Popular Drinkable Fluffy French Toast
In the bustling Marunouchi district of Tokyo, there exists a cafe that has taken social media by storm with its innovative creation: the drinkable fluffy French toast, affectionately dubbed on platforms as '飲めるふわトロフレンチトースト'. This highly popular item is brought to you by THE FRONT ROOM, located on the first floor of Marunouchi Marubiru, a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
A Trend Worth Tasting
Since its opening in September 2022, THE FRONT ROOM has sold over 180,000 servings of this delightful dish, with some days seeing the cafe serve over 350 plates. The drinks-turned-food concept has captivated not just taste buds, but also hearts, with lines forming consistently outside the establishment. This fluffy French toast is recognized for its incredible texture, achieved through a special recipe that involves marinating thick slices of brioche bread in a homemade egg mixture for an impressive 12 hours.
The Craft Behind the Toast
The secret lies in the meticulous preparation of the French toast. The dough for this dish is made specially for the cafe, cut into 5 cm thick slices. After ensuring that each slice absorbs the rich egg mixture thoroughly, they are grilled to create a beautiful crust and then finished off in an oven. This process results in the melt-in-your-mouth texture that patrons have come to adore, giving the sensation of almost drinking the French toast itself.
Seasonal Delights: Mango Passion Sauce
To elevate the experience even further, THE FRONT ROOM is excited to announce the return of its seasonal Mango Passion Sauce. This year, the sauce delivers a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, with chunks of mango adding a refreshing twist. Diners can enjoy this special sauce in conjunction with their favorite whipped butter and maple syrup options, perfect for reviving a summertime mood.
Bring the Cafe Experience Home
For those who wish to savor the taste of THE FRONT ROOM from the comfort of their home, the cafe has partnered with HUGE, the parent company with a strong presence across Japan, to create an online shop called HUGEst. Customers can now purchase their beloved drinkable fluffy French toast set, complete with the much-anticipated Mango Passion Sauce.

Easy Cooking Instructions
Preparing the dish at home is a breeze! Simply allow the frozen French toast to thaw for 1-2 hours, then heat in a microwave for 2 to 2.5 minutes at 500 watts. For a more authentic restaurant experience, one can pan-fry with butter for about a minute on each side to achieve that crispy finish. Partner with the luscious whipped butter for melting sweetness, and enjoy your own dish that mirrors the cafe's craftsmanship.
