I took a stroll from Kichijoji to Mitaka and came across a sandwich shop that caught my eye. I decided to go in and check out their menu. After having lunch, I bought a couple of sandwiches to try. - Sweet Chili Chicken: Juicy chicken with plenty of vegetables, all coated in a sweet and spicy sweet chili sauce. It had a nice gentle flavor, but those who like spicy food might want a bit more heat. - Whole Low-Temperature Aged Pork Cutlet with Seaweed Salt Sauce: The pork cutlet, cut in half, was lined up neatly. The sandwich bread was just the right size for the pork cutlet. It was a simple way to enjoy the pork cutlet, enhanced by the seaweed salt sauce. Overall, it felt like I was eating a slightly upscale sandwich, and I found myself wanting to try their other menu items as well. Thank you for the meal.

There were a lot of options, so I was looking forward to it. I went around noon on Saturday, thinking there would be a lot of items lined up for lunch, but it was okay. The size is smaller than half of a slice of bread... like half of a lunch pack? Honestly, it was smaller than I thought. I struggled between two types of eggs and chose the "egg lovers" option. The boiled eggs were cut in half, making it easy to eat. The wrapping with French words (Merci Beaucoup) was stylish. It was a bit lacking for someone like me who eats a lot.

I walked along Inokashira Street towards Seikei Street for a little over 10 minutes. Despite being a bit away from the bustling area, I always noticed this restaurant with many customers inside. Passing by the front of the store around 5 pm, I saw they were having a time sale with everything 30% off. Also, they were giving out eco bags for their second-anniversary appreciation event, so I eagerly went inside. I purchased the following two items: - Carrot and Tuna Salad Sandwich for 460 yen: It contains plenty of crunchy lettuce and carrot slaw with tuna. The carrot slaw may be a bit oily, but the sandwich is delicious with the abundance of lettuce. It almost makes you feel like you've had your daily dose of vegetables. - Gorgonzola Potato Salad Sandwich for 460 yen: The moment you take a bite, the aroma of cheese fills your mouth. Inside, there's purple cabbage, rolled omelette, and potato salad. The crunchy texture of the purple cabbage combined with the creamy potato salad was delightful.

"Bronze award at the Bread Festival 2023 Spring! It seems like it was also featured on Mezamashi TV ✨ A new sensation dessert sandwich with rich homemade custard and crispy pie sandwiched between slices of bread! The texture was interesting, and even though mille-feuille tends to get messy, it was easier to eat being sandwiched between bread. They also have Basque cheesecake sandwiches! By early afternoon, most of the bread was already sold out, so it's recommended to visit early ✨ Located right in the middle between Kichijoji and Mitaka ✨ From Kichijoji Station to this shop, there are many trendy shops lined up, which was fun ♡ Recommended points: * Wide variety of sandwich types * Worth the walk from the station * Easy to eat as they are wrapped in paper Reservations available on Saturday afternoons Atmosphere: There are three chairs available and it seems to be popular among women"

I came to Pan Fest 2023 Spring at Yokohama Red Brick. There are so many people here. The event was held from 11:00 to 17:00. The entrance fee is 600 yen for the first part (11:00~) and free for the second part. You need to arrive early or the popular breads will be sold out. I arrived at 10:30 and lined up. It took about an hour to get inside. Now, which one should I line up for? My wife lined up in the long line at "Merci" sandwich shop. She bought the "Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich" for 490 yen including tax. It has a good volume and looks so colorful that you can't help but take a picture. The sandwich has a light and crispy texture with romaine and sunny lettuce. The chicken with skin has a rich flavor that comes later. The honey mustard is quite delicious and goes well with the chicken. The refreshing acidity enhances the sweetness. I wish there was a bit more acidity from the tomato. The moist chicken flavor, mustard flavor, and refreshing lettuce all come together in each bite. It's delicious. Unlike a hamburger, a sandwich feels more gentle. I finished it quickly. It was delicious. I recommend trying the BLT sandwich. Make sure to order it when you visit. My Instagram is → https://www.instagram.com/king_hideyuki/

- White Gateau Chocolat (510 yen) was available for a limited time during Valentine's Day and White Day, and when I visited, it came in a cute blue and white White Day wrapping. It was a milky, rich cream sandwiched between layers of white chocolate that added a crunchy texture. Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet, so even those who don't usually enjoy sweets might find it easy to devour. They also offer a variety of meal options, so I would like to try those next time. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but it's a nice distance for a leisurely stroll. When it gets warmer, it would be a great snack to bring along for a picnic. This limited-time item is available until March 15th, so be sure to check it out!

