titi

There’s pleasure in choosing a flavour before you even open one of the little boxes of cheesecake. At titi in Momodani, the options range from classic plain to seasonal varieties, and some customers take home several different flavours. Reviewers have noted the cakes’ light, smooth texture and gently restrained sweetness.

For a first taste, the milky plain cheesecake lets the flavour of Hokkaido cream cheese shine. Double Fromage layers soufflé and baked cheesecakes, bringing two textures together in one cake. First-Harvest Lemon pairs a fragrant lemon cake with custard cream made with Sicilian lemons, offering a sweet-tart contrast to the plain version. Customers who have tried the plain and lemon flavours have also commented that the lemon’s acidity makes it refreshing and easy to enjoy.

Tiramisu combines a coffee-flavoured cheesecake with a pleasant bitterness and mascarpone, while matcha brings the savoury depth and subtle bitterness of Uji green tea. These offer alternatives to the fruit-based flavours. Some visitors have enjoyed the smooth texture of the fig version, with pieces of fruit, while others have praised the rich pumpkin flavour. Options such as fig and pumpkin change with the seasons, so the selection can be different from one visit to the next.

Another gift-worthy choice is Chichikoro, a bite-sized financier. It comes in plain and chocolate, as well as lemon: a lemon cake made with lemon zest and peel in the batter and topped with icing containing lemon juice, for a bright, tangy finish. Chichikoro Petit contains 2 each of the plain, chocolate and lemon flavours, 6 pieces in all—a handy way to try a little of each.

The boxed cakes come with wooden forks, making them easy to eat straight away. Reviewers appreciate them not only as gifts but also as an outdoor snack. Pick a few intriguing flavours for yourself, or let the charming boxes add a thoughtful touch to a present. A selection of cheesecakes and baked treats is also an easy choice for a gathering of sweet-toothed friends.
