☕️【Tokyo Ginza Kissaten American】A surprising thick-cut sandwich & retro space to satisfy both your stomach and heart on a morning trip

Located in an alley just behind Kabukiza and near Higashi-Ginza Station, the long-established café "American" has been loved for over 30 years since its founding in 1983. The reason? Handmade sandwiches overflowing from thick-cut bread over 5 cm thick! This overwhelmingly generous portion, said to be the best in Japan, is the perfect "reward experience" for a morning on your trip.

🌟Features & Highlights

・Freshly baked bread is delivered every morning and noon. The steaming hot bread is fluffy, chewy, and exquisite
・The specialty is the piled-high egg sandwich (about 900 yen). With the volume of more than one pack of eggs, some say "I can't finish it!" The thoughtful inclusion of a takeout box by default is also appreciated
・The interior is a "treasure box-like space" filled from ceiling to walls with the owner's memories and posters
