“Now, the best egg salad I've had in Japan so far is 7-Eleven. This looks like it could compete a lot. This is a hard one. This is incredible. I think I'm still rocking with team 7-Eleven because of the soft bread and the creaminess, but this is probably the second best egg salad I've ever had.”

Trying the viral cream sandwich in Tokyo Japan 📍Age 3, Ginza #japan #tokyo · @ 0:00

Stuffed Cream Sandwich
This is literally deep-fried Japanese milk bread stuffed with cream. Something you'd expect to see at the Texas State Fair, not in Tokyo. Shockingly, it's actually not that sweet. The homemade cream is really fresh. It almost tastes like butter. And I love how you get a crunch from the bread, but you need to be careful because this cream comes at your face really fast.

Creme Brulee Sandwich
Homemade custard and then torch it to create a creme brulee top. The Japanese are really out here just doing the most insane stuff in the world. Come on. This is insanely delicious. The creme brulee top is essentially like this glass of sugar.
