I love Seijo Ishii so much that I go there when I'm in a pinch. I'll buy some cut fruits, eat them before bed, or bring them back to my accommodation. The fruit selection is mainly melon and pineapple, both of which are delicious. The melons are perfectly ripe and tasty, and even though I wasn't a big fan before, I'm starting to like them more. The pineapples are consistently good, with just the right amount of acidity to balance out the sweetness. Seijo Ishii in the city center is like an oasis because they're open in the morning and at night.

【Trigger】I went to the Yokohama store and the great cost performance made me come to the Ebisu store!【Exterior/Interior】Located inside a commercial facility, it has a casual atmosphere.【Food/Value】As it seems to be a directly managed store of Seijo Ishii, the truffle-based dishes have great value and generous portions.【Order】- Uni and Ikura Roast Beef: A must-try for roast beef lovers! Huge portion!- Prosciutto and Mozzarella Caprese: Ordered the regular size, but a half size would be just right for two people!- Truffle Cheese Risotto: Delicious!- Uni Cream Pasta: The rich flavor of uni fills your mouth.【Summary】Great value, perfect for girls' night out or a date! Might be a bit different for men only!笑

It was great that they offered takeout! I tried the black sugar and kinako croissants, 6 for ¥399. The kinako was moist and easy to eat. Although it's not as crispy as a typical croissant, it's delicious as a moist bread.

I stopped by to buy some wine on my way back from Ebisu. I had seen this sweet wine at the Racua store before and decided to purchase it this time. Although the store near the JR ticket gate didn't have it, this store had both bottles in stock, so I got them both. Here is my review of what I bought: Delo Sauternes 2017 (half bottle) - ¥1490 Brandy's Alvada 5 years - ¥2790 Prices listed do not include consumption tax. Delo Sauternes 2017: I was a bit concerned that this Sauternes might have a relatively strong acidity and light flavor due to its reasonable price, but I learned not to judge based on the price. I was very satisfied with the taste, and the accessibility of this wine makes me want to buy it again. Brandy's Alvada 5 years: I usually prefer medium-dry to medium-sweet Madeira wines, and this sweet brandy had a good balance of sweetness and acidity, fitting nicely into my preferred taste zone. Both bottles were quite good. Thank you for the meal! ☆

This is my favorite place in Seijo Ishii, where you can buy bread from one piece in a showcase that stimulates your buying desire to the very corner. I ordered a croissant at the register, and I was surprised that it was only 100 yen, which is rare these days. As soon as I tried one, I was impressed by how delicious it was! It's already delicious as it is, but if you lightly toast it, the butter aroma becomes stronger and the crispy texture increases, making it even more delicious. This size and moistness are perfect for making sandwiches. I won't buy from anywhere else. I won't cheat either.

I went shopping in Ebisu and discovered a new building at Atre Ebisu. As soon as you enter from the 3rd floor concourse, you'll find Seijo Ishii. They sell bread at the entrance in a face-to-face manner. I was surprised at how cheap the bread was. A regular-sized croissant is 100 yen, and a chocolate bread is 150 yen. They also sell petit-sized croissants for 70 yen, and Danish pastries at a very reasonable price. Seijo Ishii is known as a high-end supermarket, so I was expecting the bread to be quite expensive, even in a bag. I bought a croissant for 100 yen and a chocolate bread. When I told the staff at the counter, they gave me a number tag, and I paid at the store's register. The bread I received was even bigger than what I saw in the showcase. These breads can also be eaten at the nearby Le Boulanger Lavan Sancandou Azabu Tokyo from 8:00 to 10:30 in the morning. This is good information to know. When I got home and ate the bread, it was a bit drier compared to a bakery croissant, but considering the price, it was still delicious. I would definitely want to buy these breads again.

