Perfect for morning activities! CITRON opens at 8:00 a.m.
CITRON is a rare Minami Aoyama restaurant that is open from 8 am.
While there are only a limited number of places to eat breakfast in the Omotesando and Gaienmae area, CITRON has a full-fledged morning menu.
Morning Set
The morning set includes freshly baked bread and freshly squeezed orange juice.
I often order the morning set (1,690 yen), which includes bread, soup, salad, and orange juice.
The orange juice in particular is superb, with a freshness that makes it seem as if it was squeezed right in front of you. The bread is also savory, making you feel happy from the morning.
