I bought lunch bread at "San Germain Tandress" in Denenchofu. It is a bakery cafe located outside the Tokyu station ticket gate. I purchased the following: Melty Cheese for 280 yen, Garlic Butter for 330 yen, and Salted Butter Bread for 330 yen. The Melty Cheese bread is filled with plenty of Camembert-like cheese. The Garlic Butter bread is a hard type similar to French bread, requiring some jaw work. The Salted Butter bread has red bean paste and butter sandwiched inside, with a fairly salty taste. It's like adding salt to watermelon to enhance the sweetness.

I ordered the Danish set. It's a shame that you can't choose iced cafe latte, but you can choose from fragrant iced tea or coffee. You can choose from three types of Danish, and I had something like an apple pie. It was delicious with a mild sweetness. It's really convenient because it's located in front of Denenchofu Station.

There is a shop in front of the Denenchofu station ticket gate, and I visited the shop for the first time in late March this year with three childhood friends. We planned to walk along the cherry blossom trees from Denenchofu to Tamagawa-dai Park, but the rain that had been falling since morning didn't stop, so we gave up on the cherry blossoms and the park and ended up eating hamburgers at Tamagawa Diner. The rain stopped before evening, but we couldn't enjoy the cherry blossoms (laughs). On this day two months later, it was a hot summer day, and at the neighboring Starbucks, two men in suits were chatting happily at a cafe table set up in front of the entrance. About ten days ago, I received an invitation saying, "My husband is unusually not staying overnight, so how about drinking at home?" The wine I chose was a label I love from Tuscany! A 2011 Durcama wine from Tuscany~♬ The story begins with the opera "L'elisir d'amore" by Donizetti, where the innocent farmer Nemorino falls in love with the capricious daughter Adina of a wealthy farmer and is deceived by the traveling medicine seller Dulcamara into buying cheap wine at a high price. I have fond memories of watching Luciano Pavarotti eat real spaghetti and drink wine on stage, so I have kept this wine carefully in the cellar, but since it is a home cellar, I cannot guarantee the taste until I uncork it! However, it is not a wine to drink while cooking with a wine glass in hand, but a vintage wine that I have kept for some occasion. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, aged for 18 months in a 300-liter French tonneau before being bottled. The Tuscany I.G.T. is produced in the vineyards owned by the prestigious Mazzei family, founded in 1435, with their top wine being the Candie Classico. In contrast, Justi and Zanza, who were architects, founded a winery in less than 30 years in 1995 out of their passion for wine and named their most proud wine label Adina, depicting the fake wine as "Inchiki Wine"! How stylish~♬ There were no issues with the cork, and when poured into the glass, the wine was very dark red, which made me a little nervous at first, but the taste was graceful with plenty of fruitiness, becoming more intense and rich with aging and a moist aroma as time passed~♬ It was truly impressive. When I texted, "I'll bring a nice wine," N-chan replied, "Then I'll buy French bread and make dips!" with cranberry and fig, scallop and cream cheese, and egg, three types~♬ They were all delicious! The baguette from Tandres has a soft crumb that goes perfectly with the dips! Arc, who will turn 16, is doing well! We all had a great time!!

Morning stroll in Denenchofu followed by brunch. I never get tired of it because of the simple bread with just the right amount of butter soaked in, giving it a crisp texture. I always feel happy while eating it. The set menu is great, but the other options are delicious too. I always end up getting an extra item. Personally, I recommend the red bean butter French bread and the shrimp sandwich!

Three childhood friends had made plans to have a cherry blossom viewing picnic at Tamagawa-dai Park over a month ago, but unfortunately, it was raining on the day of the meetup. They decided to wait it out at a cafe nearby called San Germain. They were originally planning to buy bento boxes from Mase Motomoto and walk along the cherry blossom trees to the park, but due to the rain, they were feeling discouraged. They ended up getting warm cafe lattes at the cafe and considered other options, such as eating eel at Hirahachi or having pasta at Pasta R1. Eventually, they decided to go to Tamagawa Diner for burgers after the cherry blossom viewing. The cafe they were at also offered morning sets, but they didn't see anyone having them. They used the cafe as a meeting place to discuss their plans for the day.

I went to work in Denenchofu. I wanted to take a little break. I stopped by a bakery. I had bread for the first time in a while. I had a porcini mushroom bread and a ham and cheese bread. I forgot the official names. The porcini mushroom bread had a strong flavor and was delicious. It also tasted like eringi and maitake mushrooms. The ham and cheese bread had a hard texture. I wonder when was the last time I had bread. I don't remember. There were many high-class people around. It's nice to visit once in a while. The bread was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I entered the restaurant at 8:50 AM on a regular day, with no other customers present. Despite being a bit pricey, I came for their morning set. I ordered the Morning Toast Set for 630 yen, which comes with a drink worth 480 yen (with a set for an additional 150 yen). However, at the checkout, it was only 629 yen. I was the only customer, but I had to wait for about 10 minutes. The staff seemed to be talking among themselves for about a minute even though my order was ready. When the food finally arrived, I was a bit annoyed by the unnecessary wait. The coffee was a bit expensive, but the portion was generous. The blend coffee had a strong bitterness with moderate richness and aroma, overall decent. The toast was nicely crispy on the outside and moist with butter on the inside, delicious on its own. The scrambled eggs were buttery and creamy, perfect for spreading on the toast with occasional bites of strawberry jam. The yogurt with honey was simple but tasty. The atmosphere was quite nice, with jazz music playing in the background allowing me to enjoy my own time. The restroom was surprisingly high-tech, with automatic features like opening the toilet seat and flushing by itself. However, it was not very clean. A bit more attention to cleanliness would be appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience.

