Among them, the Shibuya bread shop "Brasserie VIRON" is a popular breakfast shop where you can line up.
The author has visited the store twice and abandoned the store twice in front of the line. However, one rainy morning, he succeeded in entering the store by rushing in with the opening. I have searched for the secret of popular morning!
■ Brasserie Viron Shibuya
Brasserie Viron is about a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station, and goes straight on the right side of Bunkamura Street. The red wall is a landmark.
Bread and cakes are sold on the first floor of the store. The second floor is the restaurant floor.
Immediately after the opening (9 o'clock) on this day, the weather was rainy, so I was able to enter smoothly, but around 10 o'clock when I left the store, several customers were waiting in line despite weekdays. It was lined up in.
■ Order a morning set
Viron's breakfast time is from 9am to 11am. In addition to the morning set (1,500 yen plus tax), you can also eat bread purchased at the bakery in the cafe space on weekdays.
Of course, it is a morning set to order. The set includes two types of simple meal bread "Cereal" and "Bucket Retro Doll", as well as two Viennoiserie (general name for sweet buns), coffee or tea to choose from. Six types of jam, honey, and one type of chocolate cream that you can add as much as you like will be brought to your seat along with the bottle .
For Viennoiserie, choose from the baskets that the clerk will bring to your seat. This time, we chose the popular "Pain au Chocolat" and "Shoson O Pom (Apple Pie)". In addition, croissants are also popular.
Coffee is free of charge. Tea is served in the pot.
■ Eat the morning set!
◆ Cereal
Cereal served in a slightly warm state. The dough has a moist and chewy texture, and sesame and other cereals are mixed in.
Simply use honey to take advantage of the bubble wrap texture of the cereal. This is a great match! The gaps in the dough are filled with honey, and each bite has a rich sweetness. The chewy texture is further enhanced.
I also applied hazelnut paste.
This is also delicious! The fragrant and rich sweetness is irresistible in the texture with a crisp and fine grain. The more you are scared of the situation where you can apply as much as you like, the more delicious it becomes.
◆ Baguette Retro Doll
The fabric is not so fluffy, but rather close to your eyes. The crispy and fragrant skin is firm and you can feel the flavor of wheat firmly. This was also served in a warm state.
I will try jam.
Orange Marmalade has a good balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness, and has a juicy taste.
Cassis has a unique sweet and sour taste and a tightly concentrated richness. When combined with hazelnut paste, it adds creaminess and makes it even richer.
Rhubarb is a jam flavor that is popular in Europe and the United States. Is it crispy because it is a plant stem? I thought, it was mellow and almost no chewy. There is no peculiarity, and it has a slightly sour taste and a familiar sweetness.
Jam is often eaten with soft bread, but it goes well with baguettes. Every time you chew a hard baguette, the jam will permeate and you can enjoy the texture and taste that gradually changes. There are many types, so it may be fun to combine them to find your favorite taste.
◆ 2 types of Viennoiserie (Pain au Chocolat & Apple Pie)
Pain au chocolat is often flat, but this one has a colon and a round shape.
When you pass through the crisp surface, you will find a soft dough that contains plenty of air. By chewing, the dough is crushed and the aroma of butter overflows from the inside.
Of particular note is the smoothness of the chocolate. It fits as if it were integrated with the tongue, and you can enjoy a rich taste with bitterness. It's delicious enough as it is, but you may be able to change the taste by adding jam if you like.
I couldn't eat the apple pie, so I asked him to wrap it for takeaway.
When you squeeze a layer of crispy puff pastry, you will find a juicy apple filling that overflows from the inside. It has a scent of cinnamon.
Although the apples are cut to a large size, the texture is soft and mellow. The sweetness is modest and the balance with the dough is exquisite. You can enjoy the taste of the flesh itself, which is a bit different from jam.
■ Summary
1,500 yen is expensive for breakfast, but what you can enjoy here is just "luxury" itself. Delicious bread, colorful jams, and warm coffee that is poured without interruption. I was able to spend time as if my entire body was immersed in "luxury". It may be the morning of VIRON that goes "because I want luxury" rather than "because I don't have time" or "because it is troublesome to make".
