Sweet dreams are made of cheese at this all-you-can-eat cheese and doria restaurant

As of July 21, it has four restaurants that offer an all-you-can-eat cheese buffet for 70 minutes in Osaka, Okayama, Tokyo, and Fukuoka prefectures. One of those four and the one closest to our editorial office is Cheese & Doria Sweets in Tokyo’s upscale Jiyugaoka district.

Naturally, the only way we could satisfy our curiosity was to pay it a visit. While the all-you-can-eat cheese agreement can be paired with a main dish like doria for an additional 550 yen … …it can in addition be ordered on its own in two versions: the volume salad set (1,199 yen) or the all-you-can-drink wine set (1,639 yen). The former comes with your choice of one of three salads (grilled chicken colorful salad, bacon. Džiugas cheese caesar salad, ham and mozzarella cheese salad) and the latter with your choice of red or white wines.

The biggest moment of anticipation was when we finally made our way over to the cheese corner, where eight different cheeses were laid out in a glorious spread. Pictured below, clockwise from the right, are: cottage cheese, dried fruits cream cheese, walnut mascarpone, basil cream cheese, and cheddar cheese (in the center). Continuing clockwise from the right are ricotta cheese, smoked cheese, and caramel mascarpone.

Our first bite also told us that we didn’t have to worry about the taste–it lived up to the visuals. We were impressed because the bread was also high quality and made a wonderful accompaniment for the cheese.

The salad was delicious on its own, but we recommend adding some of the cheese to it as well. After testing several combinations, we found that the cottage cheese, basil cream cheese, and smoked cheese paired the best with it.

It was a very satisfying amount of ruffage with flavorful toppings that didn’t make us feel guilty about polishing off the whole bowl in no time at all. We wanted to try experimenting with some additional toppings, so we in addition grabbed some of the blueberry sauce, honey, and olive oil that were for the taking.

Among the combos, the dried fruits cream cheese paired with honey was a standout. We wanted to make sure to get to the dessert cheeses before leaving so we pulled ourselves away from the honey cream cheese combo and turned to the sweetest offerings. This is a good time to share that the dessert cheese actually changes daily from one of six different offerings: granola cheese, blueberry yogurt cheese, satsumaimo (Japanese sweet potato) cream cheese, strawberry mascarpone, tiramisu-style cheese cream, and of course, the caramel mascarpone.

They were all intriguing enough that it made us want to return in the future to sample them all. All in all, binging on cheese was a fantastic way to spend a little over an hour on this day.
