San Germain near the Nogizaka Station is a great spot for a bit of work with its good cost performance. - Order: - Iced Coffee: 350 yen - Cinnamon Donut: 130 yen The cinnamon donut is as delicious as ever. The gentle sweetness of the cinnamon sugar goes well with the soft and fluffy donut dough. It's great that you can get both coffee and a donut for under 500 yen. - Notes: - The shop is open until 9 PM, with the last order at 8 PM. - There are 16 seats for dining in. - There are 18 seats in a separate smoking area.

This is a bakery located in front of Maison Kayser. Overall, I think there are many low-priced breads. It's wallet-friendly. Every bread looked delicious. Today, I bought a half baguette and a cream puff. The cream puff was only 230 yen, but both the dough and the cream were very delicious.

It is a joy to be able to enjoy bakery bread at a similar price to convenience store packaged bread. - Order Details: - Four Fruit Bread: 260 yen The outer layer is well baked and the dough contains dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, apricots, figs). It is topped with black sugar. The natural sweetness of the dried fruits and black sugar is delicious. - Cinnamon Donut: 130 yen Covered with plenty of cinnamon sugar on the outside. The inside is moist and I love it. It's a great value for the price. - Miscellaneous Notes: - San Germain Co., Ltd. was established in 1994, but its origins date back to 1934 at the Tokyu Department Store confectionery factory. The history is quite old.

Located on the first floor of a supermarket near Kagurazaka Station, this bakery is a familiar chain store. The items I purchased this time were Cinnamon Donut: 119 yen, Viennois: 206 yen, Chicken and Basil Pizza: 292 yen, and Salt Butter (An Butter): 260 yen. The Cinnamon Donut was on a weekend limited price, so I decided to try it. The donut coated with cinnamon sugar had a nostalgic taste like a snack I used to eat in the past. The donut dough melts in your mouth. The affordable price was also a plus. The Viennois with milk cream filling had the classic flavor that did not disappoint! The cow-patterned packaging is charming. The Chicken and Basil Pizza, as the name suggests, had chunks of chicken and a strong basil aroma when heated. It was quite filling. The Salt Butter (An Butter) had a good balance between butter and red bean paste, just as I remembered. With a wide variety of bread and an eat-in space, this is a convenient store. They also offer a bread subscription service, making it quite an interesting place. I will definitely visit again.

I bought morning bread at "San Germain" in Kagurazaka. It is a bakery near the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway Kagurazaka Station. I purchased a Corn Bread for 130 yen, a Furano Melon Bread for 260 yen, and a Cinnamon Apple Bread for 220 yen. The Corn Bread has corn kneaded into the dough. The corn flavor is rich in the grain part, making it suitable as a meal bread. The Furano Melon Bread has a different texture from regular bread, similar to "Kouya." Inside, there is melon bread-flavored custard cream that enhances the melon flavor. In this shop, they also offer regular melon bread, melon bread with whipped cream, and mini sizes, showing the popularity of melon bread. The Cinnamon Apple Bread has chopped apples inside the roll. It is rich in cinnamon and melted sugar, with a strong flavor. Across the street, there is a high-end bakery called "Maison Kayser," but "San Germain" stands out with its variety of bread, affordability, and eat-in options.

I visited a bakery where almost all the products were all-you-can-eat after 3 pm. When I arrived, there were only a few bread left, and the staff confirmed that only those available would be included in the all-you-can-eat option. It seemed that no more freshly baked bread would be served at this late hour. Although the limited-time bread I was looking for was almost gone, I decided to order the all-you-can-eat option since I was already there. The all-you-can-eat bread (limited to one sandwich) and one drink were priced at 1430 yen for 60 minutes. Fortunately, there was a 20% discount promotion that day, and I could use a LINE coupon to pay only 990 yen. There were both sweet and savory options available. There was a microwave in the store, so customers could warm up the bread themselves. I ended up feeling full after eating about five pieces. If you can try the items you want, the all-you-can-eat option might be worth it even at the regular price. But if the selection is limited, it might be better to just buy individual items. If you're planning to go for the all-you-can-eat option, it might be best to visit in the morning when there are more bread varieties available.

During the summer of 2021, there was a limited-time event called "Dream Sanjerman All-You-Can-Eat Bread," which was popular, but I couldn't go because there was no Sanjerman nearby. However, the other day, when I went shopping in Kagurazaka, I found out that the Sanjerman in Kagurazaka had resumed the event, so my husband and I decided to try it for an early dinner. The pricing has changed from the previous summer event, with the current price being 1,430 yen for all-you-can-eat throughout the day. While it's nice to be able to enjoy a variety of bread inside the store, 1,430 yen is a bit expensive, and I think it might be better to buy your favorite items and enjoy them leisurely for that price. When I passed by the Kagurazaka store on a holiday shopping trip, I noticed a 20% off pop-up event scheduled for late August and decided to give it a try. The current rules include a one drink included, all-you-can-eat for 60 minutes for 1,430 yen. You can choose from coffee, tea, cafe latte, milk, orange juice, apple juice, with options for hot and iced coffee and tea. Each person is given tongs to pick up bread for infection prevention. When we arrived in the late afternoon around 4 pm, many of the popular bread items were already sold out, and the shelves were starting to look empty. We decided on a shrimp cutlet with tartar sauce and egg salad sandwich, a Hokkaido croquette burger, edamame gouda & raclette, tortilla (tacos), Hokkaido red bean and seaweed salt bread, and salt butter (red bean butter). My wife ended up eating only 6 pieces, while I tried the butter chicken curry frank, pork cutlet sandwich, and Furano melon bread in addition to sharing the other items with her.

