Toba Kokusai Hotel's cheesecake is a masterpiece with a 50-year history in Toba!

Toba is a tourist destination in Mie Prefecture.

The hotel we will be covering this time is Toba Kokusai Hotel, which is located on top of a small hill in Toba.
Even though it’s a hotel, is it famous? I have my doubts, but here we have a product that has a history of 50 years.

That is "Toba Kokusai Hotel Cheesecake".

Cheesecake with confidence backed by history

When you enter the lobby overlooking the beautiful ocean, there is a cafe lounge on the right.
That's where you can try the "Toba Kokusai Hotel Cheesecake" that we're introducing this time.
The cheesecake was created about 50 years ago.
It was apparently developed by a bakery chef as an after-meal dessert.
Bakery craftsman makes cheesecake? You might think that, but at that time there was no department of pastry chef specializing in sweets, so making baked goods was the job of bakery workers.
Apparently, the manufacturing method for Toba Kokusai Hotel Cheesecake has not changed for 50 years, and the current pastry chefs are working hard to carry on this tradition.

TobaCity- Taste of Memories

Mr. Koyanagi and Mr. Yamada were in charge of this interview.
Both of them are from Toba and have been fans of Toba Kokusai Hotel Cheesecake since they were children.

Whenever there was a celebration, he would come to the hotel to buy cheesecake. Mr. Koyanagi said that when he was little, he looked forward to buying this cheesecake along with the bread sold at the hotel.
In addition to cheesecake, they seem to be focusing on bread as well.
I took the opportunity to see the bread corner, and there was something called ``cheesecake roll bread.''
I was surprised to see that "cheesecake" was also used in the bread.
I felt so loved.

The ``Toba Kokusai Hotel Cheesecake'' recommended this time is the plain version, but there are many other types.
In the beginning, there were about 3 types, but now there are more than 5 types.
Also, depending on the season, a seasonal ``cheesecake'' will be served for monthly lunches, and when I visited, they had a ``cheesecake'' with a ``sakura'' flavor.
Many customers came to enjoy this limited edition ``cheesecake'', so the cafe lounge and hotel shop were crowded with people.

It's not just delicious. recognized taste

One of the special manufacturing methods is the ``bisky dough,'' which you can find under ``cheesecake.''
It is said that it is difficult to spread the bisky to a uniform thickness and maintain a balance with the cheesecake batter.
He is also very particular about the degree of doneness, and cannot tolerate anything that is poorly grilled or has even the slightest bubbles.

This "Toba Kokusai Hotel Cheesecake" won the gold medal at Monde Selection in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and the highest gold award last year in 2018.
It is also currently served as a dessert in business class on Japan Airlines flights from Centrair to Honolulu and Bangkok.
I hear that you sometimes have a stall at events at shopping centers in the prefecture, but if you're looking forward to it, when and where will you hold the event? There were also inquiries like this.

Enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere

From the hotel lobby, you can access the terrace overlooking Toba Bay.
You can also enjoy ``cheesecake'' here.
When it gets warmer, it might be nice to have some ``cheesecake'' outside.

Enjoy the traditional taste

I took it home and tried it.
The best ``cheesecake'' with the sour taste of apricot jam and moist texture.
It's certainly nothing new, but you can eat it with confidence.
Once you try it, you'll know that you'll want to come back again.
This time I ate plain, so next time I would like to go to the hotel cafe and enjoy the seasonal flavors.
