 Hirota has been in operation in Taiwan for over 15 years now. It's a bright store on Tien Mou East Road familiar to local residents and frequent visitors to the Tien Mou area. Hirota was originally a famous dessert chain store in Japan. To this day, the majority of the cake makers at Hirota are still Japanese. Hirota's cake making master, Lin Liang Chen, is responsible for making cakes at Hirota, and he was also one of the first cake making experts who was sent over to Taiwan by Hirota's Japan headquarters. All of his cakes, especially his cheese cakes, are a treat to have for all occasions. Reasonably priced at NT$50 per slice, Hirota's cheese cakes have a slight lemony taste to it, as a hint of lemon juice is added during the cake making process. Hirota's cheese cake is very soft in texture, and has a very thin crust. This is a cheese cake for those who enjoy their cakes a little bit sweeter, and without a strong cheese tastes. Hirota's cakes have a light cheese taste and will certainly live up to your expectations of a high quality Japanese style cheese cake.
