Mix the cream cheese, sugar, salt, and vanilla together with an electric whisk.
Add the flour and corn starch, and mix well. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to the mixture, along with the milk, and mix well.
Then add the melted butter and incorporate it well into the batter. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the egg whites, lifting the mixture from underneath to avoid deflating them. This step may take some time to incorporate the egg whites into the mixture as thoroughly as possible.
Pour this mixture into a previously buttered cake pan. Place the pan in a deep baking tray and pour boiling water into it.
Bake for 35 minutes at 320°F (160°C). Avoid using the convection setting, and use heat from below if possible.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before unmolding. And there you have it, your Japanese cheesecake is ready!
