Sandwiches are delicious and esthetic, each is packed in a nice paper and black bag. We picked with premium beef, eel and shrimps. In the shrimps sandwich the bread was soft, another two - toasted. The queue was not too long, just few people, but it took about 10-15 minutes to order. Then the Chef informs how long it would take to cook it, for us it was 35 minutes. The price is a bit high and they accept only cash. So you should not be too hungry, when you want to try these sandwiches :)

A sando stall that operates late into the night. Although the wait can stretch from 30 minutes to an hour, the moment passes by quickly as you can just order, walk around and collect at a later timing. I ordered three different sandos: Pork Salt Cutlet, Beef Salt Cutlet, and the standout Egg Cutlet.

All the sandwich were served served in soft, fluffy white bread and a topping which is battered with bread crumbs and deep-fried. Both the Pork and Beef Cutlets had perfectly cooked meat and each bite was a savoury delight. However, the real show stopper was the Egg Cutlet. This creation had me in awe with its combination of gooey scrambled egg enveloped in a crispy exterior. I still can't quite fathom how they are able to deep-fry scramble eggs. It was a magnificent blend of textures: a crunchy shell that gave way to rich, eggy goodness. It was, without a doubt, the star of the meal and exceeded all my expectations.

Although it might be a little pricey, I would still come again to satisfy my late-night indulgence.

Did the soup nazi turn Japanese?

Just finished off 5 of the 6 pieces of the Prime Beef 🥩 Filet sando for 2900 yen 💴.

So…

After waiting another day because the day before (Monday), they closed with not much notice.  A handful of people came at the same exact time to be surprised.

Since it’s my last night and felt the pressure to eat as much as I could today, I headed over around 9:30p and waited shortly to order.  It was surprisingly quiet with not many people - just the guy before me.

After I get to the ordering window, the owner (I believe) starts talking to me in Japanese in a tone that wasn’t the friendliest.  I respond that I can’t speak English and he retorts “1 hour!” which confused me - I thought he was initially referring to getting a seat in some hidden back part of the restaurant.  He repeated something about the hour and I asked him “So, if I order, do I come back in an hour?!”  He confirmed that was the process.  I point to the most expensive sandwich on the menu: “Prime Beef 🥩 Filet” and give him my credit card. 💳 For the first time on the trip, I was told I can ONLY use cash and weirdly Alipay as well.  He obviously has a lot of Chinese customers.

I wanted to keep my yen 💴, but reluctantly gave up the 2900 yen.  Yes, I just paid as much as $25 or so dollars 💸 for the sandwich.  🥪 Later, I realized that more and more, things are getting this expensive even back home.  So, even though it was VERY expensive by Japanese standards, it was about par for the west.  And you could easily spend that much for donkatsu or definitely 3 - 5 times more for teppanyaki or shabu shabu in Ginza.  So, maybe it’s not bad.

I got back to my hotel about 15 mins away and wait 30 mins to come back in an hour.

After I get back, the soup nazi like owner isn’t there, but maybe it’s the daughter or a young girl who seems just as unhappy.  Also, there’s a lot more people there this time.  Normally, I’m able to walk up and get my order, but since the shop is so tiny, I have to wait behind a couple that needs to put in their order after the young girl finally serves them.  She makes them wait for a bit as well as me since I was waiting to just pick up.  So, as soon as they leave, I almost run in to make sure she doesn’t go back to frying or making the orders and asks for my name in probably the rudest way (minus the Shibuya Yokocho) I’ve been tested on this trip.  After I tell her my name, she points to the filet on the menu and I confirm and she hands me my package.

I walk home and think to myself that the store might reduce chances for repeat customers given the time it takes to finally sink our teethes into these because of the time for preparation, the wait time for us to get there and the time it takes to get back.

Yet…it turns out the sandos are good and worth a try.  If I’m close to Ginza late at night again, I may go through the hassle and attitude again - if he’s still open.

Came here to grab a bite based on reviews. The place is a hole in the wall without any seating options. You stop by their window to order and come back to pick it up in a hour. We got 3 different options, the beef was great while the egg and pork came out a bit salty. Overall, I would say average sandwich value. There are much better food options in Ginza.

Not too sure what’s the hype about it. We ate the beef cutlet sando, it was mediocre, nothing impressive. In fact, it was quite disappointing given that it cost 2,900 yen. I could have eaten a decent meal in a restaurant. Furthermore, we ordered the fried chicken, totally disappointing - one of the chicken was uncooked inside. There’s too much chicken fats, not to my friend’s and my liking.
