Under the theme "A fulfilling Valentine's in your own way," Mr. CHEESECAKE presents six products that capture the essence of Valentine's with flavors irresistible to chocolate lovers, all wrapped in specially designed packaging expressing the excitement and layered emotions of the season. These products will be available at permanent stores, the official online store, and eight pop-up locations across the country.
The first product is BASQUE CHEESECAKE Cacao, a Valentine's limited flavor of the popular BASQUE CHEESECAKE crafted to resemble chocolate. While maintaining the fragrant taste characteristic of ingredients like browned butter, vanilla, and brown sugar, cocoa powder has been added to create a classic flavor that chocolate lovers will find irresistible.
The second offering is Mr. CHEESECAKE Cafe Mocha, which combines carefully extracted coffee flavor and aroma with fragrant, bittersweet chocolate. By incorporating a rich chocolate sauce inside the cake, the product achieves an authentic cafe mocha taste. Permanent stores will offer a cup-type version called Mr. CHEESECAKE Petit Cafe Mocha, while pop-up stores will feature an assortment box containing both this flavor and the signature Classic flavor.
The third product is an assorted set combining CREAMY BAKED CHEESECAKE, which surpassed 40,000 units sold within two months of launch, with FINANCIER Cacao, which received positive feedback during Valentine's 2025. The set includes two pieces of each, making it ideal for small gifts.
Additionally, Mr. CHEESECAKE has been confirmed for its third consecutive appearance at "2026 Amour du Chocolat," the annual chocolate festival held at JR Nagoya Takashimaya in Aichi Prefecture. In addition to the Valentine's limited products, an exclusive item for JR Nagoya Takashimaya will be available: BASQUE CHEESECAKE Cacao Nama Caramel, featuring cocoa basque cheesecake layered with fresh caramel.
With warm feelings expressed in various ways, enjoy these special seasonal flavors that satisfy the heart, whether as gifts for loved ones or as rewards for yourself.

Message from Chef Tamura
For Valentine's 2026, in addition to the standard cheesecake, I've prepared a Valentine's limited flavor of the popular basque cheesecake available at our permanent stores. The fragrance of basque cheesecake pairs excellently with the aroma of cocoa powder. To ensure you experience a chocolate-like flavor, I kept the composition simple by mixing cocoa powder into the batter.
When creating chocolate flavors, I always focus on treating the cake itself as chocolate. In other words, rather than making a chocolate cake using chocolate, I create the cake by combining cocoa powder and dairy products as if making chocolate. This approach makes it easier to adjust the sweetness and better express the chocolate flavor. I hope you'll enjoy the multilayered taste and aroma despite its simplicity, as well as the contrast between the outer texture and the melting inner texture.
For this Valentine's, I've also prepared Mr. CHEESECAKE Cafe Mocha as a limited flavor. Mr. CHEESECAKE has several coffee-flavored products, all of which enjoy strong popularity among customers. This time, I've combined coffee with chocolate for the first time, expressing the taste of the cafe staple "cafe mocha" in cheesecake form.
To ensure you fully experience the coffee flavor, I infused coarsely crushed coffee beans in fresh cream, carefully extracting the aroma and taste, then mixed it into the batter. The most important and challenging element was the chocolate sauce. I repeated trials many times to create a handmade chocolate sauce with the right flavor, compatibility with the cake's texture, and resistance to temperature changes. This sauce balances the overall taste of the cake and expresses the cafe mocha character. This exquisitely balanced cheesecake was born from numerous adjustments to both coffee and chocolate flavors and aromas. For pairing drinks, I recommend La chocolaterie NANAIRO's "Cacao Tea Bolivia." The gentle aroma of cacao tea, which allows you to enjoy the taste of cacao beans themselves, enhances the cake's flavor and should make the moment even more special.
How about giving Mr. CHEESECAKE not only to loved ones but also to people you're always indebted to, or as a reward for yourself? I hope everyone has a special Valentine's Day.
