In the past, traveling to Hakodate meant taking the slow JR train, making transportation inconvenient.
So, many delicacies were best enjoyed in Japan itself.
Now, with the Hokkaido Shinkansen, getting around Hakodate is much easier.
Moreover, you can buy it at the domestic terminal on the second floor of Hakodate Airport, so there’s no need to carry it all the way from the city to the airport.
After opening the outer plastic bag,
you can see that the box indicates a shelf life of 7 days. Snaffle’s cheesecake can be kept for 7 days.
After packing the box, it looks like this.
Each box contains 8 pieces and costs ¥1200 (excluding tax).
Surprisingly, it remained quite intact after bringing it back to Taiwan from Japan.
However, because the cake is so delicate, I carried it by hand onto the plane.
After opening the packaging bag, it looks like this.
Peel it open and take a look.
There is no other filling inside.
The texture is not like a chiffon cake, nor like a cheese tart.
It feels somewhat like whipped cream but not as soft as cream.
Actually, the Japanese name for Snaffle’s cheesecake is “チーズオムレット.”
Translated it means “Cheese Omelette.”
How to describe the texture? I’m not very good at it, so I’ll just paste the description from the official website.
“When cut with a fork, it has a texture like a half-cooked omelette. A soufflé-type cheesecake.”
(The above is my non-professional Japanese translation)
Original Japanese text: フォークで切るとまるで半熟オムレツのようにとろりとした食感を持ったスフレタイプのチーズケーキ。
That’s the Snaffle’s cheesecake I haven’t had in many years.
It used to be available only in Hakodate, but now you can also find it in New Chitose, Sapporo, and Tokyo.
However, it doesn’t evoke the same feeling as the first time I tasted it.
