What the creator captured
Mike Chen Clips & BEST Eats explored the diverse world of Japanese sandwiches, ranging from a $200 Kobe chateaubriand cutlet to a unique cold tamago sandwich with wasabi. While he found the expensive Wagyu sandwich delicious, he noted that the pork cutlet sandwich from Maisen remains one of his absolute favorite comfort foods in Japan. He concluded that despite the high price of luxury beef, the simple textures of a well-made egg or pork sandwich offer incredible value.

Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo is a major metropolitan center with a history extending back to the Edo period (1603–1867), when it served as the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate. The city’s architectural landscape includes historical structures such as the Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, established in the 7th century, and the Tokyo Imperial Palace, which occupies the former site of Edo Castle. These traditional sites exist alongside 20th and 21st-century developments.

Local tips
- Load a Suica or Pasmo IC card onto your phone's digital wallet for seamless tap-to-pay access on all trains, buses, and at most convenience stores.
- Always carry physical yen because many small restaurants, traditional shops, and temple stalls remain strictly cash-only.
- Maintain a quiet environment on public transit by setting your phone to silent and avoiding voice calls or loud conversations.
- Carry a small bag for your trash throughout the day, as public garbage cans are rare and locals are expected to take their litter home.
