Inspiration and Commitment

Along with more widespread recognition of the Basque region itself, Basque cheesecake has become popular in Japan in recent years.

While this is the better known treat, basque cheese tarts are also a long-standing favorite.
The cheese’s density and baking method are difficult to adjust, so they can’t be made in large quantities. As a result, you don’t find them so often.

Riding on the wave of Basque cheese cake’s current popularity in Japan, Egun on's basque cheese tart was created through repeated trial and error in the hope that customers would enjoy the treat that’s so popular with Basque locals.
Its most distinctive feature is the density and texture of the cheese, which is created with Egun on's special method of firing the tart as it cools.
The tarts incorporate French Roquefort cheese, reputed to be one of the three best blue cheeses in the world.
This has resulted in an unprecedented new flavor of cheese tart with a fine balance of sweet and savory.
