    Pastry Snaffle’s is a dessert brand from Hakodate known for its signature half-baked cheesecake. Its light, soft texture is its biggest feature. It has a delicate milky flavor and moist texture, slowly melting in your mouth with almost no chewing needed. It’s gone in just a few bites, leaving you wanting a little more. The cheesecake comes in several flavors, so it’s great to pick a few and compare them as you eat. The only downside is that it needs to be refrigerated, making it inconvenient to bring back to Taiwan, so you can only enjoy it fresh while you’re there.

    This is the cheesecake I had while shopping at the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse in Hakodate. If you eat it there, it comes with a cup of black coffee, and you can stand and enjoy it at your leisure in the space behind the counter.

    I originally didn't know where the shop was and couldn't find it after wandering around. Then I suddenly heard a tour guide say they were taking everyone to buy the famous cheesecake, so I immediately followed them and found it (it's inside Kanemori Youbutsukan). I have to say, this pairing is really good. Especially after walking around in circles, getting lost, and feeling a little tired, having a cheesecake that's creamy inside and melts in your mouth instantly makes all the fatigue disappear.

    Also, the black coffee isn't too bitter, and even I, who normally don't drink much black coffee, found it acceptable. (One more thing: the logo tag stuck into the cake seems like it can be used as a spoon.) Their cheesecakes come in many flavors. If I get the chance to go again, I'd like to try the chocolate flavor.

    Also, with your purchase, you receive a JPY 50 coupon for souvenirs. If you don't need it, you can put it in their collection box, and they'll donate JPY 20 for you.

    The first time I tried Hakodate Pastry Snaffle's cheesecake, I thought the texture was very unique! Each one is small and delicate, but it's incredibly soft and fluffy when you bite into it. The cheese flavor is rich without being too heavy, and it's smooth with a subtle milky aroma. Every bite slowly melts in your mouth, making it hard to stop eating. I was so happy to try this popular dessert on my trip to Hakodate, and it became one of my most memorable food experiences from the trip!
