| - I've walked past this place many times, usually with a big smirk on my face. This is because I am hysterically laughing on the inside, and feeling half sorry for all the poor suckers lining up in all sorts of weather for this unicorn of a dessert.
Fast forward a few weeks, and I am now stuck in this line. Luckily for me and my fiancee, the line was extremely short this day, and we waited for about 10 minutes - not bad. Within minutes, this line grew 3 fold... and again, the laughing started ha ha! There's a limit of one (1) cake per person, so we grabbed two in total.
Once we got home, we each grabbed a fork and dug in. Japanese cheesecake is extremely light with delicate flavours, which was a very nice change up to the traditional cheesecake we are familiar with. It's not too sweet, and incredibly moist.
In comparison to "Pablo", another famous Japanese Cheesecake in Tokyo, I would say that this place does it slightly better.
As an update, we've also tried the matcha cheesecake, and the Madeleine's. They were good too, and a huge plus was these were available next door at the cafe, without the massive line-ups.
Will I ever wait longer than 15 minutes? NO! But if its shorter, we will probably drop by again.
