Hello, this is Aya.
This time, I went to breakfast at the Japanese buffet Tohoku Ranch in Fuchu City, Tokyo.
This restaurant is located on the first floor of Hotel Continental Fuchu, where you can enjoy a Japanese buffet using fresh ingredients directly shipped from their farm. You can enjoy unlimited breakfast from 7:00 to 9:30 in the morning.
The price is 1980 yen/$14USD per adult (tax included), and reservations are not required.
Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing that catches the eye is the buffet table with over 40 different dishes.
While the main focus is on Japanese cuisine, there is also a wide selection of Western dishes and desserts, making it hard to decide which to choose.
Specialty “Ao-dama” and how to enjoy it
One of Tohoku Ranch’s specialties is a light blue raw egg called “Ao-tama.
Ao-dama” is the equivalent of 300 yen per egg, and this high quality egg is available for all-you-can-eat.
Ao-tama is especially recommended to be eaten with rice, and its mild and rich flavor will impress you.
Luxurious experience in the live kitchen
The restaurant also has a live kitchen, where French toast and scrambled eggs made with brand eggs are prepared in front of your eyes.
The French toast, in particular, is made with wild grass from the farm kneaded into the baguette.
When eaten with maple syrup, its fluffy and smooth texture combined with the savory taste of the wildflowers makes it an exquisite dish.
Extensive lineup of Japanese food
The Japanese food lineup is also not to be missed.
For example, grilled mackerel with salted malted rice is fatty and has a mild salty taste.
Also available are sweet and juicy dishes such as chicken tsukune and pork sukini.
All of these dishes are made with farm-fresh ingredients, so you can really taste the flavor of the ingredients.
Cold tofu and Chinese rice gruel are also available, and the cold tofu offers the rich flavor of cotton (momen) tofu.
In addition, the chawan-mushi contains plump shrimp and colinky, the skin of which can be eaten whole.
The flavor of the ingredients spreading in the heat is irresistible.
Vegetable side dishes include Moroccan green beans with sesame paste, Dutch stewed eggplant, and stir-fried zucchini and onions with garlic.
All are made with fresh vegetables, giving them a crisp texture and natural sweetness.
How to Enjoy Western Cuisine
In addition to Japanese cuisine, the restaurant also offers a wide variety of Western dishes.
Fried potatoes, sausages, butter chicken curry, and other dishes are offered.
The butter chicken curry, in particular, has an authentic spicy flavor.
You can also choose from white rice, ume/jako rice, or 16-grain rice, all of which go well with curry.
Extensive drink menu
There is also a well-stocked drink corner, where you can enjoy wild herb teas from Tohoku Ranch.
For example, mint & lemon, dandelion tea, sweet potato vine tea, and mulberry leaf tea are available for the health-conscious.
The tea packets can also be served hot, making them a perfect match with Japanese breakfast.
We also have a selection of other classic drinks such as black tea, Japanese tea, iced coffee and apple juice.
You will find a drink to suit any meal.
And to top off your meal, an exquisite dessert awaits you.
The limited-quantity pudding made with brand eggs is a little firm, but has a mild, natural sweetness that will spread in your mouth.
Also available are unusual sweets such as mulberry leaf warabimochi and mulberry leaf jelly.
You can arrange them to your liking by pouring molasses or soybean flour on them.
Close to the station for easy access
This “Japanese Buffet Tohoku Ranch” is located right next to the North Exit of Fuchu Station, making access very convenient.
You can enjoy a sumptuous Japanese breakfast in the morning and prepare for sightseeing or work afterwards.
Breakfast at the Japanese buffet Tohoku Ranch is sure to satisfy both your mind and body.
A variety of dishes made with fresh ingredients directly from their own farm, a sumptuous dish from their live kitchen, and exquisite desserts and drinks will leave you in a state of bliss.
