Absolutely magnificent cheesecake. I am not even joking when I say I have eaten at least one slice per night for the last 3 weeks. At LEAST. I have gained 7 pounds. Worth it. Cheers.

I ordered two cream pans and let me say it doesn't disappoint. So if you love creamy custard filling folded into buttery bread that is made with TLC, then Hamada-Ya Bakery is the place to go. Now let's say you eat one and save the other for the next day, I suggest refrigerating it. Then when you want to eat it take it out of the fridge and let it sit until it's room temperature. Your taste buds are going to be very happy you did. 😉

Top picks: Strawberry Cheesecake Danish & Spicy Curry Donut. An absolute must whenever I'm here. My boyfriend loves their strawberry cheesecake Danish pastries, but my recent favorites have been the Almond Danish and spicy curry donut. The curry packs some heat, which was surprising because I feel most "spicy" Japanese dishes are relatively mild for my taste buds. Other items that I like, but haven't had a ton of repeats have been the custard pudding, bavarian chocolate, mixed fruit tart and red bean cream bun. It's not because they weren't good, but I had my eyes on the strawberry danishes. They always sell out if you come later in the day. However, I think I may try to venture out of my norm on my next visit.

Stopped by to pick up a melon pan and a loaf of shokupan, but also was curious about the iced kinako milk tea. Melon pan was surprisingly pleasant. The crust had a light crisp and sprinkled with granulated sugar. It's no melon pan from Asakusa's Kagetsudo, but it'll do! I got a full flavor of kinako my first few sips. However, as I got to the bottom, I could see undissolved sugar and kinako powder at the bottom. So execution was lacking. Finally, the shokupan was soft and fluffy. Can't complain as it made for a killer tamago sando!

I saw on Yelp that this place had green tea soft serve, so I was excited. Have to say I was pretty disappointed. I got the green tea and vanilla mixed soft serve, which I do have to say was rather cheap, but not the best quality. The soft serve was really icy and not like that creamy soft serve texture that you can get at other places. One nice thing was that they put Cinnamon Toast Crunch at the bottom of the soft serve, which actually worked really well with the ice cream. Will definitely be keeping this in mind when I get ice cream now. However, the overall quality was not that good. I didn't get any of their pastries, but some did look good. May come back to try them out, but their soft serve doesn't really deserve this much praise.
