Katsu sando-flavored ice cream or ice cream shaped like katsu sando; novelty item.
Katsu Curry Pan (カツカレーパン)
Tonkatsu with curry sauce in a roll; combines two favorites.
Karaage Sando (唐揚げサンド)
Japanese fried chicken (karaage—soy-ginger marinated, potato starch coated) on shokupan with mayo and cabbage.
Kani Cream Korokke Sando (カニクリームコロッケサンド)
Bite a hot one and the shell cracks before the filling moves, then a crab-flecked cream that was a firm paste five minutes ago floods out. A sauce wearing a crust.
Kaki Fry Sando (カキフライサンド)
In January the menus change. The oyster comes into its plump cold-water months and the fried-oyster sandwich appears, panko-crumbed oysters and tartar on soft bread, a sandwich on a calendar.
Jam Sando (ジャムサンド)
Fruit jam (ichigo/strawberry most common) on shokupan; simple sweet sandwich.
Ishikawa Noto Beef Sando (能登牛サンド)
A few slices of Noto-ushi, the Noto Peninsula's own Japanese Black wagyu, seared rare or fried as a gyūkatsu cutlet and framed by crustless milk bread, with the bind tuned down to a murmur.
Instagrammable Sando (インスタ映えサンド)
Sandwiches designed for visual impact on social media; elaborate cross-sections.
Ice Cream Sando (アイスサンド)
Snap a Japanese ice-cream monaka and the wafer cracks dry and clean against cold cream. The whole feat is keeping a centuries-old rice wafer crisp against the ice cream it holds.
Hotel Sando (ホテルサンド)
Luxury hotel sandwiches; afternoon tea service, room service.
Hot Sando - Anko Butter (あんバターホットサンド)
Hot pressed red bean paste and butter sandwich; sweet.
Hokkaido Salmon Sando (北海道サーモンサンド)
Hokkaido salmon sando frames the island's prized autumn chum the way the region knew it first: cold-smoked or cured, folded in silky sheets onto soft shokupan.
Hokkaido Crab Sando (北海道カニサンド)
A Hokkaido crab sando starts with which crab: snow, king, or hairy, each a different sweetness and price. Picked leg meat in kewpie mayonnaise on soft shokupan, a real-crab splurge, not a surimi one.
Hokkaido Butter Sando (北海道バターサンド)
Sweet sandwich cookies with Hokkaido butter cream; souvenir item (like Marusei butter sandwich).
Hiroshima Okonomiyaki Sando (広島お好み焼きサンド)
Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (layered with noodles) as sandwich filling; regional fusion.
Hire Katsu Sando - Premium (極上ヒレカツサンド)
Premium tenderloin katsu using high-grade pork; thick-cut, minimal breading to showcase meat quality.
High-End Shokupan (高級食パン)
Sandwiches using ultra-premium shokupan; Japanese bread boom.
Hayashi Rice Sando (ハヤシライスサンド)
A yoshoku demi-glace beef-and-onion stew, reduced past pourable until it holds a clean wall, tucked into buttered shokupan. The roux-block version is tuned for the bowl.
Ham Sando (ハムサンド)
The plainest sando on the konbini shelf: thin folded press-ham, a film of Kewpie, and crustless shokupan. No cooking step, so its whole quality is freshness and proportion.
Ham Katsu Sando (ハムカツサンド)
The cutlet is pressed ham, a Showa-era product built to stretch scarce pork, breaded and fried at the butcher's counter. Long the poor man's cutlet.
