Shibuya Cheese Stand

If you love cheese, then Shibuya Cheese Stand is a must visit spot for lunch or dinner.  I recently stopped in for a solo lunch since a friend had told me how good it was.  I trained from Akishima station to Shibuya station (Hachiko exit) and walked about 15 minutes using google maps to the restaurant.  I arrived right before opening and stood in a short line.  They opened 15 minutes late after the cheese arrived on a refrigerator bike.  At least you know it is fresh!  I decided to order one of the cheese plates (fresh tomato, Burrata, oregano, and dill) and the mozzarella, tomato, basil and arugula sandwich.  It was a little more than I could eat alone but I wanted to try at least two cheeses.  The cheese plate was beautiful with a Buratta cheese bow.  The majority of the Burrata was super soft but the bow was a little firmer.  The tomatoes were really fresh and paired well with the the oil and herbs.  I also really enjoyed the sandwich.  The cheese plate was a little pricey at ¥1680 but the sandwich was only ¥500.  The lunch menu also included pizza and dessert. Bring yen as they did not take credit card.  Definitely a spot I will recommend to friends!  – Angela Vaillant, October 2018
