First Kitchen Pudding Float‏


First Kitchen is offering a new flavor in its desserts lineup. They are calling it Pudding Float, which does not sound that great in English. Pudding in Japan is more like what you would call a custard in the US, and these are drinks. So what you have are custard flavored drinks topped with soft ice cream. This flavor is also being used with the tapioca drink line.
