It's a café located in the underground of Shinjuku Station Building Lumine Est. It's called BEER & CAFE, so you can also drink alcohol, and at night, you can enjoy sausages and ham. They have a wide variety of morning menu sets. The owner himself serves customers. He wears quite unique headgear. (^_^;) He reminded us to wear masks. I ordered the most appealing "Morning DX (670 yen excluding tax)." They also sell rice ball lunch boxes and other items. It's not just bread menu items. For the morning set, you can customize the hardness of the boiled eggs and choose between ham or salami according to your preference. I chose iced coffee, ham, and hard-boiled egg. There was a standing counter, but since a table was available, I chose that. Freshly baked bread and bacon. It's also nice that it comes with potato salad. Actually, everything on this tray is delightful in the morning. The tangy iced coffee was also excellent. Considering the content, it's quite reasonable for breakfast. In the morning, a variety of breakfast options were available to many people from early morning as the breakfast at Japan's largest terminal station. It's a wonderful café in a diverse and vibrant metropolis with a wide variety of choices.

Bone-in ham for 540 yen and beer for 350 yen. Used for a second party. Ordered a limited menu item called bone-in ham. Thick and juicy ham slices were plentiful. Just that alone was very satisfying. Occasionally, it's a shame that only 30 minutes are allowed, but it's a place I'd like to try if I'm nearby.

Actually, it was my first visit. They offer various cost-effective morning plates that attract a steady stream of customers. There is also a wide variety of takeout items available. I look forward to trying craft beer and other alcoholic beverages next time. Thank you for the meal.

After shopping, I decided to have a casual drink before heading home and remembered BERG, a place I've had brunch at before. The menu was overwhelming, so I played it safe and ordered the German set with beer. Initially at a standing table, but moved to a vacant one later. The place was consistently busy with customers. The warm bread and two types of pâté were delicious. The dish size was just right for a beer. The set included ham, salad, and overall, it was a satisfying and cost-effective choice. Quick drink, and I could easily catch a train afterward. This might become a regular spot for me.

I didn't expect Lumine Est to have such a place! I went around 12:00 on a weekday. There were many women standing and drinking, creating a laid-back atmosphere. It's bustling but still easy to find a seat, suggesting good turnover. I tried the Quattro Formaggi brunch set for 750 yen. The sausage was firm, and biting into it released flavorful juices! Delicious. The coffee has a strong taste. The curry is reasonably priced at 550 yen for a single serving!

Pre-drinking meal. Stable, good value for money, and delicious. It's amazing that it's under 1000 yen. Very satisfied. Requiring masks when ordering feels like going against the times. #curry #CurryAsABeverage #curry #berg #TokyoGourmet #ShinjukuGourmet

Ordered an iced tea at Master Morning. It came out quickly! Corn, potato salad, egg, pâté (?), butter, toast. The toast had a crispy texture with a subtle sweetness from the wheat. The potato salad had a distinct potato flavor, and the pâté had a rich meaty taste. Overall, it felt like they put a lot of emphasis on quality ingredients. Surprisingly, the pâté had a mild flavor. Personally, I think the best way to enjoy the toast is to spread butter on it and layer it with potato salad. It's a straightforward and delicious combination. Easy to understand, and it was enjoyable.

I visited a place I've wanted to go to from Shin-Okubo Station to Shinjuku. I arrived after 7:30 AM, and about 80% of the seats were occupied. Of course, they serve morning beer! It's a dream spot for beer lovers. The bread is also delicious. Since the tables were full, I stood at the counter and enjoyed a beer while sandwiching lettuce, cheese, bacon, potato salad, and corn between slices of bread. It was the best breakfast! Thank you for the meal.

