This bakeshop hailing from Japan gives us merely a tiny taste of authentic Japanese cheesecakes which are unlike any other you’ll ever get to experience in other countries. These cheesecakes stand out for their soft, light, and fluffy texture and the fact that you’d rather eat them as is — no toppings necessary. Kumori’s Cheesecakes may be miniscule in size, but you’ll sooner find that they are worth every peso.
