EPIC Japanese Egg Sandwich Showdown

Who makes the best Japanese Egg Sandwich? This week I hit up the 3 largest konbini (convenience stores) in Japan to find out. It's 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson battling it out for the title of best convenience store Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich. #EggSaladSandwich #JapanseEggSandwich #Konbini

I ate an egg sando every day for 2 weeks during my visit to Japan. It was an addictive and satisfying late-night snack to accompany drinks. I did the taste test of all 3 conbini egg sandos, and personally, my favorite was Family Mart. It had a creamier texture and stronger flavor which paired well with satsuma tangerine beer (another Japanese favorite!)

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks for sharing! If I were eating it with a beer (or chuhai), I'd definitely go with Family Marts.

[@progressivedad5380]

@@smarteapantz agreed!!!

[@melissaquinn1463]

More videos like this would be great. I miss the food from every place we visited, including the convenience stores. Katsu sandos next, maybe?

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Melissa, good idea! I'll add it to the list of ideas for future taste test videos.

[@erinuber2881]

Marc, this is fantastic! I have always wanted to see all three competitors' sandwiches together, and hear a review. Even more, I want to see your recipe next week! Really looking forward to it. Thanks for brightening my day. 😃

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Erin, so glad to hear it was able to brighten your day☀️😀 As I was doing research for my egg salad sandwich recipe, I noticed no one had done a 3 store taste test yet, so I thought I'd step in and fill the gap😆

[@erinuber2881]

@No Recipes Such a good idea you had - bravo! :-)

[@MapleGenesis]

My heart will always be with the Lawson tamago sando. Drunk weekends in Shinjuku and stumbling into Lawson to grab a Pocari Sweat and the sando.

[@NoRecipes]

Good call on the Lawson sandwich! 😆 Can't say I've ever enjoyed Pocari Sweat though.

[@manggy]

On visual inspection alone, 7-11 already wins :)

[@NoRecipes]

Hahahah yea, it has the most egg by far, but it's also the most expensive.

[@nickstoli]

Great video! Have you ever thought of giving food tours of Tokyo? Btw, can't wait for your next one! Love tamago sando!

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Jay! I don't have any public tours, but I do do private tours from time to time.

[@nickstoli]

@@NoRecipes Ever think of making a vid of them?

[@NoRecipes]

@@nickstoli Hi Jay, that's a cool idea, but filming them would take my attention away from the tour I'm giving, plus it might make the people on the tour uncomfortable. If I do make videos of food tours it would have to be specifically for the video.

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks for watching! Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqrblItpftV2nKs for my version of the konbini egg sandwich!

[@mitsukaranai]

I love the specificity - 1.3 cm vs 1 cm of bread. Amazing! 😇I can’t wait for the progress and future success of your channel. I can totally 100% see you with your own cooking show (I was surprised you didn’t have one already haha).

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Heidi! I do have a cable TV show on NHK World. It's called Bento Expo if you wanna check it out.

[@tesscook1]

Fun video! Can't wait to make my own taste tests of 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson food items. Until then, can you tests oden, umeboshi onigiri and their tonkatsu sando or bowls?

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Tess! Are you visiting Japan soon? Love the idea of comparing oden, but I'll have to wait until it's back in season this fall. Also, great call on onigiri.

[@tresboujay]

You are making me go get kewpie mayo! 😊These were my go to when I lived in Okinawa.

[@NoRecipes]

👍🏽 I have a recipe for my version of the sandwich here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqrblItpftV2nKs hope you enjoy it😉

[@tresboujay]

@@NoRecipes Thank you so much! ☺️

[@tfamilysf]

Great analysis, Marc! I will definitely try all of them when i go visit Japan in December! (I remember egg yolks in Japan are more orange than yellow) Can't wait to see your egg salad recipe!!

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks for watching! Curious to hear which one you end up liking the best😀

[@berrykage]

Lawson is my favorite ❤️

[@NoRecipes]

It was one of mine as well!

[@_Lightning_Dog_]

Marc, It’d be cool if you organized food tasting tours in places like Japan, China, or anywhere really!

[@NoRecipes]

That's a great idea and I'd really enjoy it, but the challenge is to find the time. I've got something in the works though😉

[@mountainneko]

Anthony Bourdain said that he always would go to Lawson's and buy their egg salad sandwich any time he was in Japan. . .

[@NoRecipes]

😭 RIP 🥪

[@hawaiiguy12345]

Lawson's with Orion beer............the best!

[@NoRecipes]

Good call!

[@dorolyncyo]

サンドイッチに関していえばファミマが一番美味しいイメージだが、たまごサンドはセブンイレブンが好きですね。いつもお皿に大量の黒胡椒とチューブのカラシ(塩気あり)を用意してたまごサラダに追加して食べます。

[@NoRecipes]

アパッペの生胡椒を試したことありますか？セブンイレブンのタマゴサンドでは試していませんが、美味しいと思います。

[@progressivedad5380]

Just back from japan, ate egg sando every morning. Trust me family mart wins hands down the others don't compare at all

[@NoRecipes]

They add onion to theirs and a lot more salt and there's less egg than 7-Eleven. Not my cup of tea, but I'm glad you found one you like.

[@deleon9465]

I miss sooo much these egg salad sandwiches T-T

[@NoRecipes]

Now you can make it yourself😉
