If you’re visiting Japan, don’t miss out on trying the famous egg sandwich, known locally as “tamago sando.” It’s gaining popularity among international visitors, and for good reason!
What makes the Japanese egg sandwich so special? First, the eggs used in these sandwiches are fresh, it’s common to eat them raw. The eggs are whipped into a creamy mixture and packed generously between two slices of incredibly soft, fluffy bread. Each bite is melt-in-your-mouth perfection!
And here’s the best part—it’s super affordable! You can find these delicious sandwiches for around ¥300, making them a quick and budget-friendly meal or snack.
You can find tamago sando at any convenience store in Japan—7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Lawson—you name it! They’re also available at airport shops, so you can grab one on your way out of the country.
Note: The sandwich in the photo is from 7-Eleven.
