What the creator captured
Jeremy Jacobowitz traveled across Japan to rank the best egg salad sandwiches, highlighting unique variations like the deep-fried version at Age.3 and the fluffy meringue mix at Tekisan. Despite trying many gourmet options, he maintains that the 7-Eleven egg salad sando remains the absolute gold standard. He emphasizes that a trip to Japan is incomplete without visiting local convenience stores and neighborhood shops like Popo for these iconic snacks.

Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo, originally known as Edo, serves as the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial family. Its historical heritage is anchored in the Edo period (1603–1868), a time when the city developed as a center for the Tokugawa shogunate. The Imperial Palace, situated on the former site of Edo Castle, remains a central landmark characterized by stone walls, moats, and the Nijubashi Bridge. The city’s architecture reflects a transition from traditional wooden structures to modern engineering. Senso-ji.
Must-try foods nearby
- Edomae Sushi
The quintessential Tokyo experience, specifically the 'Edomae' style which uses traditional preservation techniques like marinating in soy sauce or vinegar. - Monjayaki
Often called Tokyo's 'soul food,' this savory pancake is a runnier, more liquid version of okonomiyaki. It is traditionally cooked on a large iron griddle (teppan) at your table. - Truffle Shoyu Ramen
While Tonkotsu remains popular, Tokyo's 2026 ramen scene is dominated by refined, clear 'Shoyu' (soy sauce) broths infused with luxury ingredients. - Tempura (Tokyo-Style)
Authentic Tokyo tempura is distinguished by being fried in high-quality sesame oil, giving it a golden hue and a nutty aroma. - Yakitori (Skewered Chicken)
A staple of Tokyo's 'Salaryman' culture, these skewers are grilled over binchotan (white charcoal).
When to go: The best months to visit Tokyo are March to May for cherry blossoms and October to November for vibrant autumn foliage and mild, clear days. While spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures.
Local tips
- Purchase a digital or physical IC card like Suica or Pasmo to seamlessly pay for all trains, buses, and convenience store purchases.
- Carry a small bag for your trash throughout the day, as public waste bins are rare in Tokyo's streets and stations.
- Maintain silence on public transportation by keeping your voice low and avoiding phone calls to respect the shared quiet space.
- Refrain from tipping at restaurants or in taxis, as excellent service is included in the price and leaving extra money can cause confusion.
