The other day, I introduced the first cafeteria of Rikkyo University, but there are places other than this cafeteria that offer delicious menus. "Restaurant Ivy" is located on the first basement floor of Building No. 5, opposite Rikkyo Dori from the main gate.


While the cafeteria-like menu such as pasta and ramen is offered, what you should pay attention to is the bakery "BUON PASTO" in the back. Various types of freshly baked bread are on sale.





The writer visited the store soon after it opened, so there are still few breads lined up. Various products are sold around noon and are very popular with students.



I bought the staff's recommended "tea melon bread (130 yen including tax)" and "stick donut (120 yen including tax)" fresh cream flavor.


Black tea melon bread is a melon bread covered with bis dough kneaded with Darjeeling tea. One is big and has a voluminous feel.


When you divide it in half, you can see the fluffy dough from the inside! The crispy dough with black tea scent is combined with the chewy and fluffy dough. It's a great deal to buy this bread for 130 yen.



Stick donuts are a dish that you can enjoy a crispy texture. It's the perfect size when you're hungry, and it seems to come in handy when you say, "I can't eat a piece of bread, but I'd like to have something to eat."



Freshly baked bread that can be eaten at "BUON PASTO" at "Restaurant Ivy" in Rikkyo University. In addition, the products sold differ depending on the season.
