I’m a sucker for cakes! When I was still a baby (of course I won’t remember but there are photos left), my grandmother would always bake a cake for me monthly. I don’t know if I ate them but I bet I didn’t (I was still a baby).
When I was of age, she got alzheimer‘s and was bedridden and she could hardly remember me. I missed her cakes and actually I wanted to learn from her but my eagerness to learn came too late.
She’s now laid to rest but everytime I eat cakes, I would always remember her. I don’t know how her cakes taste like but I would always think it’s sweet like her.

Fast forward to now, cakes have always been my comfort food. Everytime I’m feeling down, I would always look for cakes.

My favorite cake is cheesecake. And this cake from Osaka, Japan - only found in Osaka - has been my go-to cheesecake.

It’s fluffy and super soft! It melts in your mouth! I could finish it in one sitting (ssh please don’t tell others).

I’ve moved to Tokyo now and Osaka’s a 3 hour bullet train ride but whenever I visit Osaka, I would always bring home this Rikuro’s cheesecake. No other cheesecakes in Tokyo can compare to this, but of course I just couldn’t go to Osaka anytime I want so I’m considering other cheesecakes and cakes.

If you’re in Osaka, don’t forget to buy Rikuro’s cheesecake. They’re so yummy and so affordable.
