Different country, but same rules. We tried three different cakes at three different price points to see which one was the most Worth It.

Our first stop was Pablo in Shinsaibashi, Tokyo.

Here we would be served their original Cheese Tart. The cake costed ¥787 or $7 USD.

The Cheese Tart has been their signature pastry from the start. A perfect ratio of meringue to cheese batter must be applied in order to avoid the cake being too airy or mushy.

This texture and flavor of this cake was gentle and delicious. Steven described it as a gentle kiss and Andrew was surprised that this was already the first location.
