Japanese Yam Cheesecake

Aomori Prefecture is one of the nation's top producers of Japanese mountain yam (nagaimo), making it a well-known "specialty region for stickiness." This cheesecake unexpectedly transforms that yam into a fusion of Japanese and Western sweets. At the center of the moist, steamed cake, white bean paste mixed with cheese is gently hidden. The smooth texture unique to nagaimo, the gentle sweetness of the white bean paste, and the subtle richness of the cheese blend together to create a deep flavor rarely encountered elsewhere. It has an elegant finish that doesn't feel like eating a vegetable at all. This is a slightly luxurious treat subtly wrapped in Aomori's identity. It is recommended for both everyday tea time and as a souvenir for special occasions.
