A sando, short for sandwich, is a popular food item in Japan that typically consists of two slices of bread filled with various ingredients. Common fillings include meats, vegetables, and spreads, often made with soft, fluffy white bread known as shokupan. Sandos can be found in convenience stores, cafes, and restaurants across the country. There are many types of sandos, such as the katsu sando, which features a breaded and fried pork cutlet, and the egg sando, made with a creamy egg salad. These sandwiches are enjoyed for their convenience, portability, and delicious flavors, making them a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
