    When in Otaru, of course you have to visit the famous LeTAO Main Store! The European-style exterior has the romantic feel of a Western confectionery shop, and once inside, you'll see all kinds of beautifully crafted desserts. Everything looks so tempting.

    This time, I ordered their signature cheesecake. It was smooth and creamy, with a rich cheese flavor and a subtle milky aroma. The texture was very delicate, and it wasn't overly sweet or heavy. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it!

    After exploring the streets of Otaru, it felt especially relaxing to sit down here and enjoy a dessert. LeTAO really is a place you shouldn't miss when visiting Otaru. Trying the cheesecake at the main store made my Otaru dessert trip feel even more complete!

    This place is best known for its Double Fromage cheesecake. The top layer is a light, melt-in-your-mouth cheese mousse, while the bottom is a dense, delicate cake. The combination of the two different textures gives it a lot of depth, and overall it's really good. It's perfect with black tea, which is smooth and not astringent, balancing the rich cheesecake nicely. The second floor is the dining area, and they also serve regular meals at lunchtime.
    The first floor is a souvenir shop where you can sample cookies while browsing for souvenirs you like. They have a black tea chocolate sandwich cookie that I buy every time I visit. It's become my regular souvenir. If you come to Otaru, I really recommend setting aside some time at LeTAO for dessert and souvenir shopping!

    When you arrive at the LeTAO Main Store, the first thing that catches your eye is its European-style exterior. You can't help but stop and admire it as you pass by.

    Besides LeTAO's signature sweets, there are also many exclusive items only available at the main store, making it hard for dessert lovers to resist. There's also a seating area where you can take a break when you're tired from walking around and enjoy desserts and drinks. The super-popular cheesecake is a must-order~
