How to make Cheese cake in Japan

This creamy cheesecake is called rare cheesecake (レアチーズケーキ). It sounds weird in English but in Japan, this cake is one of be-loved desserts!

 

What is Rare Cheesecake?

Rare cheesecake means no-bake cheesecake in English. It is easy to understand that rare cheesecake is totally opposite from baked cheesecake.  This name sounds weird but, it is one of the Wasei Eigo (和製英語) which is Japanese English or Japanese created words that sound like English. It is said that ‘rare’ came from the term used for steak. Steak can be called ‘rare’ or ‘medium rare’ to describe how well the steak is cooked. People named rare cheesecake using the same naming schema.

 

Where is Rare Cheesecake originally from?

Rare cheesecake was created in Japan. It is said that Top’s, an American-style restaurant in Akasaka in Tokyo, was the first to make rare cheesecake in 1964. From my own experience, rare cheesecake got popular in Japan after 2000. So many cake stores started offering it and there is a homemade easy rare cheese package that is sold in stores. Nowadays, I can say 99% of the cake stores sell rare cheesecake.

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩
