Do you know "Yupoto", one of the landmarks of Gotanda? It is a symbolic communication space in the area with restaurants, fitness gyms and concert halls. Opened in 1982 and loved by people for over 30 years, this Yupoto will close on September 30th ...

En-eating editorial department with an office in Gotanda. When I think about it a few years ago, when I decided to join the editorial department, the meal I had my senior staff take me for the first time was a lunch buffet with Yupo. It's really shocking that it's gone.

So, this time, in honor of Yupoto who was very helpful, I would like to introduce the lunch buffet of "Mercherier" on the 1st floor, which has filled the stomachs of many people for many years. How about once before it disappears?

After passing through the automatic door on the 1st floor, Mercerie is right in front of you. The spacious hall with 180 seats has a warm atmosphere like a traditional banquet hall. Even when I visit the store for the first time, I feel a sense of security.

The fee is prepaid. First, pay at the entrance. Lunch buffet (weekdays) is 1,200 yen including tax. Holiday buffet is available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and the price is 1,650 yen including tax.

Lunch buffet is served from 11:00 to 14:15. There is no time limit, so you can enjoy your meal at your own pace until 14:15 when the dishes are lowered. By the way, it seems that you can stay in your seat until 15:00.

A variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes are lined up on the table in the center of the hall. There are more than 20 types including desserts such as cakes. There is also a salad bar, bread platter, and drinks such as tea and coffee, and of course you can eat and drink as much as you want.

The side dishes for this day were pumpkin gratin, hydrangea meuniere, pork shabu-shabu, fried white fish and tempura, chicken simmered in tomatoes, and so on. In addition to rice, the carbohydrate lineup also offered cream pasta, two types of curry, pizza, and takoyaki.

Hot gratin with hook-hoku pumpkin and mellow cheese, moist and sweet milk-flavored roll bread, omelet rice with sweet and sour ketchup that stimulates the childhood of adults, creamy and moist potatoes with slightly sweet mayonnaise Seasoned potato salad (this is recommended).

No matter what, it's a seasoning that you can't help but feel nostalgic. It's like the omelet rice that my mom made for lunch on Saturday when I was a kid ... like the simmered chicken that came out at my grandma's house during the summer vacation. It's not eccentric or complicated, but it has a classic taste that makes you feel relaxed and stable. You can see why it is loved by men and women of all ages.

You can enjoy lunch buffet at Yupoto until September 30th, just before the museum closes. It's too late to notice the size of its existence after it disappears. Not only those who used Yupoto often, but also those who have never experienced Yupoto, why don't you visit to make the last memories with Yupoto? Would you like to decorate the endless beauty of Yupoto together?
