Ginza Sand

Came here as it was highly recommended on social media and our hotel. We ordered the beef sauce cutlet sando and shrimp cutlet sando and it was average, like good for a quick lunch or afternoon snack, but definitely wouldn't queue for more than 10 mins. We waited close to 30 mins for both Sandos at 2:30PM but totally understandable as it was a one man show. Worth a try? Yes. Worth coming back again? Nah.

Visited in Jan 2026 in the middle of a winter night @ 0030. Total waiting time was about 20mins. Staff was super friendly! When my friends and I got the food, we ate right outside of the store (cause we're the only ones there at that time), the staff/cook/owner came out handing us serviettes without us asking. The food wasnt BAD bad, but it wasn't GREAT great either. If you've nothing better to do and is looking for a midnight snack, this is the place to go.

This place is take out to go only. Order at the window, wait for your order, then eat it somewhere else. The prime Japanese beef cut fillet sandwich was unbelievable. Melt in your mouth with fluffy bread. Was it worth 3200 yen to me? Probably not, so I wouldn’t get it again. It took 20 minutes after placing my order to receive it for pick up. At least you know they make it fresh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

found this place through TikTok and it did not disappoint. These sandwiches are sooo good! The steak was cooked perfectly and the bread has a nice toast but still super soft. The egg sandwich melted in your mouth! I don't like egg sandwiches typically but this changed me. Definitely recommend trying this spot! We came at a time with no line but the wait was 20 minutes to cook as everything is fresh. We didn't mind the wait becuase there are so many shops nearby to walk in while you wait. The only downside is there is nowhere to eat. Thankfully our hotel was nearby so we took it there to eat.

"Ginza Sand" is a popular, high-end sandwich shop (sando-ya) in Tokyo's Ginza district, famous for its Japanese-style katsu sandwiches . It operates primarily as a takeout and delivery shop. Signature Items: Must-try items include their Egg Katsu Sando and the premium Prime Beef Filet Sando . I tried the egg sandwishz it was scramble eggs with mayo. It was good, only problem is take out only. And long line up always . Since it was handmade, it will take 20 mins to wait.

Had the famous gyukatsu sando from Ginza Sand as the late night snack of the first night in Tokyo. Beef was extremely juicy, although slightly on the rare end of a medium-rare doneness. Looks small in the photos but definitely not bite-size unless you can open your mouth wide enough. Wanted to get the soup, since it was a relatively cold night (Tokyo just experienced severe downpours 1-2 days back on the 11th and 12th Sep and the day itself was cloudy). Unfortunately, the soup was sold out when we reached. Definitely a must-try when you are in Tokyo, for the thickness of the katsu as well as the juiciness.

Don't listen or read the haters' reviews. This is easily one of the best meals and sandwiches you'll ever experience and it's worth every minute in line and every minute waiting and every penny paid. I went two days in a row because the sandwiches are just that good. I waited about 30 minutes in line and 45 minutes for my food the first day, then about 20 minutes each in line and waiting for my food the second day because I did arrive a bit earlier. They get busier the later you go. Staff is so friendly and sweet. The shop is super small and the menu is large enough to read with a good variety of sandwiches. My absolute favorite is the premium beef cutlet. 3200 Yen or about $22. The meat is so tender and soft and juicy and just impeccable. The flavors are phenomenal and the crispiness is just the perfect touch to an already excellent cutlet, plus the soft bread with the slight toast just makes this beyond words can describe. I was shook by how good the croquette sandwich was. Again, fried to the beautiful crispy golden brown.Perfectly toasted bread. And that croquette filling? My god. Sublime. Rich and dense and flavorful and just wonderful. Now my least favorite of the three but by no means "bad" was the salt pork cutlet sandwich. The bread was again, perfect. The pork cutlet was, like the other two, perfectly fried, and the juiciest and so so soft. You can literally see the juices glistening in my photo. The ONLY reason I was a little put off was the big rock salt pieces on top of the sandwich. I thought by "Salt" they just meant the seasoning but the big pieces of salt on top make it a bit too much and I had to scrape off as much as I could. Overall, and excellent and must visit while in Tokyo

I ordered the prime beef sandwich, which costs around $23. I only came here because of videos on TikTok, but honestly, it was not worth it, and after eating this I quickly realized not to rely on online recommendations. I was expecting more flavor but it was surprisingly bland for me. It's also incredibly tiny, despite other reviews claiming otherwise. You could definitely find better meals in Tokyo for half the price.

Probably one of the best things I ate while in Japan. Delicious is really an understatement! This sandwich spot is open from 5pm - 3am which is quite odd hours so be aware before coming during the day. It's a super small store front where you order and wait outside. They will come out with your order and find you outside their store. Garbage bin right in front of heir store for you to trash your stuff after eating. The food here is so good, never had such a delicious sandwich in Japan. Here's what we got: Egg cutlet sandwich 5/5 - This was so amazing and the best thing I ate while in Japan. First bite into the sandwich and you get a crispy layer which is unexpected but makes for it to be so delicious. Fluffy bread and delicious interior, definitely get this! Prim japanese beef fillet cutlet sand 3/5 - Looks like it'd be super delicious since it comes with a huge piece of beef fillet, but I think you can skip this one. It's good but not a must get. It also comes at a steep price of 3,200 yen. Shrimp cutlet sand 5/5 - Another great one! The shrimp is delicious and crispy with a soft interior. Must get this as well. Eel cutlet sand 5/5 - You get large pieces of eel in this sandwich and is so tasty. Overall I found myself constantly thinking about these sandwiches throughout my time in Japan because it was THAT good! A must try!

Egg salad was a 5 star rating Prime Beef was 3 star. Note: it will take 25 minutes for this one.

Service was quick! Food was delicious! There is no dine in options. It's a walk up and order window! Stand is open until 5am so this hit the spot for my 1am cravings

This steak sandwich was melt in your mouth buttery. A little on the pricey side for a very small sando, but honestly the quality of the ingredients make it worth it. The place a small little window on the side of a building not too far from the Uniqlo flagship store. When we arrived there wasn't a line but once we put our order in a line quickly formed. We waited about 10 mins for our sandos to be prepared. Unfortunately there's no where to sit near by so we ended up eating the sandos standing on the side of the street. If you're really hungry the sandos are pretty small but if you're looking to a small snack like we were it was great.
