Tabelog ratingPoussin (プーサン) is a small, takeout-only pudding shop in Osaka’s Shinmachi neighborhood that has earned a loyal following for its craft. The owner focuses on pure, high-quality ingredients, using rich ‘Yamabuki’ eggs from Kannan Farm and no additives. The shop offers a rotating lineup of about 14 different puddings daily, including many seasonal specials.
Guests consistently praise the classic Custard Purin for its smooth texture and deep, eggy flavor. Another standout is the ‘Purin-ya-san no Cheesecake Demi-Blanc’, a layered creation with a concentrated cheesecake top and a creamy custard base. The pistachio puddings, which come in two styles ('elegant' and 'wild'), are also frequently mentioned as a highlight. Creative seasonal flavors like corn, hojicha, and ruby grapefruit keep the menu exciting, and in summer, the shop serves well-balanced kakigori (shaved ice).
The main point of criticism is the modest portion size; some reviewers suggest buying two or three to feel fully satisfied. As a result of its popularity, sought-after items like the pistachio puddings can sell out early in the day.
Reviewers in 2024–2026 reported paying around ¥280–¥330 for the Custard Purin and the Demi-Blanc Cheesecake, and about ¥380 for the Pistachio Purin. Most visitors spend between ¥1,000 and ¥1,999. For handcrafted desserts of this quality, Poussin is widely considered good value, especially as a gift.
