Hamanako Gourmet Park is located in front of the Hamamatsu Nishi Inter entrance.
Hamamatsu’s specialty products are lined up inside the store. Hamanako Gourmet Park is a drive-in facility that is often used by tour bus passengers, but in 2019 we opened Hamamatsu Pudding Priful on the premises to make it easier for locals to visit.
Supervised by sweets producer Mr. Hiroshi Tokoro, who developed Pastel Smooth Pudding. Hamamatsu pudding, made with carefully selected local ingredients, is a pudding that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the taste.
In 2024, we will open Patisserie Financier, a specialty store for French baked goods, Financier, inside Hamamatsu Pudding. Hamamatsu Shusse Financier, a gluten-free baked confectionery made with rice flour, is attracting attention.
This month’s recommendation is “Hamanako Gourmet Park” where you can find Hamamatsu’s delicious food♪
“Hamamatsu Pudding Priful” located in Hamanako Gourmet Park sells sweets that are handmade one by one at the shop using seasonal ingredients from local Hamamatsu.
The four standard types are “Ultimate Smooth Pudding,” “Flower Pudding,” “Matcha Pudding,” and “Mikkabi Mikan Pudding.”
In addition, you can enjoy limited-time puddings made with seasonal ingredients.
For example, “Strawberry Pudding” is available from December to early May, “Blueberry Pudding” is available from April to early June, and “Crown Melon Pudding” is available from July to August.
The release date of “Shine Muscat Pudding” varies depending on the year, but it is a popular product that is released for a limited time when Shine Muscat’s sweetness is at its peak.
Hamamatsu pudding, which uses all fruits grown by local farmers and emphasizes color and cuteness, has an attractive charm that resembles a jewel box filled with a bottle.
These sweets are recommended as a reward for yourself or as a gift for someone special 🍮
“When we accepted students on a school trip for lunch, we looked at the allergy list in advance and found that there were so many people allergic to wheat flour that it was difficult to accommodate them,” says Mr. Yukihito Miyachika, president of Hamamatsu Pudding Priful.
When I saw that my students were unable to enjoy the same meals as other students, I thought, “I want a sweets that even those with flour allergies can enjoy with peace of mind,” which led me to develop a rice flour financier.
“Rice flour did not rise like wheat flour, so we had a series of failures at first,” says President Mr. Miyachika. However, after making many prototypes, we were able to achieve a texture that rivaled that of wheat flour, and in 2024, we opened Patisserie Financier.
Rice flour financiers, which are now a representative souvenir of Hamanako Gourmet Park, can be purchased in quantities of one at Patisserie Financiers inside Hamamatsu Pudding.
The lineup includes three types: “Plain”, “Mikkabi Mikan”, and “Matcha”.

The traditional French baked confectionery “financier” is a French word that means “financier,” “capitalist,” or “rich man,” and it fits perfectly with the image of Hamamatsu, the city of success!
The shape of the financier resembles a gold bar, so the package is designed to resemble a gold ingot, and the individual packaging is also a golden color, making it a popular Hamamatsu souvenir that will lift your mood.
At “Hamamatsu Soft Cream Stand &” located in Hamanako Gourmet Park, you can enjoy high-quality soft serve ice cream made with carefully selected ingredients from Hamamatsu.
The soft serve ice cream is made with the famous local brand “Inasa Milk” and has a rich flavor.
In addition to the conventional “Mixed Soft”, “Premium Milk Soft”, and “Matcha Soft”, we will be adding more types and upgrading from this summer!
By combining it with seasonal fruits, the taste becomes even more appealing, creating a soft-serve ice cream that you’ll want to eat again and again.
