It's pudding in a balloon. Japanese people really love custard pudding (they call it purin) and it's easy to find little pudding cups in all the convenience stores. So why is this kind in a balloon? Beats me. Quite frankly this looks like a teenage boy's dream come true. Who needs to toilet paper houses when you have balloons pre-filled with pudding?
This particular pudding comes from Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, which is famous for its dairy products. Note the cow laying an egg (or... a pudding balloon?).
Inside the container, this is what you get:
Pudding balloon, cute little spoon, some caramel sauce and a toothpick. You stab the balloon with the toothpick and then you can squeeze it into the container and add caramel sauce. Or I suppose you could just suck it straight from the balloon.
Voila!
It was yummy. Tasted the same as the custard pudding in a cup, though.
