Basque country is a European region that is 1/6 in France and 5/6 in Spain, crossing the Pyrenees and facing the Atlantic. It has a unique culture, language and ethnicity. So it's a highly specific origin that is surprising to find mentioned so far away from Europe.
As for this cake, it did feel like good quality. But it also confirmed that I prefer the firm kind of cheesecakes.
To be fair, Basque people expanded well outside Basque country and took root in a few odd spots as a result. I live in Nevada, and we have Basque festivals in a few cities with many actual Basque people here annually. I wouldn't say I'm an expert by any measure, but maybe some took root near Tokyo too? Wouldn't be the craziest thing.
EDIT: There's apparently a wiki page specifically about this, though it makes no mention of Japan that I saw.

I had no idea the Basque diaspora was this important, this region is not that big.
