What's the Difference Between Japanese and Regular Cheesecake?
It turns out this may be the thing for you if you're trying to control your sweet tooth, but wanna have a cheat day. The way it is made and the texture of the two differ quite a bit, as the Wiki explains:
It is less sweet and has fewer calories than standard Western-style cheesecakes, containing less cheese and sugar. The cake is made with cream cheese, butter, sugar, and eggs. Similar to chiffon cake or soufflé, Japanese cheesecake has a fluffy texture produced by whipping egg white and egg yolk separately.