Ebisu Atre Nishi-kan 4F, shopping spree part 3...Seijo Ishii's first supermarket and dining combo store. If you find an interesting ingredient at the supermarket, you can learn cooking methods at the adjacent wine bar "Le Bar a Vin 52" or purchase the wine you like at the supermarket. The store entrance also features Seijo Ishii's first sandwich and bread counter! Located in front of "Le Grenier a Pain," it's really intriguing to see how well these breads sell! The selection of organic products is also eye-catching, with a wide variety of granola, superfoods, dried fruits, nuts, honey, and imported chocolates! I love coffee, but it keeps me awake at night, so I opt for high-cacao bitter chocolate instead! ViVANI Organic Extra Bitter Chocolate 92% uses only three organic ingredients: organic cocoa mass, organic cocoa butter, and organic coconut sugar from Germany. It melts smoothly and has a unique chocolate smoothness, cocoa bitterness, and a hint of sweetness from coconut sugar. Lindt Excellence Dark Noir 99% is the ultimate 99% cocoa I wanted to try! It's very dark and rich in fat, with a strong wild and intense bitterness. It's not as sweet as ViVANI 92%, but surprisingly enjoyable. It's quite a niche chocolate, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. Seijo Ishii at Ebisu Atre Nishi-kan 4F offers a high level of personalization with features like coffee beans and nut dispensers, making it a highly interesting store for those with similar tastes. It may have turned more into a chocolate review than a Seijo Ishii review, but the store is fascinating if your preferences align!

Ebisu Atre's West Building has been open for a few months now. I have been buying wine and ham occasionally, but this time I couldn't resist the tempting display of breads and decided to get a takeout lunch. I ordered a croissant and a roast beef sandwich, hoping that at least the sandwich would be good. You can place orders without entering the store, but I went inside to pay. It was a bit confusing because the person who took my order and the person at the cashier were different, so it took a while to figure out what I had ordered. Unfortunately, the roast beef sandwich that looked so delicious turned out to be disappointing - the bread was dry and the sandwich itself lacked flavor. I realized that this place is better for simple takeout items, but I might check out the bar next door.

When I went to Le Grenier à Pain, I noticed the sandwiches at Seijo Ishii on the same floor and they looked delicious! This time, I went from JR Ebisu Station East Exit using the connecting passage. When you exit the East Exit and go left, you will see Atre Nishikan, so follow the signs and enter the West Building, where Seijo Ishii is located immediately on the left. It's on the 4th floor of the West Building. It's more convenient to go from the East Exit than the West Exit because there are no escalators going up and down. The sandwiches displayed in the showcase are produced by Le Bar a Vin 52 AZABU TOKYO Atre Ebisu West Building store. The bread and roast beef are homemade by Seijo Ishii, and Le Bar a Vin 52 produces them in the store. When you order at the counter, you are given a number tag and you pay at the register inside in exchange for your items. There are also drinks available, priced at ¥150 including tax, which is reasonable. If you get a set with a sandwich, all drinks are ¥100. However, I couldn't find an eat-in corner. When I checked their website, it said that from 8:00 to 10:30, you can use Le Bar a Vin 52 as an eat-in corner. The sandwiches include 3 baguette or roll sandwiches and 1 croissant sandwich. They also have fermented butter croissants, pies, pain au chocolat, ciabatta, and more. The sandwiches displayed in the store are in transparent bags, but when you take them out, the bread is packed separately to prevent them from getting crushed. They even come with a cold pack, which is typical of Seijo Ishii. Here's what I purchased (prices are excluding tax): - Seijo Ishii Homemade Roast Beef Sandwich ¥499: I thought it was a baguette sandwich, but it turned out to be a solid roll sandwich. It's a large size that almost spills over a 16cm plate. It's quite filling, and the bread had a slightly dry texture, maybe because I ate it the next day. Overall, it had a chewy texture. The roast beef was tender, and the simple seasoning with grain mustard, pickles, lettuce, and black pepper complemented the meat well. The pop-up mentioned a homemade sauce without chemical seasonings, but it was a bit subtle. - French Camembert Cheese and Milano Salami Sandwich ¥499: I hesitated between this and the Spanish Foie Gras and Domestic Pork Pate Countryside Paris Sandwich, but I chose this one for my husband who loves salami. The Camembert cheese and salami are rich and salty, but the carrot rapé adds a nice acidity. The pickles and almond slices were also nice accents. - Pain aux Raisins ¥150: I decided to try a sweet bread for a change, and it was a good choice. It's made with French wheat and fermented butter. The buttery flavor in this fluffy bread was delightful. The sweetness comes from the raisins, so even those who don't like sweet things should be okay with it. I polished it off in no time! The sandwiches are large in size and packed with fillings. The price is reasonable for what you get. However, the timing of when I ate might have been off because the bread had a slight issue. Overall, I thought it was solid and didn't disappoint. Even though Le Grenier à Pain is right in front of it, in terms of price, I recommend Seijo Ishii!

