All Reviews of Uncle Rikuro’s Freshly Baked Cheesecake

Osaka's extremely popular Uncle Rikuro's Cheesecake is known for its incredibly soft, soufflé-like texture. Fresh out of the oven, it's light and fluffy and melts in your mouth, with a rich egg flavor and a subtle milky aroma, without feeling heavy at all. The bottom is filled with slightly sweet-and-tart rum-soaked raisins, which cleverly cut through the richness and add another layer of flavor.

Besides eating it hot and fresh, you can also chill it for a firmer, smoother texture and a different taste. A 6-inch cake costs only around JPY 1,000, making it an excellent value and definitely a classic treat you shouldn't miss!

How could you visit Osaka and miss the hugely popular Uncle Rikuro's Cheesecake? It was still warm when I got it, and a light milky aroma came from the box as soon as I opened it. The cake even had the signature Uncle Rikuro stamp on top—it was so cute!

With the first bite, the texture was even lighter than I expected. It was fluffy and soft with a rich cheese aroma, and it wasn't overly sweet, making it very easy to eat.

One of the must-buy desserts in Osaka, and it truly lives up to the hype! Uncle Rikuro’s cheesecake smells incredibly tempting when it’s fresh out of the oven. The texture is soft, fluffy, and delicate, melting in your mouth. The cheese flavor is rich without being overly sweet. It tastes great warm or chilled, each with a different vibe. No wonder it’s such a popular spot in Osaka with lines out the door. Definitely worth picking one up to try when traveling in Japan!

This cheesecake is super famous in Osaka!

I thought it would be mind-blowingly good, but honestly, it was just okay.

Uncle Rikuro’s Cheesecake~~~😋

The soft and bouncy sponge cake is amazing! The sweetness is just right and the cheese flavor isn’t too strong. A must-buy in Osaka!

This is the kind of cake you should definitely buy locally and share with everyone. The value is honestly amazing—just JPY 765 for this size and flavor!

That said, it's pretty big and bulky, so it's not the best choice to carry home as a souvenir.

It's so delicious, though, that you'll want to find a way to share it...

Well, good news! You can order it online!

Definitely take advantage of that option!

My experience with Uncle Osaka in Jordan, the Boulevard branch, was very bad. The employee was discriminating in the treatment if the girl was beautiful, he served her well and smiled, and if she was a child or an elderly person, he frowned and did not serve her properly. I brought my mother from a far place to try the bubbles drink with coffee and three times he said after an hour, sulking, I went and I was not satisfied

The texture is really great—this is a must-eat every time I visit Osaka!
