Rare Cheesecake & Ganache 🧀🍰🍫 at Sirotae

One of the oldest patisseries in Akasaka, Sirotae was established in 1976 and is famous for its rare cheesecake. 😎

Visiting around 5pm on a weekday I was disappointed to see a long queue of about 12 people snaking out of the shop, but this was only for takeout. So I was able to enter immediately and get a seat to eat-in. 😆

The look and feel of the cafe is definitely quite traditional and the interior looks like it is from from several decades ago. Upstairs I counted around 20 seats and after ordering, the staff appeared 2-3 minutes later with my cake & coffee. ☕️

The rare cheesecake has a look of simplicity but the taste is quite complex - the cheese cream is thick with a hint of acidity, while it has a certain smoothness too, giving it a rich texture and finish. Pairs extremely well with black coffee. 😋

Next came the ganache, a small round cake decorated with a single pistachio. The chocolate powder coating is bittersweet, and inside are layers of chocolate cream with a thin chocolate sponge, and a chocolate ganache at the top. 🍫

In the middle is a brandy-soaked cherry, so might not be suitable for those who don't like alcohol in their desserts. Personally I thought it was a classic but tasty treat. 👍🏼

While the products are small in size, they are also reasonably priced, so perfect for trying several varieties all at once! 😘

If you are in the Akasaka area, be sure to drop in and check out Sirotae. 👌🏼
