The menu includes unique offerings like the Strawberry Sando (homemade cream, strawberry, shokupan), OG Tamago Sando (Japanese egg salad, shokupan, sweet mayo), Hambagu Sando (Japanese hambagu patties in beef & pork, egg, cheese, cabbage, shokupan, homemade spicy mayo), and Matcha or Ube Strawberry Sando (homemade matcha or ube cream, strawberry, shokupan). They will also offer a variety of coffee and tea options.
