The platter included ciabatta, green tea dough with yuzu, raisins, dried tomatoes, olives, croissants, and more. All of them are sliced, but it is very difficult to get all of them. If you want to try more varieties, pick a smaller cut or share with a companion.

As expected from Maison Kaiser, the dough is delicious even without any dipping sauce. The best item is the "Rezan Noah," a hard bread with walnuts and raisins kneaded into it. The juicy raisins and savory walnuts go well with the wheat flavor!

Good balance of firm skin and fluffy inside.

And then there's the croissant...if you think 1/2 is too big, you're missing out! The delicate texture and mouth-watering texture stand out even though it has only been baked for a short time. It is now drinkable.

Croissants are a must.

The choice of clam chowder was also a great decision. It's not too filling, and you can change it up by serving it with bread. The soup itself is delicious with a variety of vegetables, including bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant.

The rich flavor of this stuffed bread could be called the king of sweet breads. The deep sweetness of the almond cream and the buttery flavor of the croissant spread out, making it as delicious as a cake. Although it is an extra charge, we recommend adding coffee (300 yen for a lunch order) to your meal if possible.
