Zipangu Cheesecake,
Perfect Fusion of
Western and Japanese.
![Zipangu-ジパング-ロゴ]()
Our Concept
We have always loved joyous faces, and wanted to creat smile
that would be like giving
birthday presents or eating birthday cakes.
We created our original cheesecake
because we wanted to see splendid smile every day.
We have thought that everyone could eat cheesecakes whenever they wanted,
not the
birthday once a year.

Cream cheese Yogurt
The characteristics of Zipangu Cheesecake which was created by many trials are removing unique smell of cheese by mixing cream cheese with yogurt, and the flavor is well-balanced by bringing out the original flavor of all ingredients to the maximum. Especially, the acidity of lactic acid and the fresh fragrance of cream are so pleasant. We assure that everyone can take it whenever they want, for its well-balanced cool taste.
-
Egg and Sugar
Eggs and sugar play a key role in the harmony. By using "Maximum Koi Eggs" which have rich taste and no smell, the body of the cake is deepened and the flavor is not lost. Wasanbon, one of the best traditional sugar in Japan, is used as the essential sugar for cakes, because not only it brings out sweetness, but also it pursues smooth melting in the mouth, an elegant taste, and a gentle aroma. We reached the state of "brand-new delicious" and "fluffy sensation", by combining the sweet and gentle fragrance of Wasanbon, the fragrance of lactic acid contained in yogurt, which it means the fusion of Japanese and Western flavors.

Harmony of Melting texture,
Caramelize and Gluten-FreeEven those who don't like cheesecake can enjoy it. It is rich and melts in the mouth. In addition, the caramelized surface overturns the common sense of the cheesecake world, so it is very easy-to-eat and invites another bite. Because it is gluten-free, it is perfect for those who are on a diet, and it can also be enjoyed by those who are allergic to wheat.

In pursuit of richer matcha cheesecake,
we use matcha from Marumataen, having
long-history and traditional tea manufacturer in Kyoto.
In order to make the best use of the flavor of matcha,
we arrange to bring out the
aroma of matcha by reducing the lactic acid contained in yogurt.
Furthermore, white
chocolate is added to low fat whipped cream to make the taste mellow.
The patissier
bakes cakes so carefully one by one at a low temperature,
because it requires skill of watching the timing and temperature of adding matcha to
fresh cream.

In order to bring out the fragrance of hojicha (Roasted Green Tea) to the fullest,
we are using a lot of strictly selected Japanese hojicha leaves.
As a sweet factor that goes well with authentic roasted green tea leaves made in
Japan,
we use roasted brown sugar that melts into cakes mildly for the fusion of the specific
flavors.
The patissier bakes cakes so carefully one by one at a low temperature,
because it requires skill of watching the timing and temperature of adding hojicha to
fresh cream.
Tea Leaves Made in Kyoto

Kaori Imura, the patissier of Zipangu cheesecake was born in Koga City, Shiga Prefecture in
1997.
From a young age, she had aspired to be a patissier, and after graduating from high school, she
moved to Osaka to study production of Western confectioneries, breads, and Japanese
confectioneries at Tsuji Institute of Patisserie.
While Kaori was in Tsuji school, she was full of curiosity and visited various confectionery
shops all over Japan, and visited to France and Austria to touch the quality of authentic
confectionery and to feel the greatness of patissiers.
After graduating from Tsuji Institute of Patisserie in 2017, she joined POIRE, "shinise" (famous
with long-history) confectionery company in Osaka, where she trained and studied.
After retiring from POIRE with three years exprerience there, she moved to a dining bar in

that did not stick to the stereotypes.
