One of the simple sandwich recipes from Japan is the Japanese fruit sando, which is a beloved dessert sandwich that you might have seen on social media. The classic fruit sando has thick slices of fluffy shokupan bread, which is Japan's iconic milk bread, filled with sweetened whipped cream and whole, fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwis, and oranges. When sliced diagonally, the cross-section of the fruit embedded in the whipped cream filling makes for a visual that is as stunning as it is delicious. Before it took its place among the simple sandwich recipes in the country, it took a while to be invented. Fruit sando goes back to Kyoto in the early 1920s, while another theory credits Tokyo's Senbikiya, Japan’s first fruit parlour, established in 1868. Either way, the pairing of fresh, sweet and juicy Japanese fruit with the softness of shokupan bread feels almost dream-like once you try it. To make the perfect sweet sandwich, you need to get the consistency of whipped cream right and plan the placement of the fruit. This is one of the easiest simple sandwich recipes for a fruit sando, which needs a chilling time of at least one hour before it is cut to reveal the cross-section. Before cutting, the sandwich also needs to be compressed to get the sandwich to cut perfectly without the fruit popping out or the whipped cream being squeezed out. If you follow the recipe well, you will get those anime-style sandwiches which look like they were drawn by hand with a lot of love and dedication.
