This branch offers both their famous cheese cookies and the most delicious soft-serve ice cream. They have two flavors: cheese and milk. The cheese variety was amazing—salty, cheesy, creamy, and sweet.





ルミネ新宿1の地下フードフロアにあるクリエイティブなスイーツカウンター。塩とカマンベールのクッキーが名物。
Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory at Lumine 1 Shinjuku is a creative sweets counter on the basement food floor of the Lumine 1 building, directly connected to JR Shinjuku Station's south exit. The brand was conceived as a workshop that experiments with new ingredient combinations, and this branch is one of the chain's central Tokyo flagships, sitting alongside other confectionery counters in the Lumine sweets zone. The signature products include the salt and camembert cookie, which pairs Hokkaido salt with camembert cheese, alongside cheesecakes, cream puffs and the CowCowIce soft serve that is exclusive to the Lumine Shinjuku location. Beautifully packaged souvenir boxes make it a popular stop for travellers heading home from Shinjuku, and the counter rotates seasonal flavours tied to Japanese events such as cherry blossom season and autumn chestnut festivals. Opening hours are 10:00 to 21:00, matching the Lumine food hall schedule, and the shop sits only about 150 metres from the JR Shinjuku south ticket gates. Queues are common during the late afternoon and on weekends, so an early afternoon visit usually means a quicker transaction and access to items that can sell out by evening.
