It’s easy to see why everyone is obsessing over Japanese cheesecake. The popular dessert is a lighter version of the real thing. It has a sponge cake that is less sweet and contains less calories than traditional cheesecake.

Japanese cheesecake also has a fluffier texture because it’s usually made by whipping the egg whites and egg yolks separately.

To get your fill of the delicious dish in Metro Vancouver, check out some of these shops.
