Walked past a place in town today that sold cheese tarts, Hokaido style, apparently. I purchased 6 as they sell them in a box of six, they have 5 varieties. I got 2 yuzu flavour, I assume there is one “plain” and then 3 other flavours.

They are really nice, a sweet crust, a very smooth very soft filling, slightly tart like mascarpone or philadelphia cream cheese. Seems Hokaido style cream cheese is a particular thing and this is how it tastes.

Plain flavour-wise is as described above. Yuzu is more lemony (yuzuy), there is a thin bottom layer of very lemony filling, and it has a rind crated over it. Strawberry, a light strawberry taste, pinkish colour with bits of strawberry on top. Berry of no specification I can discern, with a big blob of berry mixture at the bottom of the pastry cup and a small bit on top for decoration, nice but a generic berry flavour. Apple with thin slices of apple on top and chunky apple mixture on the bottom. Good stuff.

I never buy things like this, or cakes or similar and such, so this was a really nice adventure in small individual cake land.
