Unlike its sister shop in Hibiya that specialises in rare and basque cheesecakes, the Namery Roasted in Harajuku is known for its luxurious nama (raw) cheesecake. These smooth, creamy, decadent cakes melt as soon as you bite into it, as they are not bound with gelatin like a regular cheesecake. The raw cheesecakes (from ¥1,000) here are available in six flavours – plain, bitter, pistachio, black tea, caramel and matcha – and they come topped with heaps of fresh fruit.
You could save the dessert for later and order a plate of curry (¥1,500) for lunch first. For something mild, go for the tomato butter or coconut lemon curry. However, we recommend the spicy house special, Namery Curry, that’s made with Matsuzaka beef.
