That specific sandwich(egg/egg salad/ ham cheese) was my favorite in japan, i have not been able to replicate it in America. I ate so many of those(with a calpis) the second i had any down time.
Because oriental asian mayonnaise is very different from american mayo. American mayo is this vile cementing paste that smells and tastes like a rotting milk and vinegar solution. Asian mayonnaise flows more, is smoother, and has a lighter sweet taste.
@@raphielle. the bread is not irrelevant. There is a Japanese sandwich house in the Seattle area called Tres. They make their shokupan inhouse. I've bought some to make sandwiches and it does make a big difference.
@@aaronaaron5861 I can't talk about Tokyo since I lived in Toyama, a much more rural part of the country. But to answer your question, it was less out of necessity and more out of convenience (no pun intended). When I first got to Japan in 2012 I spoke barely any Japanese, couldn't read any of it, and was generally overwhelmed as it was my first real job out of college. But as the video says, convenience store food in Japan is way different from convenience store food in the US. I'd say it's closer to getting a sandwich from the corner store or deli in a US city than it is from a gas station convenience store.
@@aaronaaron5861 living in Japan is roughly the same price as living in the USA living in Tokyo is the same price as New York so yes Tokyo is expensive, but that’s only for apartments and housing food is not expensive in japan
People who never visited Japan will never understand how amazing a simple egg salad sandwich is. Idk if they put crack in there or something but it slaps way harder than it should
I also love the yogurt drinks there. I would usually get them in the morning with a sandwich when I was in Japan. There was literally a convenience store around the corner from the international summer exchange dorm. We were in Kyoto, one block from the Kyoto imperial palace and in the middle of a neighborhood. Best sandwiches ever!
I haven't been to Japan but I did try it in Korea, it looked the same but with strawberry jam in it with some other fillings. It tasted great and the bread was insanely soft!
Yes and it’s gotten even worse in recent years because they’re trying not to change the prices too much but also ingredients are still getting expensive 🤷🏻♀️
In the US, the pre-packaged convenient store sandwich is just a necessary evil. It may be bad, but it's there in a pinch. That is, unless it's one with a deli section. Places like Wawa, Sheetz and Quickchek have quality items made-to-order, and have saved me hundreds of times in the past.
Bruh.... egg mayo sandwich in Japan? 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 My wife's Japanese and when she goes back to visit family. She'll ask do I want anything from Japan, and I'll say "tamago sando from the conbini please"
@@Longshot3181 Egg sandwich at Family Mart Convenience Store goes for 230 yen (248 with tax,) pork cutlet sandwich goes for 369 yen (398 with tax,) Tuna lettuce ham cheese egg pack goes for 258 yen (278 yen with tax)
most sandwich videos I check from japan actually look garbage they just make it look pretty then open it up and there is barely anything inside... even this sandwich the dudes holding doesn't look very substantial at all ... living in japan causes people to cope significantly or people who assume japan is this magical place just because they figured out how to sell u stuff in the most dehumanizing way possible
@@Dulc3B00kbyBrant0n Well, I’ve found that the sandwiches here in Japan actually taste pretty darn good. The convenience store sandwiches here seem to adhere to a high standard of quality. I’ve never gotten a stale or disgusting sandwich from a convenience store here.
I went to Japan for a few days and because it was my first time and I was on my own I felt way too awkward to just go into some random sushi or ramen joint so, other than when I went to coco curry and embarrassed myself by not realising what the waitress was trying to communicate to me via charades (I knew very little Japanese, she knew even less English. She was trying to ask what size rice I wanted and I didn't realise that was an option, I thought you just picked your curry and that was it. One of the cooks who spoke English and saw us struggling had to tell me lmao) I LIVED off convenience store food like sandwiches and onigiri. And yeah they absolutely slap. Lawsons was the store right next to my hostel as well so prefer them over 7/11 or FamilyMart, I did go in a FamilyMart and Lawsons just seemed more quality tbh
I can't stop watching these shorts because the food looks insultingly awful, and its always processed ready-made slop from supermarkets but the videos are marketed like they're genuine cuisine. Its hilarious
My favorite was the vegetable coquette sandwich. 3 years later (I went in November 2019) I still miss them, they were so good! Especially with hot cocoa.
I miss Asian convenience store sandwiches so much 😭 I haven't been to Japan in a long long time but I've been eating a ton of these when I visit Taiwan.
I love the ratio of fillings to bread. In the US sandwiches can be so insanely filling heavy with such little bread that it can be overwhelming and overly heavy. Having what looks to be a perfect balance here would probably make some people lose weight
In Argentina we know these as "Sanguchitos de miga", they're always there in birthdays or any other party, I would really recommend you to look for these
Yeah it's basically the italian Tramezzino, look it up. Use white bread, mayo up each side, a bit of pepper on both with olive oil, fill one side with whatevah ( tuna (tuna mixed mix mayo) and boiled eggs, ham n mushrooms, praws n salad) close with the other side, cut in half and eat. Very easy to make.
The best part is they’re like $1-$2 depending on the type and what store. Unbelievably tasty and super cheap meal that fills you up while walking around a new city.
I just watched a video about the workers who make these sandwiches. Much of them, if not all were made by hand and very particular that they all looked the same.. and with crusts cut off! Then there was another section where they packaged them by hand too. I just assumed that those sandwiches would have been made factory style with hardly anything inside of them like in the US.. 😂 Japan has some really appealing convenient store food items! 👍🏼 😋
I’m so glad someone made this to touch on the big difference between Japan convenience compared to American. Japan is unrivaled when it come to always being fresh seriously
The soft bread is most likely milk bread. The egg is likely soft boiled and also preserved in the flavor profile. The Vietnamese sandwich that has egg base mayonnaise is also very unique and likely what is used in the Japanese sandwiches...
The US sent over wheat flower after the war, the japanese didn't have enough heating material to heat bakery ovens so they invented this brad and it is baked whith electricity, not heating elements powerd by electricity big electrodes bake the bread with direct current, thats makes it so fluffy.
Bruh thats an argentinian standard,look up "sanguche de miga" ,the bread is fluffy because is made just with the inside of a regular bread without the crost
I tried these in Japan and personally thought they weren't all that. I actually found the bread too soft and realised I prefer a crusty bread for a sandwich as you might find in an European bakery
@@teamzoey3923 lol u litteraly have no clue what your talking about, this shitty bread is worse for you in all aspects than the bread you might find in Europe. It’s more processed, more chemicals, less fresh usually

I got to japan and was super jet lagged and sleeping in the day so I had to get something from 7-11 my first night. It was just a cucumber cream cheese sandwich and it changed my life.
Those eggs look soooo good. Austria used to have okay-ish supermarket sandwiches but the quality has been getting worse and worse. Especially at Spar you won't get a sandwich that doesn't taste like it's been tipped in acid. Other stores mostly sell you super stale bread with average to below average ingredients.

I ate one of those a day for my 2 weeks in Japan last year, even if I wasn't hungry! I'm going again in 2 weeks and the first thing I'm doing as soon as I land there is grabbing an egg sandwich.
i dont want to know what those look like because this japanese sandwich looks much worse and unhealthier than what you can buy as prepackaged sandwiches in europe. but of course thats looks, i dont know how this tastes but it looks very unappetizing
Around me there’s plenty of gas stations that make homemade food. You must not be from the south if you think American gas stations don’t have good food.
The ones I’ve had actually aren’t that bad. I used to have band practice after school and would go with my friend to 7/11 to get something to eat since it was cheap. My go-to was the egg salad sandwich and smoked Gouda chips. My god, it’s just such a match made in Heaven 🤤
i stopped eating these after i tried them in france and spain. in france, they dont use any butter or sauce in them, they are so dry they make you start to hiccup and in spain they just have the weirdest shit, like wallnuts, raisins and cream cheese or some something
The triangle gas station sandwiches are magical here in Sweden too, it's common to have chicken curry, BLT, club sandwich, sandwich with cheese ham and mayo and Skagensanfwich wich is made with something called skagenröra made with shrimp mayonnaise crème fraiche dill and lemon. My favourite is club(chicken bacon lettuce mayo) but barely any places sell club sandwiches in my slice of sweden
fun fact the food is so high quality in japanese convenience stores because the work culture is so awful and enveloping that there is literally no time to cook food for many working class people
Oddly out of of the places to eat when I visit Amsterdam. It's a chicken salad sandwich that is my go to. It's always one of my first if not my last meal when I'm there.
As an outsider, convenience stores in Japan actually look pretty awesome. Stuff seems fairly reasonably priced and of decent quality. In the US, if you go to a convenience store, you are more or less punished for it. Everything is 50-100% more than the grocery store and their "fresh" food is a borderline health code violation.
I think I saw a $9 box of cereal from the convenience store closest to me. also got doughnuts that were somehow so long out of date that they were moldy (these are the kind that should last a while)
the thing is, it is replicable in all Japanese combining all over the world! I am in Malaysia and Family Mart is famous here. My fav is the egg sandwich. It is also how I do it. Add flavored white pepper and garlic powder, mash the eggs.
