Available from 5PM daily at Ginza’s Starbucks Reserve Roastery Marronnier-dori branch, the all-you-can-eat deal is an outlet-exclusive buffet that has no time limit. There’s no catch – customers are free to stuff their faces silly until the store’s closing time at 10PM.

Recently reopened in February 2022, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Ginza houses Apericena, an Italian restaurant that specialises in aperitifs – alcoholic drinks taken before a meal – and hearty suppers.

Besides indulging in a wide selection of Italian food, guests can also choose one beverage from a list of beers, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy with their food.

Although Starbucks Reserve Roastery Ginza changes the buffet menu regularly, you can look forward to a huge range of cheese, cold deli, artisanal bread, and classic Italian dishes such as arancini and lasagna.
However, due to the pandemic, customers are not allowed to help themselves to the food – the staff will fill up the plates as requested instead.

Each visit will set you back ¥3,080 (~USD24.05) per head. Considering the upscale location and range of food items available, it’s not a bad deal at all.
