Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake - Baking Technique (Part 3/4) | Japanese Eats

This is the first North American outpost of the highly acclaimed Japanese dessert chain Uncle Tetsu. Located in Toronto, the store
commands long lineups for its light and fluffy Japanese cheesecakes. This video captures the process that is carried out to make the fluffy cheesecakes. The shop has three small ovens, enough to make only a dozen cheesecake at a time.

Uncle Tetsu's website sums it up well: the Japanese cheesecake has an elegant flavor of a unique soft and melting texture with reduced sweetness. The freshness and exquisite flavors are a result of the use of high quality butter produced in Japan and cream cheese produced in Australia.

“Make, sell, make, sell,” says Tetsushi Mizokami, 67, the entrepreneur behind Toronto’s latest obsession, which began in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1990. During a rare Toronto visit, he’s explaining how his confection, are made, then sold immediately, so they don’t ever become stale. “It’s more better that way.”

It also helps explain the hordes who have been waiting outside Mizokami’s first North American location at 598 Bay St., often for more than two hours, for a six-inch cake ($8).

If you are in the search for the best Japanese cheesecake, Uncle Tetsu is worth a visit!
