大盛り・フォー・ミー
Shinbashi Bakery Shinbori Store
I had been wanting to visit this restaurant with a bread buffet that I was interested in for a long time. It became a PayPay Minato Ward 30% refund target store, so I was able to make my first visit. I entered the store before 12 pm on a weekday. Inside, there is a central cash register, with the bakery on the right and the eat-in space on the left. Since the cashier was busy, I had to wait for a long time, and when they finally finished, they just pointed silently to a table. Huh? There were several tables for 4 people with narrow spacing. I sat at a table in the back and immediately ordered what I had decided on. Pork Curry - 650 yen. The bread buffet was the main reason for my visit, so I chose the cheapest option. That's the reason. I went straight to the buffet table (stainless steel rack). There were no plates? When I asked, they silently pointed to the second row of the rack (Huh? Second time). It was a basket that seemed like it could be sold at a 100 yen store, with a sheet laid out. Oh, this way, you can put a lot without the risk of dropping compared to flat plates. Nice. There were two containers for bread. One contained cut sandwiches with ingredients like ham and cheese, egg, tuna and vegetables. Proper sandwiches! Amazing! The other container contained cut side dishes and sweet bread like cheese bread, melon bread, red bean paste bun, chocolate bread... a wide variety of options! The variety of bread is wonderful. Most bread buffet restaurants usually have simple bread, but this store offers bread with cream and cheese, which is great. The sandwiches are also fantastic! The taste is good too! However, the fact that the bread is cold affects the taste. It's disappointing, but it's difficult to replenish freshly baked bread every time. There is no toaster, but there is no space to place or wait, so it can't be helped. I filled the 100 yen store basket with plenty of bread and enjoyed it. Satisfied! At one point, when the bread and sandwiches were almost empty and left for a while, I informed the staff and they replenished it. By the way, it took quite a long time for the curry to come out. I think it's just a matter of serving rice, pouring curry, and adding Fukujinzuke, right? I was eating bread, so there was no problem waiting, but it's not a big deal. The taste of the curry is quite ordinary. There were 2-3 small pieces of pork in it. No vegetables. Oh, a salad also comes with it. Plenty of vegetables in a deep plate is nice. There was even potato salad! A group of four men sitting at the table next to me hardly ate any bread and just kept waiting for the food to be served. It's not good if you're in a hurry. When I was about to leave after paying, I noticed the service items in front of the bakery. A large focaccia for 150 yen, and three large plain buns for 200 yen! I bought them and had them at home - they were delicious when warmed up, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I had seen a review stating something like "I couldn't accept the service, so I won't come back" and I thought, "Ah, I see," and understood. While I wouldn't say the service was friendly, I would like them to at least improve to a normal level of service. But I liked the bread buffet and the variety of meal options (and it's cheap with the bread buffet included!), so I would love to visit again!
