There is already a lot of hype surrounding this Japanese cheesecake craze, so I'll keep it brief.
I've had Uncle Tetsus cheesecake a few times both warm immediately after buying it and chilled after a few hours. Anytime I've eaten it... it's been delicious. Do I think it's worth more than a thirty minute wait? Not really, no.
The sweet cheese flavour of the dessert (or of the breakfast dish, don't judge me) is subtle but so satisfying and it's not even the best part...
The real thrill for me when biting into these treats is the incredibly light and fluffy texture. I can only describe it in two ways:
1. Nibbling on a memory of delicious past cheesecakes.
2. Floating in the sky to bite into a cheesecake cloud.
Seemingly lighter than the very air we breathe the texture of these cakes is a real danger because it makes you feel like it's totally okay to eat a whole one in a single sitting by yourself (or maybe that's just me).
Definitely a scrumptious snack, but not such a delight that a huge line wouldn't turn me away.
