It has been more than 30 years since the cafe opened in Kyoto in 1990. The New York cheesecake, based on his mother's recipe, is now a Kyoto specialty. The lineup has grown to about 40 varieties, including the standard cakes such as chocolate marble and Earl Grey, and the winter special with strawberries, and 10 to 15 varieties are displayed in the case each day. They are creamy and enchantingly rich, but never heavy. The originality of the bakery is supported by the kitchen staff who fine-tune the manufacturing process in accordance with the seasons and Charles' love for making everyone happy.