Kagurazaka area is known for its variety of bread shops, including some stylish cafes where you can enjoy your meal. However, many of these high-end cafes often do not offer curry bread, which is a bit disappointing. It would be nice if they put more effort into offering curry bread like Robuchon does. But, for people like me who want to have curry bread for breakfast in a cafe setting, the chain store San Germain is a reliable option. Their curry bread is of the nostalgic type with a hint of sweetness, similar to the original curry bread from Katorea. It's becoming rare to find this type of curry bread in chain stores, so it's quite valuable. I have been eating Katorea's curry bread since I was a child, so it brings back fond memories. The Tartar Fish is also delicious, with a large fish fry topped with egg sauce. The service is polite and refined. Despite being a chain store, the atmosphere at San Germain has a Kagurazaka-like vibe, making it a great casual dining option.

■Order Content An Donut - 170 yen Cinnamon Donut - 100 yen The red bean paste in the An Donut was a bit rich and to my liking. The Cinnamon Donut offers good value for money. ■Random Notes Compared to places like Paul or Maison Kayser, the prices here are more affordable, similar to Little Mermaid. This bakery has a different variety of products. It seems like you can choose where to go depending on what you're looking for. The taste is satisfying for the price. They also have seating space for dining in.

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on social media and TV about Manulpan, which is easy to make at home. This time, I bought it from a bakery. The combination of garlic butter and cream cheese is excellent. If you want to make it easily at home, you can toast bread with garlic butter, then spread cream cheese on it while it's still hot to enjoy a similar taste.

On this day, after having lunch at the carbonara specialty store HASEGAWA in Kagurazaka Minamizaka-cho, I walked from Kagurazaka Ue intersection to Okubo street and bought dried fruits and nuts at Karuizawa Kinari Kagurazaka store. I continued walking along Okubo street towards Ushigome Kagurazaka station. As I approached Ushigome Kitamachi intersection, on the right side, across from Maison Kayser, there was a large supermarket called Kitchen Court Kagurazaka store. I decided to stop by this store, which was located on the first floor. San Germain is a familiar brand to me as they also have a store in my residential area. When I entered through the entrance dedicated to this store, there were shelves on the right, a checkout counter on the left, and seating for dining in the back. However, today I opted for takeout. I wanted to buy a few items, but I had forgotten to bring my own bag, so I had to give up on that idea. I searched for smaller items that could fit in the plastic bag I got from Karuizawa Kinari. I noticed the Halloween limited edition Hokkaido pumpkin moist muffin priced at 180 yen (excluding tax).

I happened to discover it while driving. Located on the first floor of the building of Keio Electric Railway's super, Kitchen Court Kagurazaka store. Upon researching later, I found out that there are 12 parking spaces available for 400 yen for 20 minutes, but if you spend a total of 500 yen or more at Kitchen Court and San Germain, you get 1 hour of parking for free. San Germain opens at 8:00, while Kitchen Court opens at 10:00, so the parking should be available between 8:00 and 10:00. I also found Maison Kayser, which opens at 8:00, across the street, so I decided to visit another time. I parked at the Keio coin parking inside the building, printed a parking certificate, and entered the store at 8:06 in the morning. I sanitized my hands, wore a mask, and consulted with the cheerful female staff while ordering the "Morning Butter Toast Set" (416 yen) with hot lemon tea and marmalade jam. To reach the free parking minimum of 500 yen, I added the "Chef's Curry Bread" (198 yen) for eat-in. Payment was cash only. I took the tray with the curry bread, tea, and number tag to the eat-in corner at the back. The background music was slow piano jazz. Later, the same cheerful staff brought the butter toast to my table. The tea was a basic tea bag with hot water, nothing special. The curry bread was still slightly warm, with chunks of potatoes in a yellow curry, mildly spicy, reminiscent of homemade curry. I spread the Awohata marmalade on the thick-cut butter toast. The toast was light, fluffy, and crispy, easy to eat multiple pieces. Amidst many restaurants transitioning to complete non-smoking due to the health promotion law from April, this place had a designated smoking room, with more seating than the non-smoking area. While cigarette smoking was prohibited, heated tobacco products were allowed. Why? Because the parent company here is JT, Japan Tobacco Inc. San Germain has been around for 50 years now. It first opened in 1970 at Tokyu Department Store's main store. Originally part of the Tokyu Group, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of JT in 2002, a group company of TableMark, formerly known as Katokichi. As a company that was originally built on smokers, it was only natural to provide a smoking room, showing their pride. I returned the empty tray to the return slot and left the restaurant.

The raisins were delicious. The chocolate cornet was also very tasty with plenty of cream.

When entering the shop, I saw a notice stating that the consumption tax rate is 10%. I bought a curry bun and a donut at a special price for weekends and holidays. The curry bun had a crispy crust and a punchy curry flavor. The crispy outer layer added strength to the curry. The smoothness was also impressive. The donut was an Old Fashioned type, coated in sugar, with a crispy and fluffy texture.

Located right next to Nogizaka-Kagurazaka Station, San Germain is on the first floor of a supermarket. They also have a dining area where you can eat in. After work, I bought a coffee and a croissant. The croissant had a nice buttery aroma and was very crispy.

Limited time all-you-can-eat buffet.

The food had a strong and delicious flavor.
