So, silly question, is 'breakfast set' what you ask for, or is there a Japanese word for it (and if so, could someone write in Latin alphabet so I can read it?)
Due to the consonant and vowel structure of all but one sound in Japanese, "Set" would be, if at breakfast or lunch and there is a set offered it will simply be "Seh-toh" or if there are two, likely "Seh-toh ay" or "seh-toh bee".

You will get used to it quickly but the salad at breakfast will be forever weird.
