Hiroshi,
We use the "y" to indicate a long "a" sound such as in our word "play". Separately the"y" is not pronounced. If we were to use just an "e" to indicate the sound, most Americans and perhaps most speakers of English, would either pronounce it like "feet" or "pet," both of which would be incorrect for Buffet.
