Cheese Mushi Cake
I’ve got big plans for this weekend. Exciting plans. Seriously fun plans. Okay, not really. All I’ve got planned so far is to continue working on a secret project involving, well, nevermind. That, and to buy more of this Cheese Mushi Cake. I bought only one last week, and immediately regretted not buying more after tasting it.
Alternately labeled as a Baked Wheat Cake on the package, it’s a sweet and dense sponge cake that tastes lightly of cheese. It’s quite delicious. I wonder how many more I should buy…
This cheese/sponge cake looks good! I haven’t tried it before. I like to stock up on mochi rice cakes when they’re on sale. I can’t do it too often/buy too many on my budget.
Ohh my gawwwwwsh, that looks so good. I must get it in the future.
I ate this today! Verrrry soft and nice. Mmm…
Hana: I’d like to say that it’s as good as it looks.
I like mochi rice cakes, too. The Japanese ones (versus those from, say, Taiwan) can be kind of expensive, though. I also usually wait to buy them on sale.
Lian: I’m glad you liked it!
I bought some more yesterday. Was the cake you ate the same one that I had? Because I’ve seen another brand of cheese sponge cake that’s also good.

The very same. It’s very good.
This looks soo delicious! <3 I’m in love with anything cheesecake~ =D
I just had this exact cake and brand today for the first time it is soooo good. I’ve begun trying to find a recipe so I can make it at home. If you want to buy this particular brand it’s sold at Famima! Love that store!!
Juanita: Thanks for the heads-up about Famima, and good-luck finding a suitable recipe!
[...] At 240 East 9th Street (between Stuyvesant St and Second Ave) down a nearly anonymous staircase, Decibel is a gritty gem of a hole-in-the-wall. The exhaustive menu of around 100 sakes coupled with the secretive vibe and the many Japanese patrons makes you feel like you could be in an after-hours Tokyo dive. They have Junmai, Ginjo, Honjozo, and Daiginjo varieties along with unfiltered and “unique” sakes, such as hot yuzu sake, and they also serve Japanese shochu. It’s a great place to go to after dinner with friends if the evening demands more drink and conversation. If you get hungry, they also serve small dishes, both savoury and sweet, such as edamame, dumplings, okonomiyaki, kasutera, and cheese mushi cake. [...]