[First Visit] 12/2022, Weekday, 1:00 PM A shop with a wide variety of delicious-looking sandwiches. They all look so good, it's hard to choose. I ordered the "Plenty of Iburigakko Tartar and Fried Horse Mackerel Sandwich" for 540 yen and enjoyed it at the eat-in seats inside the shop. It was really delicious. I would be so happy if I could have breakfast here every day.

I arrived at the restaurant on a regular Friday at 11:40 with no customers ahead of me. I ordered the Fluffy Omurice & Sweet Mayo Sandwich for 460 yen. The sandwich has a sweet and juicy taste, with a nice texture from the fried egg sandwiched inside. It was different from what I expected, but in a good way. There are many unique sandwiches on the menu, so I would like to try others as well. It seems like something a woman in her 20s would enjoy. Thank you for the meal!

I tried the rumored Basque cheesecake sandwich because I love sweet sandwiches. It was delicious! The generous amount of cream tasted like cheesecake and had a fluffy texture that I loved. The mango and banana added a refreshing taste to the rich flavor, yet it didn't feel heavy at all. I quickly finished it because it was so light and tasty. The size was just right, and the other sandwiches at the trendy shop looked delicious too. I'll definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

I'm sorry that the cross-section is not shown even though it has a clean cross-section. Chicken sandwich 490 yen, Chestnut and roasted green tea sandwich 590 yen. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Recently, there are more sandwiches with clean cross-sections, but it's a shame that the filling doesn't go all the way to the back.

I visited a sandwich shop in Kichijoji. It is a bit of a walk from Kichijoji Station, taking over 10 minutes on foot, so it may seem a bit far. The interior of the shop is not very spacious, so takeout is the main option, but there are also 2 seats for eating in. The sandwiches lined up inside the shop have a lot of vegetables and give off a colorful and lovely impression. The sandwiches I tried this time were the autumn new releases: Chestnut and Hojicha Cream Mille-feuille, Chestnut and Hojicha Cream Mille-feuille Sandwich with a crispy puff pastry that provides a crunchy texture to enjoy. There are also dried figs on top, adding a slight accent to the flavor. The puff pastry was a bit thinner than it appeared in the photos, which was a bit disappointing, but it still had a nice crispy texture. The Chestnut and Earl Grey Melty, with a generous serving of Earl Grey flavored Basque cheesecake in the middle, was a satisfying dish. In terms of budget, it costs around 590 yen per piece, which may seem a bit expensive. However, I want to support small but hardworking shops like this one.

I purchased sandwiches from a sandwich shop in Kichijoji that was participating in an event at Chofu Parco. I tried the Omukatsu Sandwich and the BLT Sandwich. The sandwiches were packed with ingredients and looked very appealing. The bread was thin, fine, and moist. However, the Omukatsu sandwich was disappointing as the egg omelet turned into a cutlet did not turn out well. The BLT sandwich also had bacon that seemed a bit dry. Maybe it was just a one-time thing.

[Tokyo/Kichijoji] Limited to summer! The Basque cheesecake sandwich that is a hit on Instagram ▷▶︎︎Ease of solo dining◀◁★★★☆☆ The cafe is small, with only counter seats by the window. It may be difficult to stay for a long time, but it's easy to enter the shop for takeout and sandwich purchases. ☑︎Merci Lemon ¥490 (tax included) This time, I tried the limited edition Merci Lemon. I was surprised to find Basque cheesecake inside the sandwich, and the refreshing lemon flavor added to its deliciousness. The size is small, so you can eat it quickly! It can get a bit sticky, so having wet wipes handy is a plus.

