Sandwich Tanaka

The katsu curry rice sandwich, with cutlet, curry and even rice tucked inside the bread, is a distinctive Sandwich Tanaka offering. One customer who took it away reported that it was generously filled right to the edges, with the rice and bread balancing the curry’s heat and the cutlet’s oiliness. For a filling option that stretches the idea of a sandwich, this is a natural place to start.

Curry rice is another choice when you want a substantial meal. One diner described it as spicy and thick, with a satisfying portion even in the medium size; adding a croquette reportedly softened the heat. The menu lists large, medium and small sizes, with croquette as a topping, so you can choose according to your appetite and how much heat you want alongside it.

For a lighter sandwich, explore the different fillings. The selection includes katsu and dashi egg sandwiches as well as fruit sandwiches. Diners have also mentioned a dashi omelette sandwich with shibazuke pickles and fruit sandwiches packed with fruit. Some take home both savoury and sweet options, saving the fruit sandwich for after the meal. One example worth noting for anyone keen to try several varieties is a combination of a sandwich box and a fruit sandwich.

Breakfast and lunch menus, as well as coffee, make this a possible stop for anything from a light morning bite to lunch. The shop is open Tuesday to Friday from 7:30 to 15:00, and closed on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Payment is cash only, so come prepared.
