Age.3 GINZA (Fried Bread Cafe)

Age.3 GINZA is the definition of a hidden gem, literally. It’s such a tiny hole-in-the-wall that if you blink, you might walk right past it, even with the long line out front. If you’ve got some spare time during your Tokyo trip, it’s worth checking out, just make sure to pack your patience. Each sandwich is made to order, so the wait can be a bit long. The sandwiches are absolutely loaded, stuffed to the brim and unapologetically messy in the best way. There’s a huge variety of flavors to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable considering how generous the portions are. I tried five different kinds, and I genuinely enjoyed them all. Would I go back? Probably not, mostly because it felt like a one-time experience for me. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it. If you’re a foodie or just love discovering quirky local spots, this is a fun stop to add to your Tokyo itinerary.

We are first in line when we were there before 11am, but the queue shaped very quickly. We tried the 3 recommended menu, creme brulee, yakiniku and egg. The stuffing is very generous (and yeah pls prepare wet tissue because it can be very messy). The creme brulee is very sweet, actually I prefer the original cream better. For the savoury one, the chicken variant is the one I like the most. They are very generous too. They give free sandwich if you give them ratings in Google.

The line up at 3pm wasnt bad at all. I trusted my local reviewer to come here and try their sandwiches. Im happy to report they didnt disappoint. We got their chocolate banana and their whipped cream and it was delicious. There is also a park there that you can seat and eat and sash your face because it definitely gets messy lol

Sad to say I was a little disappointed with this one but it’s completely what you would expect. The service and staff are all fantastic and they do a great job controlling the lines because it’s so popular. We arrived about 30 minutes before opening and were fourth in line but the line got pretty long after us. It’s a cream sandwich stuffed to the brim, but the fried bread makes it a little too heavy/greasy for me. I liked the crème brûlée sandwich more than the regular cream because of the custard and crispy top, the tiramisu is just the regular cream with cocoa powder on top. I think our mistake was going in the morning, and this would be better to do as a dessert pick me up later in the day because then I think I would have enjoyed it more. In my opinion still worth checking out for yourself while in Tokyo!

Queued 30+ mins on a weekday. Service was good, staff can speak english, and menu has plenty of options. Had the egg salad, seasonal sweet potato, and cream sandwich (free when you leave a review). Egg salad was decent, sweet potato was unique (my fave), but wouldnt pay for cream sandwich so it’s a good thing it was free. The sandwiches were also very oily. Overall an ok experience but would only try once.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely worth the wait! Age.3’s fried sweet sandwiches are next-level indulgent — we tried the crème brûlée, chocolate banana cream, and apple pie, and each one was crispy, gooey, and unforgettable. The line was long, but one bite and we knew why. A must-visit for dessert lovers!

Amazing sandwiches! But be prepared for line ups going up to 30 mins to an hour. The staff were super friendly. They provide you with a menu while you wait in the line so you have enough time to decide from the 25+ options they have to offer. You get free takeout box and bag if you order three or more sandwiches. Cherry on top, they add limited edition items to their menu every two months.

Great price, super yummy sandwiches! The bread is perfectly fried and there are tons of savory and sweet options to choose from. The creme brûlée was our favorite. There’s no place to sit in the store so we found seats at the park across the street. If you leave a google review, they will give you a complimentary cream sandwich!