Thank you @Kichijoji Sandwich Specialty Store for the Basque Cheesecake Sandwich! It had fruits sandwiched in it, adding juiciness to it. The thick Basque cheesecake made it satisfying to eat, and being sandwiched made it very easy to enjoy! This would be perfect for a picnic at the nearby Inokashira Park☀️ It's a bit of a walk from the station, but aside from the cheesecake sandwich, they also have many other delicious sandwich options available! #PR @merci_kichijouji #Kichijoji Stroll #Tokyo Sandwich #Sandwich Specialty Store #Kichijoji Sweets #Inokashira Park #Kichijoji Bakery #Merci #Kichijoji Gourmet

"New sensation sweets! Basque Cheesecake Sandwich that's popular on Instagram" Merci Food Log: 3.20 390 yen~ Kichijoji @merci_kichijouji Located about a 12-minute walk from Kichijoji Station, this shop's features are: 1. The popular "Basque Cheesecake Sandwich" that combines Basque cheesecake and sandwich. 2. It looks great on Instagram because the cross-section is beautiful. It looks big in photos, but it's surprisingly small. 3. There are various flavors like mango, banana, strawberry, blueberry, etc. I tried mango and banana, but the banana one was tastier. Despite being far from the station, there were quite a few customers. The only downside is that it's a bit far from Kichijoji Station, but if you happen to be nearby, be sure to visit."

There are many customers stopping by while strolling in Kichijoji. I had a Basque cheesecake sandwich. The cream and fruit mix together well, making it a delicious sweet sandwich. There are also many savory sandwich options, so I would like to try others next time.

I went for a walk to the newly opened commercial facility "Branch Moriya" in Moriya City. The open event was bustling with a lot of people. I found a food truck selling Basque cheesecake sandwiches. They had three flavors - strawberry, blueberry, and plain. I bought the plain one and shared it with my wife. The sandwich was quite heavy due to the whole Basque cheesecake sandwiched between the bread. It was delicious, with a rich flavor of Basque cheese and a thin layer of cream. The bread did not overpower the cheese, and the cream added a nice touch. Overall, it was a satisfying sweet treat.

There is a sandwich shop near Kichijoji Station that I have been curious about for a while. Recently, they introduced a new banana-flavored Basque cheesecake sandwich at Meruchi, and it was even more delicious than I imagined. It was not heavy at all and I could easily finish it in one go! The sweetness and portion were just right, and it's addictive. I want to try different flavors next time. #Kichijoji stroll #Tokyo sandwich #Sandwich specialty shop #Kichijoji sweets #Inokashira Park #Kichijoji bakery #Kichijoji gourmet #Sandwich shop

I purchased sandwiches at "Merci" in Mitaka. It is a small sandwich specialty shop located on Inokashira Street. I chose the Omukatsu for 390 yen and the Pork Katsu for 490 yen. The Omukatsu is described as fluffy omukatsu, with a coating similar to potato starch coating an omelet like dashimaki tamago. I ate it about 4 hours after purchasing, and it did not have any moisture or oil seeping into the bread. The sweet egg was delicious, but it lacked depth, giving a somewhat deceiving impression (lol). The Pork Katsu, on the other hand, has more depth and offers a satisfying eating experience. The quality of the katsu itself is good enough to be enjoyed on its own. It is sandwiched between lettuce and purple cabbage, which adds volume compared to the katsu, making it feel like a good value for money. There is also a "Merci" sandwich shop in Shinjuku, but the varieties and the way the egg sandwiches and katsu sandwiches are made are different. It is located near the popular town of Kichijoji, and although it is delicious, it feels a bit pricey.

I took a stroll in Kichijoji after a long time, and I wonder if this shop has always been here? Maybe I visited right after it opened. But I don't remember. After lunch, I decided to have dessert. I started with what I assume is their signature item, the "Melty" in "Plain" flavor (380 yen). What is Melty anyway? Well, it's a sweet treat. Not overly sweet, it was just the right amount of light dessert.
