On the quest for the fluffiest Japanese cheesecake in Osaka, Shizuka heads to the Rikuro Ojisan no Mise (Uncle Rikuro’s Shop) main store in Namba, Osaka.

Famous for their jiggly cheesecakes, which are made in-house 12 at a time, Uncle Rikuro cheesecake can be enjoyed in 3 ways: freshly-baked, chilled in the fridge, or heated in the microwave. Their cheesecakes are prepared from opening to closing so that customers can try it fresh at any time of the day.

What makes this Japanese cheesecake so fluffy? The secret is in beating the eggs and having the right oven. Uncle Rikuro cheesecake is also made with carefully-selected eggs and fresh milk that make the texture of the jiggly cheesecake so airy and light. Danish cream cheese is imported specially for this cake, imparting a mild flavor that everyone will enjoy; and the sun dried raisins that line the circumference of the cheesecake are soaked in syrup, adding another element of surprise to the classic jiggly cheesecake.
