The Latest in Flaming Cheese Experiences
Cheese Tavern CASCINA (チーズタバーンカシーナ) in Ebisu is adding a new dish to its popular line of theatrical cheese experiences: the "Flaming Wagyu Hamburg Steak Lasagna." Available for a limited time during dinner service from April 1 to April 30, 2026, it combines lasagna, wagyu hamburg steak, and rich melted cheese in one indulgent plate.
The dish is made by flambing a cheese vessel at the table, then filling it with mashed potato and plenty of melted cheese to create a rich, stretchy cheese mashed potato. When scooped with a spoon, the cheese pulls into long, dramatic strings — a visual highlight that is a big part of the experience. The finished cheese mashed potato is then generously ladled over a lasagna topped with wagyu hamburg steak.
The combination of tomato-sauce lasagna, savory wagyu hamburg steak, and stretchy melting cheese mashed potato delivers a deeply rich flavor that cheese enthusiasts are sure to appreciate.

About the Signature Flaming Cheese Pasta
The restaurant's most popular item, the Flaming Cheese Pasta, is finished inside a whole wheel of Pecorino Romano — an Italian hard cheese.
The preparation takes place in front of guests. The Pecorino Romano cheese wheel is heated until the inside begins to melt before the pasta is introduced.
Once the flambe flame goes out, freshly boiled pasta is swiftly transferred from the kitchen into the cheese wheel.
The pasta is quickly tossed to coat it richly with the melted cheese, then plated and served.
