Basque-style cheesecake at KINOKUNIYA
I tried "Basque-style cheese cake" from KINOKUNIYA. It has a moist and thick texture, and the impression is that it is closer to rare cheesecake than baked cheesecake. The cheese has a mild flavor, but it is lingering.
The price is 320 yen (tax included) and the calories are 335 kcal. Is it KINOKUNIYA's uniqueness that it uses plenty of natural cheese? It is also available at the smaller shop "KINOKUNYA entree", which has recently increased in JR East's Ekinaka.
It's in a paper cup because it's easy to crumble, so take it out gently. The surface looks like a baked cheesecake, and the sides look like a pure white rare cheesecake.
Rare cheese style on the side
The cut surface is also baked, but the first impression I put in my mouth is a slightly rare, mellow texture.
The size isn't that big, but like other cheesecakes with the name "Basque", it's heavy and heavy, so even a quarter cut is quite satisfying. When you squeeze the cut cake, you will be happy to be aware of the unique texture that is neither rare nor baked. It has a deep sweetness, so please enjoy hot coffee without sugar.
