What to know
Wolf (@wolf.0313) noted that the egg sandwich at Kissa American is available for 800 yen, and you can take it home if you cannot finish it. This traditional cafe specializes in Japanese-style Western cuisine, known as Yoshoku, and has served customers since the 1980s. The space features 28 tables, maintaining a retro Showa-era atmosphere. Walls display celebrity autographs and photos, including Justin Bieber. This reflects its frequent appearances in media for unique portions. The mood is focused on food, suitable for an everyday meal or a travel highlight. American is famous for its extremely large and voluminous sandwiches. The egg sandwich, in particular, is a signature item. One creator, 至福グルメ (@happy_time_gourmet), mentioned the Super Special Egg Sandwich uses 1.5 loaves of bread and 10 eggs. Expect queues, especially during morning hours. Go early for breakfast.
