When you look up things to eat in Osaka, Rikuro’s cheesecake is always on the list. So we checked out this place to see if it lives up to all the hype. The store was very busy with people lining up to take out these fluffy cakes. You can see the workers continue to make cheesecake after cheesecake like a factory… It was a lot of cheesecakes!
Rikuro Ojisan no Mise
We decided to eat inside the shop where they have a small eating area. You can buy the entire cheesecake for ¥675 which is a lot cheaper than buying per slice. Then just ask the staff to slice it for you.
Japanese Cheesecake with Iced Coffee
So we tried the cheesecake and it was… okay? I don’t know if it’s because our expectations were just too high and this one fell short or if we were too full from everything else we had previously eaten. Don’t get me wrong, the cheesecake was soft and jiggly and the cheese wasn’t overpowering. I did like the raisins on the bottom of the cake since it helped balance out the richness but I know that not everyone likes raisins. I think Rikuro is worth a try once but it didn’t live up to the hype for me and I probably wouldn’t make a trip to have this again.
