This cheesecake is a whole different experience from the usual. It’s super fluffy, not too sweet, and you can really taste the egg whites. This is the thing in Osaka, partly because the creator of the recipe refuses to expand beyond the Osaka area.

It’s not exactly a “shop,” but more of a stall with an open kitchen, so you get to watch the whole process—from mixing the batter to baking the cakes. There’s always a line out front, waiting for the next batch to come straight from the oven.

Fluffy, warm, soft - perfect!The line in the original location was quite long but here it took me 5 minutes from the start of the queue to purchase, and I was there in peak times. There are two lines - one is for warm freshly baked cakes - I recommend trying one! 4 stars as there is nowhere to eat it -...
