🍮 Sweet Stop in Kamakura: Marlowe Pudding is a Must-Try! 🇯🇵✨

If you’re planning a day trip to Kamakura, don’t just come for the temples and the beach — come hungry. There’s one dessert spot that stands out and has become a cult favorite among locals and tourists alike: Marlowe (マーロウ).

Located just minutes from the coast and the charming Kamakura streets, Marlowe is known for its ultra-rich, baked custard puddings served in stylish glass beakers (yes, actual lab-style beakers you can take home). It’s a uniquely Japanese twist on classic pudding — dense, creamy, and perfectly caramelized.
