I was so excited about all the food adventures I was going to have in the new year... and then I got hit with COVID two weeks ago. I just thought I had a particularly nasty cold but my mom dropped off a box of rapid tests, which I do have some trust issues with, but I took one anyway and wow, did those two lines show up fast. I somehow managed to avoid it for 3 years, so I guess it was finally my turn. Anyway, that was all to preface the fact that I have not gone out to eat since that New Year's hot pot outing three weeks ago. Basically, life has sucked.
Original and crabmeat foldable egg sandwiches
Chicken karaage
Now that I've been back at work for just over a week, I decided to celebrate the return of my tastebuds with my co-worker by ordering lunch from Tamago Jirou. They specialize in "foldable egg sandwiches," so we got two of the crabmeat sandwiches (crabmeat with homemade creamy sauce, spicy mayo, egg, and lettuce) and two orders of the karaage because they were both on BOGO specials, as well as the original sandwich (homemade creamy sauce, egg, teriyaki sauce, onion, corn, and cheese) because it's their signature dish (and also we were just super hungry and feeling ambitious).
Surprisingly, we both liked the crabmeat sandwiches significantly more the original — the sandwich was loaded with crab meat tossed in a tangy, creamy mayo that had a hint of yuzu which made it fresh and addictive — but the toasty, fluffy bread pockets are positively delightful, and the fillings are abundant. But what really surprised us was how good the karaage was — all dark meat (which I prefer), juicy and tender on the inside, crispy and well-seasoned on the outside, served with a wedge of lemon and the aforementioned yuzu-tinged mayo. An extremely successful first "dining out" meal after COVID. I will absolutely be ordering from Tamago Jirou again because I obviously need to go through their entire sandwich menu now.
