Buy Me Stand, a grilled sandwich shop started by the hip Shibuya fashion brand Son of the Cheese, opened inside Ropponmatsu 421 last September. This retro chic cafe offers nine kinds of cheese-filled NY-style sandwiches, each with uniquely branded names like Apple Cheeks (pork rib, apple & camembert), Blue Monday (sliced beef, blue cheese & orange) and Hella Green (avocado, spinach, basil & cheese). If you want something lighter, try the Buy Me—the shop’s own take on the Vietnamese banh mi. All sandwiches come with your choice of coffee, black tea or club soda.
