A spoon meets a firm, springy texture in ou’s classic pudding, while the pleasantly bitter caramel keeps its sweetness in check. Diners have praised its substantial texture and bittersweet caramel. Pair it with a hand-dripped specialty coffee: the Brazil is described as having nutty, chocolate-like notes, while the Costa Rica offers the aroma and richness of ripe fruit. Choose the beans to suit your taste.

For breakfast, the morning plate is available from 9 to 11:30. Choose the main bread: buttered toast, a plain scone, sweet bean paste and butter toast, or cheese and honey toast. A large sausage comes with the plate. One diner who chose the cheese and honey toast enjoyed its sweet-and-savoury combination with the sausage. Others have mentioned the buttery flavour of the toast, and the choice of bread makes it easy to match breakfast to your mood.

For a more substantial meal, there is also a croque monsieur with thick-cut bacon, 3 kinds of cheese and house-made béchamel sauce. On weekdays from 12 to 15, you can opt for a croque madame topped with a fried egg. In Hamadayama, ou is a café where you can drop in for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee and dessert break, depending on what you feel like eating.
