Torokeru Cheese and Addicting “Akuma no Toast” Recipe

In many countries, cheese comes in many varieties and in Japan, there is a processed cheese product meant to be melted by heating, which is generally called “Torokeru Cheese (とろけるチーズ)”.

Torokeru Cheese (とろけるチーズ)

In Japan, the processed cheese that melts by heat was first made by “Yukijirushi (雪印)” in 1987 and today Torokeru Cheese is available in 2 types and a variety of products.

Types

The original is sold in slice form and is literally called “Torokeru Slice Cheese (とろけるスライスチーズ)”, while the other type comes in thin short strips.

The former sliced variety can be eaten as it is, but the latter Torokeru Cheese shreds are usually eaten after heating.

Ingredients 

Based on the ingredients labels, the base of Torokeru Cheese is a natural cheese made with raw milk and salt, and the Japanese cheese may contain cellulose, whey powder, and emulsifier.

In Japan, Torokeru Cheese is often used for toast, and today I will introduce an interesting toast recipe that became a popular topic a few years ago, called “Akuma no Toast (悪魔のトースト)”.

The word meaning devil in Japanese, “Akuma (悪魔)” is synonymous with “addicting” here, and following the Akuma no Toast, various Akuma dishes, including “Akuma Meshi (悪魔めし)“, were created by various people.
