Onomichi Cheesecake Specialty Store Yamaneko is a famous store that cheesecake lovers will love. Originally known as Yamaneko Cafe, it closed its lunch service in August 2022 and reopened as a cheesecake specialty store in October of the same year. It is crowded with tourists who stop by to take a break from exploring Onomichi or to look for souvenirs. The cheesecakes served here are carefully handmade one by one, and are characterized by their rich cheese flavor and smooth, melting texture. The sweetness is modest, bringing out the natural flavor of the cheese to the fullest.

In addition to the classic "plain cheesecake," you can enjoy a variety of flavors, including cheesecakes made with seasonal fruits, chocolate, and matcha. Just looking at the cute cheesecakes lined up in the showcase will make you feel happy. Currently, takeout is the main service, but there is also a small eat-in space where you can slowly enjoy your meal with a drink in the store. They are particular about using local ingredients, and offer gluten-free types that do not use wheat flour, and soy milk cheesecakes that do not use eggs or dairy products.

[Useful points of concern]
The eat-in space has been reduced in size due to renovations, so it may not be available.
