How to Make Japanese Fruit Sandwich (Fruit Sando) (Recipe)
Japanese fruit sandwiches remind me of a beloved dessert from my childhood: the cream cakes sold in Chinese bakeries prettily decorated with rosettes and carefully arranged fruit. Perhaps that’s why I have a soft spot for these sandwiches or sandos short for sandoitchi the Japanese word for sandwiches. With chunks of sweet-and-sour strawberries mangos or kiwis nestled in a thick cloud of whipped cream fruit sandos feel like a more portable bite-sized version of the cakes I used to eat as a child. Instead of a delicate chiffon cake you have two slices of pillowy milk bread holding it all together. It’s the everyday party cake but in sandwich form.

Like omurice (fried rice omelet) hambagu (Japanese hamburger steak) and korokke (croquette) sandos belong to a category of Western-inspired Japanese food called yoshoku. Today sandos are a staple in vending machines and in convenience stores or konbinis where shoppers will find rows and rows of the sandwiches all neatly wrapped in cellophane. The sandos "are usually untoasted and cold with mayonnaise-heavy fillings: egg mayonnaise tuna mayonnaise and so on" writes journalist Bee Wilson in Sandwich: A Global History . "The crusts are sliced off in imitation of English afternoon tea."