At "BERG," a place where you won't get tired of the exterior and interior no matter when you visit, as a reward for working hard all week, you can enjoy authentic draft beer. If you come for breakfast, there's a menu of coffee and toast, making it enjoyable all day long. Similar to Ichiran, there's a designated standing space, packed with salarymen who love beer. Complementing the draft beer is the pâté campagne, with chunks of meat providing a delightful texture. Cheers to a well-deserved treat after a tough week! Thank you for the delicious meal! 🍻

It was my first visit to this place I've always wanted to try as I passed by. Located about a 1-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, the prominent signs display "Morning" and "Beer." Reviews I checked mentioned delicious bread, sausages, and lots of emphasis on beer. Visiting around 11 AM on a weekday, the place was about 70% full. There were standing counter seats and two-person tables. COVID-19 precautions, such as mask-wearing and no loud talking, were still evident. The ordering counter was near the kitchen, giving it a standing soba shop vibe. I ordered the "Hot Dog Brunch" for 605 yen, and it was served within about 3 minutes. I chose hot coffee as my drink. The recommended option for hot dogs was without seasoning, so I ordered it that way. The main hot dog had a satisfying texture when bitten, with a burst of meat juices each time. The bread was perfectly toasted, with a delightful aroma and rich wheat flavor. The recommendation for no seasoning made sense. The sides included half a soft-boiled egg, potato salad, and corn, giving a simple morning feel. Everything was decent but in a comforting way. The soft-boiled egg had a runny yolk, the corn was sweet without any skin residue, and the potato salad, with added lettuce, was moist and had a pronounced mayonnaise flavor. The simplicity of it all felt warm and cozy. The coffee was particularly delicious – refreshing acidity, sweet aroma, a hint of bitterness, and well-balanced. With just bread and coffee, it was already satisfying. Considering the price, it's easy to see why it's popular. The sausage used is a gold award winner from the IFFA Ham & Sausage Contest in Germany. The bread also has its own uniqueness. Enjoying a beer with this sausage must be a great experience. Coming back for just one drink on the way home seems like a good idea. Yes, it's a great place. Thank you for the meal.

Berg, Shinjuku's Oasis: Barrel-Aged Beer Delights Stopping by Berg in Shinjuku after months, it's always a treat to delve into their craft beer offerings. Once known for three taps, this time, they've upped their game with a variety of craft beers on tap, each with its own story and flavor. Their barrel-aged beer selection offers a serendipitous encounter with tradition-backed lineup. Among them, Ox Bow and Bagby Beer stand out. Ox Bow, rooted in farmhouse traditions from Maine, crafts a range of beers using natural yeast and local ingredients. The first sip of their Flora Rustica, a farmhouse ale, bursts with fruity notes and herbal accents, thanks to the natural yeast and added berries. It's a delightful concoction, reminiscent of blossoms in bloom. Switching to Bagby Beer, hailing from San Diego, they pay homage to brewing traditions while offering a diverse range of beers. Their King of Britons Ale lives up to its name with a vibrant golden hue and a fragrant hoppy aroma, balanced with sweet maltiness. Whether sipped slowly or downed quickly, it's a brew that leaves an impression. Paired with their signature liver cheese, Berg never fails to exceed expectations. Each visit brings anticipation for the next delightful surprise during the Shinjuku transit.

Arrived in Shinjuku. Searched for breakfast on Tabelog. Found a Tabelog Top 100 restaurant inside Shinjuku Station. The exterior was lively and fun. Surprisingly, they were selling cute merchandise outside the store. Besides breakfast sets, they also offer curry and hot dogs. I didn't know their specialty was sausages at the time, so I ordered the curry with five-grain rice and ten kinds of vegetables. Maybe I should have tried the hot dog? Apparently, their "Berkdog" has won a gold award. The curry had a noticeable spiciness. It seems the concept of the place is for women to comfortably drink beer alone? I was surprised to see many foreigners. It's a unique place where you can also buy snacks and sausages. It was notable that they asked us to wear masks when ordering. And above all, it's reasonably priced! The curry and coffee set was only 630 yen.

First visit to this café, more like a traditional coffee shop vibe. They mentioned winning a gold award at the IFFA Ham & Sausage Contest in Germany, so the food menu has a German taste. You have to order at the counter. They asked us to wear masks when ordering (^◇^;), and there were acrylic panels inside, giving a strong vibe of the pandemic era (^◇^;). When I said I didn't have a mask, they asked me to order while covering my mouth with a handkerchief. They seem very conscious of COVID-19. I thought it might be better to bring a mask even if you don't wear it (^◇^;). We ordered blended coffee and a Quattro Cheese Dog. The coffee was a bit bitter but delicious. The dog had a warm, crispy bun with a juicy sausage and cheese. Yummy ( *´艸｀)! The menu is extensive, with things like Weisswurst, premium corned beef, and ham that I wanted to try. But it's almost lunchtime, so just the dog for now (^◇^;). It was delicious (^O^). It would be perfect with a beer! Thank you for the meal!

I'd like to stop by here for a quick refreshment. What I had was: - Pork Aspic 572 yen - Draft Beer (using a beer ticket) It's my ultimate combo. The subtle saltiness of the fluffy delicious aspic pairs perfectly with the beer. I noticed the bottled beers on the wall. I think I've had Bear'd Brewing somewhere before... (My memory is so unreliable...) I'll try it next time.

German Set Beer Set 870 yen, Beer 350 yen, Fried Potatoes. A beer bar located underground at Shinjuku Station. The interior is small and a bit cluttered, but it has a very nice atmosphere and a unique space. The 350 yen beer is very satisfying. It's useful for both the first round and the second round.

I don't usually drink beer, but I found myself easily enjoying it here. Despite the small space, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. We had some cheese, and it was delicious, especially the blue cheese. I wonder what kind it was... Next time, I'd like to come for coffee during lunch or even for breakfast.

Having finished my early morning errands and feeling hungry, I searched for a breakfast spot while out and about, but couldn't find anything satisfying. Then I remembered BERG's morning menu at 7:00 a.m. in the underground area of Shinjuku Station's east exit. Surprisingly, it wasn't too crowded; about 70% of the seats were taken. I ordered the Morning Meal (¥460) and a draft beer (¥350). "Would you like coffee?" "Yes, after the beer!" I thought to myself. I stood at the counter, eagerly waiting for the warm toast with butter to melt while taking sips of beer. Good beer always makes me happy. Despite the pandemic, I've been coming here regularly, and they've never disappointed. I topped half of the toast with various toppings, made it into a sandwich, and savored every bite along with sips of beer. It was the perfect breakfast. Now, should I have that coffee? Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Today was a Berg Morning chance. It was my first Berg Morning experience. I had planned to check the menu beforehand and go for the Meister Morning (605) because I wanted to try the paté sausage. Also, the word "Meister" sounded interesting to me (⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)⁠♥ It was a weekday a little past 9 am, and the place was moderately crowded, but I managed to find a seat quickly. Surprisingly, there were quite a few beer enthusiasts already enjoying their morning drinks. Some seemed to be particular about standing while they drank. Every ingredient had its unique touch, making the food delicious. The coffee cups were small and cute. I wonder if the paté is the same as the one in the deli case's Paté de Campagne? If so, the Morning set is quite a good deal. The paté was exceptionally tasty. Also, as a fan of Yokohama Kikuya's lamb balls, I should have tried the lamb ball here too. Until next time.

Visited the well-established "BERG" for the first time. Splurged on the Essen Berg with a beer set (Edelpils) for the first visit (1,320 yen). The lively Pilsner pairs well with liver pate, sauerkraut, and German potatoes. Don't forget your mask or handkerchief when ordering. Thanks for the delicious meal!

Ordered a sausage platter, red wine, and a black and tan (half beer, half stout). The red wine was delicious; this month's selection is from Spain, a NOSTRADA Tempranillo. It's full-bodied, but smooth and easy to drink, especially with ice. At ¥330 per glass, it's a steal compared to the ¥1980 bottle price, which I found online for less than ¥1000. I'll definitely buy one for home. The black and tan was perfect for those who prefer a less sweet, more bitter beer; being a fan of dry tastes, I enjoyed it. There were two types of sausages, with the darker one having a richer flavor. It was fun to taste the difference between them. Pairing them with mustard and savoring each bite was pure happiness. Overall, a light evening drink costing around ¥1500. Thinking of popping into the Spice Factory next door for curry afterward! (^-^)

In Shinjuku, there is a place called "BERG" where you can get a morning set for 390 yen. It's a coffee shop located near the east exit, on the passage to the Marunouchi Line before heading towards the east exit ticket gate for blood donation. The morning set includes toast, soft-boiled egg, potato salad, salad, and coffee. The seating is quite cramped, and there are many customers. The coffee is strong and has a wake-up flavor. Keep in mind that not wearing a mask might get you noticed. At first glance, it may not seem very appealing. However, the set you eat is affordable and provides healthy options, giving a sense of the restaurant's conscientious effort. It's a place that makes you want to come back again.
