As a response to the pandemic, Chef Kishida developed this now-famous cheesecake recipe to keep his staff afloat. This three-layer cheesecake begins with a tart of dried nuts, followed by a layer of rare cheesecake blended with cream cheese and sour cream, and a top layer of baked cheesecake made with rare 36-month-aged Comté cheese. Each layer creates a specific balance and harmony between sweetness and acidity, texture and mouthfeel, form and function— worthy of his status at the pinnacle of Japan’s culinary scene.
