Strawberry cream 7-11 sandwich.
In Australia you’re taking your life into your own hands when you buy some premade sandwiches from a 7-11. Sure, some would be okay, depending on how much you pay for them but for the most part, you’re not just buying a sandwich, you’re buying a ticket in the lottery of projectile vomiting.
Japan is no different except that while the sandwich fillings look even worse than anything I’ve seen in Australia , I’ve never gotten sick from them, even with what I call the Egg Triple – 3 sandwiches, all with egg: egg and tuna, egg and ham, and egg and… egg. (Seriously. It’s mashed egg with sliced boiled egg.)
Normally most of the sandwiches are savoury – bits of ham or fried cutlets of some unknown meat – but occasionally you do come across a sweeter option, like these strawberry and cream sangers. They were very sweet and the cream wasn’t exactly fresh, but all things considered they were pretty good.
Cost: 280Y
Available: I’m not actually sure. I’ve seen them once or twice before so maybe all year round? Don’t quote me though.
