Kobo Shushu is a confectionery workshop in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture, that values ​​the rich local nature and ingredients. It is especially known for its signature product, the Lake Country Fresh Cheesecake, which uses sake lees sourced from six sake breweries around Lake Biwa.

This fresh cheesecake uses sake lees with different flavors from each brewery, so you can enjoy the different flavors, just like a sake lees tasting session. Another appealing feature is that the taste changes as it matures day by day. It has also been selected as the "Ultimate Souvenir" by the Japan Tourism Agency.

In addition to cheesecake, there are a variety of unique sweets that can only be purchased here, such as "Ofurasuku," which uses Shiga-grown clove gluten, and baked goods that combine local ingredients. It is recommended for those who want to taste the blessings unique to Shiga.
