Dean & Deluca is a food store and restaurant that started in SoHo area in New York in the United States in 1977. It was started by Giorgio Deluca, a school teacher who turned cheese merchant and Joel Dean, a business manager at a publisher who dreamed of creating a place that would offer customers a sumptuous celebration of food and a venue to experience all of the pleasures that cooking and eating can bring.
Today, Dean & Deluca has branches in different countries. In Japan, they have more than 10 store locations. This simply shows that Japan is a good market for this well-known food emporium.
I was able to visit the Dean & Deluca store at Lumine department store in Tokyo. I love their extensive merchandise and they serve good quality food too. It is a good stopover for a foodie like me.
I was a bit peckish when I went there so I also got myself a nice healthy meal and a hot drink.
