The Pumpkin Kuzumochi Pudding develops its flavor from a lightly sweetened pumpkin pudding base rather than an intensely sugary profile. Pumpkin paste is blended into the fermented wheat-starch mixture, then topped with strained bean paste and brown sugar jelly. The result brings together pumpkin’s gentle sweetness, the richness of red bean, and the deeper caramel-like notes of brown sugar.
The Pumpkin Shiratama Shiruko offers a different texture-focused experience. Its pumpkin and house-made red bean layers are paired with six chewy shiratama dumplings, allowing the flavor and mouthfeel to change with each spoonful. It can be served cold, or transferred to another container and warmed slightly when the autumn air turns cooler.
At Funabashiya Koyomi Gransta Tokyo, the premium version adds Funabashiya’s Kuzumochi lactic acid bacteria, a plant-based lactic acid bacterium discovered during the fermentation process used for the company’s kuzumochi. This version costs ¥670 (tax included) and is only offered at that store, while the standard ¥640 shiruko is not available there.
Funabashiya Koyomi is a sister brand created to mark Funabashiya’s 200th anniversary. The brand focuses on familiar, carefully made Japanese sweets while incorporating seasonal ingredients and Western-inspired formats, making these pumpkin desserts suitable for a Tokyo snack break or takeaway treat.
