweet fermented rice, matched by the rich smoothness of classic custard beneath. The dessert is assembled in distinct layers: an airy amazake mousse on top, velvety custard pudding in the middle, and a bittersweet caramel sauce studded with the textural grains of rice koji at the bottom. Made without alcohol, its sweetness remains restrained, and the compact jars make it easy to pick up for dessert at home or as a gift.

Beyond the pudding, the counter features pastries such as the Anno Imo Formaggio, highlighting the mellow natural sweetness of puréed Anno sweet potatoes alongside cheesecake and a rotating selection of roll cakes. Drawing a subtle link to nearby Suitengu Shrine, known for blessings of safe childbirth, the "Anzan" roll cake wraps generous mascarpone cream and smooth sweet potato paste inside moist sponge cake for an appealing balance of flavor.

Located on the 1st floor along a main thoroughfare near Ningyocho and Suitengumae stations, the shop makes a convenient stop for takeout while walking the neighborhood. Payment can be settled by credit card as well as cashless options like PayPay.
