Enjoy Torched Cheesecake at 【nurikabe cafe SSS】
“nurikabe cafe SSS” is located about a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station along Meiji-dori toward Ebisu. It’s a convenient venue suitable for all occasions, including lunch, dinner, cafe time, or drinks.
The signature dessert here is their cheesecake. They offer around 10 varieties including plain, chai, matcha, and strawberry, and they even torch the surface of the cheesecake right in front of you.
When I visited, I ordered the chai and original flavors, and both were torched before serving. Combining the crisp, caramel-like texture of a brûlée with a smooth cheesecake interior, it offers a one-of-a-kind cheesecake experience. Highly recommended if you want to try something unique.

Kenyan is a tea specialty cafe located about 10 minutes on foot from Shibuya Station, tucked behind Kouen-dori in an area lined with popular cafes and apparel shops. In business for over 40 years, it is officially recognized by the Japan Tea Association as a “Store Serving Delicious Tea.”
The interior has a retro Japanese Kissaten vibe. They serve tea-focused beverages, lunch options like Salisbury steak, and cakes. Among their 3 cheesecake options, the NY Cheesecake is a standout.
It’s a simple cheesecake built on a cookie crust, but the texture is surprisingly silky. The moment you bite into it, an explosion of rich flavor makes you whisper “delicious!” If you want great tea and cheesecake in Shibuya, Kenyan is hands-down my top recommendation.

The Shibuya 1-chome branch offers excellent coffee alongside sandwiches and desserts. The cool, West Coast-inspired aesthetic is a major draw.
I tried the “Butternut Maple Cheesecake.” It combines a silky texture with a milky, clean dairy flavor, enhanced by the bittersweet caramelized notes of maple syrup. A sophisticated taste you can’t find elsewhere.
