Uncle Rikuro’s Cheesecake Daimaru Shinsaibashi — Local services in Osaka

You can see why this place is populair with tourists as the cheesecake is very Instagramable and the whole cake is around 6 EUR, so not too expensive neither.

We were there around 5pm and had to wait only 15 minutes to get the oven hot one, which is less than expected. You can also choose to get already baked without a queue or less queue and I recommend that over a fresh out of the oven.

Reason for that is that I have to say that I was highly disappointed with the taste as it felt more like an egg tart, no cheesecake texture at all and only took one bite.

However, I’d suggest letting it wait one day in the fridge. The (hot) cheese cake firms up and tastes less eggy and more like a cheesecake. This process significantly improves the taste and texture.

Given that point, there is no need to queue for a fresh one as the already baked based on my experience will taste better. Then the taste will go...

WORTH THE HYPE? ABSOLUTELY NOT 💔

Why three stars you may wonder?

⭐️ freshly baked ⭐️ soft, airy and moist texture ⭐️ cheap price 💴

❌ The TASTE was neither tasty nor bad. Let me try to describe it to you. It tasted obviously like egg but not even sweet. A cake should have a light nuance of sweetness. However, there was NOTHING. Not even a pinch of sweetness OR another taste to it. Really monotone taste experience. ❌ The hype around this cake is horrendous and it really doesn’t deserve that. I mean, it’s ALRIGHT and I acknowledge the process of baking this cake because it’s difficult but that’s all.

— Worth a try. Nonetheless, the taste is not convincing. Maybe you should check out another bakery that is specializing in Japanese...

This location is small since it is within the department store, but the line moves quickly. There are two lines, one for freshly baked, hot out the oven, and one for pre-baked. I had no issues at all, and thoroughly enjoyed the cheesecake. However, for those thinking that it will taste like a regular cheesecake, it does not. It has a very strong eggy taste, and the texture is like a sponge cake, rather than a cheesecake. It is not very sweet, which is fine with me, but others may not like that i a dessert. Also, there are a few raisins at the bottom of the cheesecake, which again is fine with me, but keep it in mind if you don't like raisins or are...
