During a visit to Germany in the 1960s, he was inspired by a regional variety of <em>k\u00e4sekuchen<\/em> (German cheesecake). Upon his return to Japan, he aimed to create a blend of German and American cheesecake, giving rise to the Japanese cheesecake in 1969. This cheesecake is less sweet than its Western counterparts and contains less cream cheese and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-many-faces-of-japanese-cheesecake\">What are the Japanese Cheesecake Varieties?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, not all cheesecakes are the same.

Some also follow the style of the <strong>American cheesecake<\/strong> (\u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\u30f3\u30c1\u30fc\u30ba\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad) or lean towards the fresh, unbaked cake direction, such as the <strong>rare cheesecake<\/strong> (\u30ec\u30a2\u30c1\u30fc\u30ba\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad) or the <strong>Basque cheesecake<\/strong> (\u30d0\u30b9\u30af\u30c1\u30fc\u30ba\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can also try these variations when visiting a caf\u00e9. What could be better than taking a break from sightseeing and enjoying a delicious piece of cake?<strong> Morozoff<\/strong>,<strong> PABLO<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>and <strong>Cheese Garden <\/strong>are renowned for their cheesecakes, offering different varieties in addition to simple Japanese cheesecake.