I bought bread at Shinjuku, but it wasn't enough, so I thought about buying children's bread and ended up buying it. The bread incorporated trends, but the truffle bread had a strong truffle flavor. While I think it's good for a chain store, there are fewer options around Denenchofu compared to the stations closer to Shibuya on the Toyoko Line. I might use it without a straw...

I saw the old Denenchofu station building for the first time in a while. It was dismantled and restored to become an underground station. There is no longer a station name sign. The old station building is suitable to be called "Denen" (countryside). The current station is just a regular modern station. I came to Denenchofu station for a transfer and decided to have tea. I went to TENDRESSE Bakery Cafe, a Saint Germain-style cafe across the square. The tables near the entrance were full, but there were empty tables in the back. It is a spacious eat-in space. I ordered an iced tea for 409 yen (excluding tax), but I actually wanted an iced coffee. I think they must have misunderstood. I also had a horn chocolate for 180 yen (excluding tax), which was delicious. It crumbles with almonds, chocolate, and horn pieces. I like this kind of treat. The stations on the Toyoko Line continue to change with the times.

I visited with my daughter. My daughter decided to have just bread and a drink because the lunch set was expensive, but that ended up being more expensive. I ordered the Prosciutto and Mortadella set for 1090 yen, which came with soup and coffee. The croissant is delicious. It ended up costing 2600 yen for the two of us, which is a bit expensive.

I went to buy liver pate because I wanted it so much and ended up at my favorite bakery, Maison Kayser. At first, I was disappointed because it didn't look very appealing from the outside, but I decided to go in to see if there was any delicious bread. A new employee seemed to be in a rush and bumped into me without saying anything, which surprised me. I thought maybe they weren't used to it, but it made me feel sad. The shop is quite small, so I hope they pay more attention to their movements. The bread is filled with plenty of ingredients, including my favorite walnuts and figs, and I keep coming back for more.

There used to be Maison Kayser in front of Denenchofu Station, but it has now become San Germain. It seems like there are more families than before? Today, I was planning to walk to the Tama River afterwards, so I quickly ate in. The French bread is crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The croissant sandwich, which I thought would be smoked salmon and cream cheese, turned out to be egg. The corn flakes stuck to the outside of the curry bread are crunchy and add a nice touch. We bought a little bit each thinking we would share, but ended up eating too much.

This is a bakery located in front of the ticket gate at Denenchofu Station, with a similar style to Maison Kayser, which switched to its current brand in 2018. It used to be a Maison Kayser shop, and it's a bit disappointing that it's now a Saint Germain bakery. The day I visited with a friend, we bought the famous cream bread and a croissant. The croissant was good, although being packaged in plastic affected its crispiness. My friend thought the cream bread was decent, but compared it to Kameido in Kagurazaka, which might not be a fair comparison. Overall, it seems like not much has changed in terms of management, staff, or recipes, but the taste might have slightly declined from the Maison Kayser days.

This is a bakery near Denenchofu Station that specializes in San Germain-style bread. Due to the current situation, the eat-in space was closed. I tried their "Something Bratwurst Dog, ¥345" which had chopped green onions on top. The sausage was hearty and juicy, with a nice meaty texture. It seemed like a high-quality sausage, possibly imported from Germany. The bread was slightly chewy, which complemented the sausage well. Overall, I hope to be able to dine in next time.

I got off at Denenchofu Station on the Tokyu Electric Railway and immediately saw San Germain in front of me. It was bustling around 2 pm on a holiday, so I decided to go in. They had a wide variety of bread, and I bought a croissant. It was a high-quality croissant with a beautiful shape. I enjoyed it in a nearby park. The layers of the pastry, taste, and texture were all delicious.

Caramel Nut has a cute appearance with a nice combination of crunchy walnuts and slightly bitter sweet caramel cream. It would be even better with an extra touch to the bread dough. Horn Choco has a nice texture from the sliced almonds on the surface. The chocolate cream inside is creamy, but the chocolate flavor is a bit weak for my taste. Takeout prices: Horn Choco ¥190, Caramel Nut ¥240 (excluding tax). Apple Cinnamon bread looked delicious, but unfortunately, it was sold out. They also offer lunch sets: Soup set ¥880, Croque Monsieur set ¥940, and Bread Salad set ¥970. On a Sunday afternoon, the eat-in seats were full and bustling.

