Now my friend PhillipRoberts, Pip, has a rather fetching blog called Mega Sandwich where he reviews sandwich hotspots around the country. He kindly asked me to write something for it and so ever since I have been trying to find sandwiches in Japan.
The Japanese love sandwiches. At the welcome parties they have been holding for us, they always have sandwiches and it is always the first clean plate, but there are no sandwich shops. Japanese food culture here is fantastic, even without the sandwich shops. Generally, well in Nagoya at least, there is always somewhere to buy yummy fresh food. They don't really like whole meals, but instead a few smaller dishes to make up a meal. A small plate of food at our canteen (in fact its more like a snazzy sushi restaurant with long tables, big glass windows and delicious food) will cost about 100¥, around 75p. These are usually a small teriyaki type meat or fish in these amazing breadcrumb batter - although its not because bread is harder to find. There is a kind of sushi roll thing we had at the MCD (Lucy`s course) Welcome party that Shelly and I crashed. They were amazing.
Anyway, I am on the look out for a sandwich worthy of review but until then feast your eyes on snaps of whats on offer instead. Jealous much?
