Re: Inspired by 1 - food that you thought was going to be tastier than it actually was

Here's a hill I will die on: the world-famous Japanese cheesecake? Is not cheesecake. It's ASS.

One of the things I wanted to do, for shits and giggles, while in Osaka was try one of the famous Rikuro-Ojisan's souffle cheesecakes. We managed to get in a relatively short line (about 10-20 minutes) at the Ebisubashi-suji location, to grab a cake and go back to the hotel to taste-test and enjoy. However, we did not enjoy.

It isn't cheesecake. It's egg souffle. Which is fine, if that's what you're expecting, but when you grow up with real cream cheese in the midwest and know that cheesecake should be equal parts cheese to egg, having a ratio of about 3 eggs to 1 cheese is just wrong. Not Cheesecake. Sorry Japan, your lactose intolerance has given you a skewed idea of what cheesecake ought to taste like. Literally the only disappointing food I put in my mouth while in Japan.

It's been 20ish years since I was in Japan, but their cheese was almost always a disappointment. Even on pizza.

I split one of those cheesecakes with a few of my travel mates when we were in Osaka and we were all confused and disappointed. I’m not sure what we were expecting, but it definitely wasn’t that.

The fluffy pancakes were also kinda meh. They tasted too egg-y for me. Looked pretty though.

exactly it. Like, it's okay for what it is, but what it is isn't what you expect from either the name or the hype.

Yessssss!!!!!

When I ate it it was like eating eggy styrofoam.

I feel like it's more of an aesthetic thing. It looks pretty therefore the expectation is for it to taste good.

I feel the same about the cloud/puffy pancakes and French macarons.

They're pretty looking desserts, but they're not that good tasting.