When you exit the ticket gate at Denenchofu Station, you will see this bakery right in front of you. Although it was still within the first three days of opening, it was quite busy. I purchased the following items: - Apple Cinnamon Bread - Caramel Nut Bread - Sausage Bread - Mentaiko (Spicy Cod Roe) French Bread - Green Olive Bread The total cost was around 1,300 yen. The apple cinnamon and caramel nut flavors are quite standard, but they are still very appealing. I enjoyed them with a spiced tea, and they paired perfectly. The Apple Cinnamon Bread had stewed apples inside, and when slightly toasted, the cinnamon sugar melted to a crispy texture, which was delicious. Overall, all the items had a reliable taste and seemed suitable for everyday consumption.

Just outside the ticket gates of Denenchofu Station, there is a bakery. Maison Kayser used to be here, but suddenly closed down. In its place, San German has been open since August 2018. This is their second store, following the one in Yurakucho ITOCiA. I decided to stop by and buy some bread. There were many tempting breads at the entrance, and as I walked in, there was an eat-in area. Next to the register, there were only a few slices of cake left, so I decided to buy one as well. It's Christmas time, after all! - Curry Bun (200 yen): A spicy curry bun filled with plenty of beef and vegetables. Delicious! This curry bun is my favorite! - Shrimp Gratin with Crispy Cheese (250 yen): Shrimp gratin made with Hokkaido milk and cream, topped with cheese and baked to a crispy finish. Perfect for winter! - Croissant (190 yen): A croissant made with fermented butter from Normandy. Crispy and fragrant with rich buttery aroma. - Chocolate Cake: A chocolate cake with a generous dusting of cocoa powder and a good balance of sweet chocolate cream. - Strawberry and Berry Shortcake: The cream was light and the sponge was dry, which was disappointing. The bakery is conveniently located near the station, so it was quite busy. The cozy interior with sofa seats makes it a great place to enjoy a leisurely cafe time.

On August 17th, San Germain opened at the location where Maison Kayser used to be in Denenchofu. The exact name of the restaurant is San Germain Tandress, and there are now only two locations, one in Yurakucho ITOCiA and the other here. I entered during dinner time, but there weren't many options available, probably because it was late. I chose two items to put on my tray: Curry Bread (200 yen) and Autumn Sweet Potato and Kabocha Squash (280 yen). I also ordered a Tandress Blend coffee (407 yen) for dine-in. The total came to 957 yen, including a 70 yen tax. It was a bit expensive, but the coffee raised the overall price. They also had five types of cakes available. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm, and all the seats were sofa seats, if I remember correctly. The coffee was served in a generous mug and had a slight acidity to it. The Curry Bread had that distinctive San Germain flavor with a bit of spiciness, which I enjoyed. I also took out the Autumn Sweet Potato and Kabocha Squash bread, which was moist and quite delicious. I'm not sure if it's part of the San Germain lineup, but the seating inside was not basic; it was chic with sofa seats, making it a comfortable place to relax.

Get off at Denenchofu Station. When you pass through the ticket gate, you will see a bread shop with an eat-in space right in front of you. San Germain, which opened in the summer of 2018 on the site of Maison Kayser, has a luxurious atmosphere. Flanmandor, a bread shop inside and outside the Denenchofu Station ticket gate, is also part of the San Germain group, so you can enjoy San Germain's bread at both locations. It is a self-service style where you pick up the bread you want on a tray, and order drinks face-to-face. In September 2018, I visited for an eat-in experience around 2 pm on a weekday. When you think of San Germain, the twisted donut comes to mind. I didn't know the official name for years, but I only found out the name when I saw the price tag on the display. (Price excluding tax) Items purchased were: Blandonut - 100 yen, Iced Cafe au Lait - 435 yen. The total including tax was 573 yen. When eating in, the donut was served on a plate. Eating it with your hands makes the coarse sugar and oil stick to your fingers. I realized that delicious things come with calories. The dough is firm and satisfying, just like it has always been. Sometimes you just crave that donut. The iced cafe au lait was easy to drink. When I got home and looked at the receipt, I was surprised by the price of the Blandonut. Only 100 yen for a donut!? Isn't this price unrealistic in the city center? Are they making a mistake with the price? I seriously panicked and decided to confirm it next month when I have to go to Denenchofu again for errands, so I postponed posting the review. In October 2018, around 11 am on a weekday, I visited for takeout. I had planned to confirm and purchase the Blandonut for the same reasons as before, but it was not available. The price of 100 yen is correct, and I am convinced that if you want to buy cheap bread, the Blandonut is the way to go. If there's no Blandonut, what should I buy? As I walked around the store pondering this, I found a bread with cheese. I thought that if it uses my favorite ingredient, cheese, it couldn't go wrong, so I bought the Mozzarella bread. (Price excluding tax) The item purchased was: Sale Mozzarella - 240 yen. The total including tax was 259 yen. It's a triangular bread with mochi mochi dough and mozzarella cheese on top. The double mochi of the bread and mozzarella cheese is delightful. When warm, the cheese stretches, and the slight salt on the surface stimulates your appetite. A few seconds after I picked up the Mozzarella bread on the self-tray, the same type of bread was freshly baked and the staff started putting it on the display. I asked if I could switch to the freshly baked one, and they kindly agreed. I'm sorry for being a troublesome customer, but I was planning to eat it right away on the train platform. Thank you very much.
