The Matcha Tokyo x El Born’s Burnt Basque Matcha Cheesecake

Who knew that creamy Basque cheesecake could pair so well with the unique, addictive flavor of matcha? The Burnt Basque Matcha Cheesecake—a special collaboration between The Matcha Tokyo and El Born La Pastisseria—brings together the best of both worlds.

This dessert is a dream for matcha enthusiasts who believe that the more bitter the matcha, the better. Made of 100% organic matcha, its earthy flavor is beautifully balanced by a caramelized, crunchy biscuit crust. Each bite delivers a luxurious, creamy texture that melts effortlessly in your mouth. Topping the cheesecake are crunchy pecan bits that add a subtle contrast in texture while enhancing the overall flavor profile.

Its popularity reflects the perfect harmony of flavors and textures that dessert lovers crave. With its elegant presentation, rich aroma, and unforgettable taste, this artisanal creation is an absolute must-try.
