My sponsor (aka my mom) and I learnt about this place through TV, they were doing an episode on the best 'Sashi-Ire' (a Japanese custom to give an offering to a guest/friend/colleague) and the egg sandwich from Amanoya came in first place. It just so happened that the shop was a 10 minute walk from our house. We actually had already tried going last week, but it was completely sold out by 2pm. So today my sponsor and I tried again, although they were only selling takeaway boxes today we were able to grab 3 boxes for the price of $35. Yep.. $35 for egg sandwiches.

| 1,200 yen for a box of plain egg sandwiches. Fluffy eggs sandwiched with a mustard spread. Simple is best? |

Okay so I've had a dilemma with egg sandwiches ever since I had one when I was 12 at a friends house and it was really goopy. I remember struggling to eat the whole sandwich thinking 'Never again...' When I saw that Amanoya served an egg sandwich totally out of this world, obviously I had to give it the benefit of the doubt. It was absolutely delicious. It was just a fluffy thick cut slice of egg, with a thin layer of mustard/mayonnaise spread held together with soft moist slices of bread. I don't know what else to say about it but I don't think I'll ever come across a egg sandwich so simply good. - Mari
