Acho

One of the pleasures of Acho is being able to take home more than one kind of pudding, rather than settling on a single favourite. The signature Vanilla King has made an impression on some customers for its aroma and layered sweetness; another diner praised its rich egg flavour and bittersweet caramel. One review describes a moist texture studded with vanilla beans, with a richness that gives way to a clean finish. It is an inviting choice both for those who want to start with the classic and for anyone drawn to the eggy flavour of pudding.

The puddings are not uniformly smooth: reviewers often mention a texture that holds its shape while still melting in the mouth. Pairing the classic Vanilla King with the Caramel Coffee Pudding listed on the menu offers a choice between vanilla fragrance and coffee flavour. One customer who tried the coffee pudding noted its characteristic bitterness. The flavours also appear to vary by season. Past visitors have reported a bergamot-scented tea pudding and one with the aroma of Calvados. Checking the selection on the day makes it possible to stick with a classic or try something that catches your eye.

Baked goods are available alongside the puddings, with customers also reporting purchases of tarts, madeleines and scones. One visitor remembered the lemon tart for its crisp pastry, moist filling and sweet-and-sour icing. The chocolate banana scone was described as both crumbly and moist. You could take home a pudding for a treat and add baked goods, or browse for a gift. As a takeaway-only shop, Acho lets you pick up puddings and baked treats together when you are looking for something sweet in Kagurazaka.
