New Chitose Airport, the gateway to Hokkaido. Since the "Sapporo Snow Festival" is being held, a large number of tourists are visiting. Is it the "Kinotoya" procession that catches the eye in the vast souvenir shop? Many people are lined up in search of the signature product "freshly baked cheese tart".

However, this time through the procession. I found an excellent cheesecake that you can buy without lining up , so I will introduce it! Tinkerbell's "Cheese Bake" (16 cm / 1,620 yen including tax).


■ Okhotsk cake shop makes

Tinkerbell is a cake shop in Kitami City, Eastern Hokkaido. Affordable cakes and baked goods made from local ingredients are popular.


The signboard menu here is "Cheese Bake". A blend of 4 types of cheese from Hokkaido and Australia and handmade custard cream. It is a dish that is wrapped in Hokkaido wheat pie dough and baked.

■ Only one store can be bought at the airport

Normally, it seems to be purchased at the store or ordered, but when I went around the souvenir shop at the airport, I found that it was placed at "Sky Shop Ogasawara". According to over-the-counter pop, this is the only place that sells at New Chitose Airport.

■ Once you eat it, you will never forget it!


The box with a natural texture is accompanied by a sticker with the shop logo and a nice card. When you untie the golden cord, you will see a cake with beautiful brown eyes. Plump, glossy, looks delicious! Expectations are also high for its heavy weight.

When you put the knife in and lift it up ... Underneath the crepe-like surface dough is a shining white cheese cream. These are supported by the bottom pie. A baked cheesecake made from puff pastry.

As soon as you eat it, the mellow aroma and richness of cheese that fills your mouth. Maybe it's because of the custard cream, it also has a mellowness. However, it is not too sweet and has a refreshing aftertaste, so you can eat as much as you want.

The puff pastry is exquisite again! The outside is crispy, and the inside that blends well with the cream is moist. And it disappears with the cheese cream.

It was the best combination of texture, mouthfeel, and taste, as if everything had been done as much as possible. This is delicious! Even though I just ate it, it seems like it will pop up on the mail order.


It may be a digression, but it is also a good impression that it is easy to separate. The inside is soft and smooth, but it is firmly solidified, so it does not easily lose its shape, and even if it is cut into small pieces, it stands on its own. There isn't much cream that comes with the knife, and the dough on the surface doesn't come off. The pie crumbles a little, though.

■ Reward cake you want to buy

Actually, when I passed in front of the shop for the first time, the delicious food sensor responded with a surprise and passed by. But after all I was interested, so it was a dish I bought back. I want to praise myself at that time, saying "I often returned"!

You don't have time to line up with Kinotoya, or you can't buy it because it's sold out ... Please pick up this "cheese bake"! You shouldn't lose it by eating it. I want to go to Kitami someday and eat other cakes.
