Souffle Cheesecake Hana" in Gion, featuring the two faces of a flower arranger and a pastry chef.

October 6, 2023 open

TAKAYA started his career as a patissier and opened a café in this location along the Shirakawa River at the age of 24, but a turning point came when he was 30. He had always loved flowers, and an image that popped into his head led him to become a floral stylist who creates headdresses with fresh flowers. Takaya's new business is a store that combines the skills of a flower arranger with cheesecake, which he had long wanted to introduce to the world. The concept of the store is to 'eat flowers. I hope people will use it as a gift, just like giving a bouquet of flowers," he says. The way the cheesecake is decorated with various kinds of colorful flowers is as intricate and beautiful as a work of art.

It is hard to know where to start eating the dainty looking cakes. Even the ingredients for the dough, such as eggs laid by chickens fed on flowers and cheese made from milk of cows that have eaten herbs, are infused with the essence of flowers.

The cheesecake, available in plain or green tea, has a light, never boring taste that is mainly made with comte cheese. The flowers in the decorations and the jam to be sprinkled on top of the cheesecake afterward are also very pleasant to the palate. The whole type is a perfect gift for a loved one.
