Japanese Cheesecake

# 70 It’s so quiet on here; I was hoping my picture of some Japanese cheesecake would grab the attention of some people... Have you tried these? It’s quite different from the traditional cheesecake. It’s not as heavy – in fact, when we have it straight from the oven it tastes so light and airy like it melts in your mouth. Once it is cooled, it tastes rather differently than the oven-hot cheesecake. Still, it is lighter and less sweet than the traditional cheesecake. The taste of the cream-cheese is also very subtle.

I'm not at all confident to make one myself - I heard it's not easy to get the right texture and lightness of this cake... But I know you are a great cook and baker, so I'm all for you to try this...

I bake the cheesecake at home. In fact I need to put a little bit water on the plate and so that this kind of cheesecake will be soft and smooth. I am not sure what's the difference of this Japanese cheesecake. Is there a salmon on the top?

@sishy7 Perhaps kiwi is easier to find in your side and this is why they use it. It can be Japanese style because it is healthy

This one has kiwi on top - sounds more like it should come from NZ instead of Japan...

I've never Tried this kind of cheesecake but I'm sure I'll like it I find Asian style cakes much lighter and less sweet in general.

It looks good, is it similar to a custard?

Ooh... custard is softer or more like pudding... It still tastes like cake - close to a really, really, soft sponge cake maybe?

Ohh, ok @sishy7 well if it isn't that sweet I would probably like it. I love flan because it isn't too sweet.

@rebelann Subtlety seems to be the overwhelming theme of this cake... The sweetness and the cheese-cream flavor are barely there...

I don't know how they make it so soft and airy... It reminds me of cotton candy softness, but on a cake...

@SIMPLYD Yes, I also love traditional cheesecake. Japanese cheesecake is not as heavy as the traditional cheesecake.

The dish was made famous by a Japanese baker whose signature Japanese cheesecakes made their first debut in 1985.

@ShifaLk You'll probably be better off having some ice cream when it's that hot... This cheesecake is best eaten oven-warm; while it's still nice when served after chilled, but the taste has significantly changed when losing most of the 'melting-in-your-mouth' sensation...

I've read recipes for Japanese cheesecakes but I don't think I've actually had them! We normally don't order desserts at restaurants and there are no local J bakeries unless we go out to a place like J town or Gardena/Torrance. But there are some Korean bakeries around (they do some similar stuff to J bakeries) - I should check there. I'll bet Yamazaki bakery in J town has them. Now I'm curious !

@much2say No, we didn't make that ourselves... But the shop where we got it from did them right there all day long and we could smell the fresh-baking cakes while in there. And when the cheesecake is served warm, it tastes very different than when it has been chilled.