There is a new bakery at the west wing of Atre called Seijo Ishii. You can buy pastries one by one at the counter. And the best part is, a regular size croissant is only 100 yen each! In a time where high-end bakeries are everywhere, this is a great deal! I bought a regular size croissant, an apple pie for 150 yen, and three flavored mini croissants. When I got home, I tried the chocolate flavored mini croissant first. It was okay. The rest will be for breakfast tomorrow. The apple pie's filling was a bit lacking, to be honest. But when I lightly toasted the croissant and had a bite, it was simply delicious! Lately, I've been eating only expensive croissants, so it was nice to have something affordable and tasty for a change.

A bakery located on the 4th floor of Atre Ebisu Nishi-kan. Next to the slightly smaller Seijo Ishii is a bakery corner and a spacious restaurant called "LeBaraVin52". The menu item that caught my eye was the croissant made with fermented butter for 108 yen. I used it for takeout on a late lunch on a holiday. I bought bread for the next morning on my way back from Ebisu for errands. Pain au Chocolat for 129 yen (tax included). When sold as a set at the Seijo Ishii supermarket, the bread feels expensive. But when sold individually, it somehow feels cheaper, so I bought two and took them home. The next morning, I reheated them in the oven toaster, and the outside was crispy, but the inside was quite hollow and somewhat disappointing. It did bring back the freshly baked feeling, but I was a little disappointed. It feels a bit greasy due to the use of fermented butter.

The Atre Ebisu station building has always been there, but I recently discovered that there is a new west building next to it. It's becoming more and more stylish, with cafes, crepe shops, and bistros on each floor of the Atre West building. Even Seijo Ishii, a grocery store, seems to have a slightly different product lineup and concept compared to other stores. They had a self-serve section for nuts, including walnuts, almonds, and pecans. They also sold raw chocolate. I bought some kale chips because they caught my eye. Kale is a leafy green used in green juices. The Rhythm Superfoods organic kale chips in Bombay curry flavor were not spicy despite the chili pepper illustration on the package. It had a lot of spices, making it spicy but not hot. The sunflower seeds and sesame paste gave it a rich taste. I also tried the Inspiral kale chips in Incan BBQ flavor, which had cashews and flax seeds for richness. It was different from typical BBQ-flavored chips, with a strong garlic powder taste. I preferred this flavor because I like cashews and garlic. I wish they were a bit crunchier. Both chips were a mix of junk food and healthy snacks. Hopefully, Seijo Ishii doesn't become just another generic grocery store.

I used it for lunch this time. I was unsure of what to get, but I ended up buying a croissant made with fermented butter. The shop operates with a bakery corner where you choose your bread, receive a number tag, and pay at the register. Purchase: Croissant made with fermented butter - 108 yen. The croissant made with fermented butter looks like a traditional croissant. The fact that the bakery section is displayed in a showcase at the storefront is hygienic and convenient. This bakery is located at the Seijo Ishii Atre Ebisu Nishikan store.

There is a Seijo Ishii store near the passage connecting the main building and the west building. It's not too small, and they have better options than a convenience store, so it's convenient! I got hooked on their chocolates and now I always buy them to eat during my break time. Sugar is the brain's energy, so it can't be helped, right? I also often buy bento boxes and side dishes here. The staff is also very kind!

Camembert cheese and Milano salami... I love both fillings ♡ A sandwich with these ingredients is definitely delicious!
