japanese sandwiches

Sandwich (サンドイッチ) or sando (サンド) is a type of food consisting of two pieces of bread between which ham, cheese, meat and any other ingredient of your choice are placed. The Japanese have a wonderful way of doing this, they manage to transform this foreign food for the Japanese palate, making sandwiches that we never imagined.

Japanese bread is most often white, incredibly soft, and without crusts. The coverage and combinations of ingredients found in Japanese sandwiches range from the simplest to the most exotic.

In Japan we have a variety of sandwiches that are sold in restaurants, and big chains like Subway, Quiznos, McDonald's. In addition several konbini (convenience stores) usually sell ready-made sandwiches in plastic packaging. In addition to the traditional sandwiches that we know of ham, egg, mozzarella, hamburger and tuna, there are several other different flavors that we will analyze below:
