A Japanese egg sandwich, also called tamago sando, is a classic Japanese sandwich: egg salad tucked between two fluffy slices of milk bread. You\u2019ll find them in convenience stores across Japan and now in your very own home. The egg salad filling is rich and creamy and the bread is a fluffy pillowy hug!<\/p>\n

What is a Japanese egg sandwich?<\/h2>\n

A Japanese egg sandwich is a take on an egg salad sandwich. Hard boiled eggs are mixed with Japanese kewpie mayo and put between two soft slices of bread, usually Japanese milk bread or shokupan. Egg sandwiches are super popular in Japan. They sell them almost everywhere: at grocery stores, convenience stores, bakeries \u2013 basically anywhere you would think you would buy a snack or quick lunch, egg salad sandwiches are there. They\u2019re kind of prevalent in pop culture too: Anthony Bourdain was a huge fan of Lawson\u2019s egg salad sandos and David Chang still says it\u2019s one of the first thing he eats when he touches down in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

What kind of bread for egg salad sandwiches?<\/h2>\n

The best bread for a Japanese egg salad sandwich is milk bread. You can make your own milk bread<\/a> or you can go to an Asian grocery store to pick up a loaf. Usually, I like to use a square loaf, also known as a pullman loaf, so when I trim the crusts off \u2013 which is essential \u2013 you don\u2019t lose as much bread. If you don\u2019t have access to milk bread, go for the softest, fluffiest white bread you can find. You can also use brioche or standard sandwich bread.<\/p>\n
