My Japanese Cheesecake Recipe has the same cotton-soft sweetness and jiggly nature - now simplified from the usual complex methods of other recipes.
Japanese cheesecake is pillowy soft, with cottony texture and soufflé like crumbs.
When it is fresh from the oven, the cake is so soft that it jiggles like soufflé!

It's light, fluffy, moist and less sweet than any other cheesecakes. Japanese cheesecakes, sometimes called soufflé or cotton cheesecakes, have a melt-in-the-mouth texture that's like a classic cheesecake crossed with an ethereal sponge cake. Just like the japanese cheesecakes from asian bakeries. Light like a spongecake (as i think it should be) yet still. Japanese cheesecake is one of those Japanese desserts everyone loves.
