Chicken karaage with iceberg lettuce, tomato and ippuku sauce on Japanese soft white bread

Last Saturday marked the end of an era for Ippuku Cafe, a place I've frequented quite a bit due to its convenient location next to my gym. I felt a compelling need to pay them one last visit before they closed their doors for good.

Now, when it comes to the Osaka sando, you're given the option to choose your protein. For this particular visit, I went with the chicken karaage. TBH, I must confess, I've never been a fan of the tomato and iceberg lettuce combo. I didn't really eat many veggies growing up, and where I'm from, it seems like every dish comes with a side of lettuce and tomato. It's a bit of a childhood trauma, if you ask me 😂.

But here's the twist – the chicken was absolutely delicious, and that sando was the ultimate comfort food. It's a bittersweet feeling to see them go. I'll definitely miss them.

Another visit, another sandwich.
