Looks yummy.
25years in Japan
To bake anything in Japan you need a proper oven. Who has them ? Then the cost of the ingredients is far too high with many ingredients not able to be found in Japan.

Exactly. Even Costco doesn't have everything sometimes.

Even if you do, it won't be in Fahrenheit.

Which of the ingredients in this recipe are not found in Japan? I have them all right now in my pantry/fridge/freezer with the exception of fresh cottage cheese, which can be found in any supermarket, and mint, which grows like a weed in the garden.
The electric shops have shelf upon shelf of them.....
Not much of a problem. It's pretty easy to remember the equivalents. And if your memory's that bad, Siri can help you.

For one thing, the garlic here sucks. I can't find smoked sea-salt and smoked pepper. Cajun seasoning is difficult or impossible to find. Tortillas are a joke here. No corn tortillas. No cilantro (means no homemade salsa). None of the classic BBQ rubs (I hate "tare"). . . . . the ordinary cheeses sold in the supermarkets aren't so good.

None of those ingredients are in the cheesecake.....? So you weren't commenting on the article, just a general complaint?
I grow my own garlic (couldn't be easier, stick it in the ground and wait), when that's not enough Costco sells huge bags of the stuff.
Never had any call to use the other stuff you mention, but I'm surprised you'd need an oven for tortillas?
You can grow cilantro in a pot.
I agree with you wholeheartedly about the cheese. Again, Costco is a godsend, otherwise home cheesemaking is a fascinating and tasty hobby. You can buy rennet on Amazon Japan.
