DEENEY’S is a cool little food truck in Shibuya serving 6 different types of high quality grilled cheese, called toasties. If you’re looking for a grilled cheese in Tokyo, this is the first place I ever saw or heard of serving one.

What is a toastie?

“Toastie” is what grilled cheese is called in Scotland, which fits with “Scottish flavour” being part of the name. You’re also not getting plain white bread with a slice of cheese here. These are filled with toppings.

DEENEY’S is actually the Japan location (flagship store) of the original DEENEY’S in Scotland, so the Scottish toasties here are the real thing.

The Macbeth: a haggis toastie in Tokyo

The most famous toastie here is the Macbeth, which has haggis in it. Haggis is a pudding sausage type of thing, and it’s supposedly extremely Scottish. Since it’s their most popular item, it makes sense that they put “Scottish flavour” in their name.

This was my first time trying haggis and I didn’t know what to expect. It had a similar taste and texture to the stuffing you’d have at Thanksgiving (hopefully I don’t offend any Scottish people).

Fun fact: haggis has been banned in the US since 1971. Supposedly it is because animal lungs cannot be used in food. It doesn’t apply in Japan, though, so if you were born in 1971 and have been dying to try it, coming to Japan will let you do just that.

What I ordered

I got two toasties:

The Macbeth: haggis, cheddar cheese, caramelized onion, mustard, and “rocket,” which turned out to be arugula lol.
The Hamish: caramelized onion, cheddar cheese, bacon, and rocket.

Both were crisped to perfection and clearly cooked on a panini press, because they had a very good crunch. There was a ton of cheese, it tasted good, and all the ingredients inside went together well. It definitely topped any grilled cheese I’ve ever made, and probably any I will make. A few of the other toasties have a bit of spice to them, which I think would be good too.

I usually am a bacon in my grilled cheese kind of guy, so I thought I would like it more but it was actually the haggis that surprisingly topped it.

Is a ¥1,500 grilled cheese worth it?

I’d heard the price was too expensive, and I can see that being fair when you’re paying 1,500 yen for a grilled cheese. But think about how hard it is to find good tasting cheddar cheese in Japan. This was also the first place I saw serving grilled cheese at all, so I was gladly willing to pay it.

Wait times and lines

It was a one-man operation when I went, so it took a little while for the food to come out, but we didn’t have to line up to order. I’d read that you have to line up a ton, but I went right when it opened on a Saturday and only one other group showed up, a few minutes after me. If you do the same, you should be fine.

Location: a quiet food truck spot in Shibuya

The food truck is down a little pathway with a few other food trucks, and there are small tables set up like a communal space. I don’t think it’s permanent, but when I went earlier this year it looked like they’d set up shop there for a while. Maybe down the road they’ll open a store officially.

It sits between Shibuya and Harajuku, but in a quiet residential area, so if you want to avoid the crowds, it’s a good place to eat. The shop currently says it’s temporarily closed, but I imagine it’s seasonal and will open again soon. [ADD: check their Instagram for current status before you publish]
