Azumino Confectionery Studio Ayaka's "Cheese in Tartbaum Shinshu Apple" discovered at the product exhibition. The price is 270 yen per piece (tax included, same below).

This is a sweet made from Nagano apple "Fuji" in a baked cheesecake made from Baumkuchen tart. The topping is apple compote.


If you eat it immediately after purchase, the cheese is still moist and cold, just like ice cream! The apple flavor is very refreshing. The crispy compote is a nice accent.


Also, the plain "Cheese in Tartbaum" is really good. The rich richness that spreads slowly is the best! If you bite into a place that is still a little frozen, the cheese inside will crumble. The price is 238 yen per piece.


I bought it and ate it on the spot, so I enjoyed the chilled one and the one that was almost half-thawed, but it seems that it can be eaten deliciously even if it is warmed. It would be exquisite if baked in the oven ... Next time I want to try warm ones!



"Cheese in Tartbaum Shinshu Apple" won the Grand Prix of the 7th Japan National Snack Ranking in 2016. Be sure to get it when you see it!
