I'd seen the little cheesecakes for sale at my favourite Japanese snack store, MD Ranking, twice before. But on both occasions, I'd missed out due to the popularity of the snack (I'll also mention that MD Ranking seems to order a limited amount and snacks get sold out like that!) So when I saw the last box for grabs yesterday afternoon, I made sure to buy it even though it cost me $25!
The cheesecakes sat in a very cute little box. Whilst not Kawaii cute, the box made the food look delicious and soft, especially with its pictures of the rippling cheese and spoons full of creamy cheesecake.
Each of the individual cakes had a little plastic around them stamped with the cute light blue logo of the company. I also liked the actual cups the cakes were in. Tiny, shallow little oval dishes. The Japanese just do such a lovely job with packaging, though sometimes I wish they would use a little less plastic.
The Cheesecakes were soft and rich and creamy. Totally smooth and silky on my tongue. I don't normally expect this from packaged cakes, but Tokyo Cup de Cheesecake cakes were really creamy and delicious! I would totally recommend trying it if you see it in your local Japanese snack store.
There was only one flavour in my local store - this creamy original or vanilla flavour. But if you're interested in other flavours, you can view them on this Japanese sales website for Tokyo Cup de Cheese!
