Tabelog ratingsandria Honten (サンドイッチ工房 サンドリア 本店) is a Sapporo institution: a takeaway-only sandwich workshop that operates 24 hours a day. Its signature is the bread — exceptionally soft, slightly sweet, and always crustless — packed with generous, homemade-style fillings. It’s a go-to for locals and visitors looking for a quick, satisfying meal at any hour.
Guests consistently praise the wide variety and high quality. The star of the show is the Double Egg, a three-layer sandwich overflowing with creamy egg salad. Other popular choices include fried options like the corn-cream croquette and teritama (teriyaki chicken and egg), as well as seasonal fruit sandwiches, such as the highly sought-after Yubari melon. Reviewers often describe them as the best sandwiches they've had in Japan, perfect for breakfast on the go or a late-night bite.
The shop's popularity means you should be prepared for queues, especially at peak times, with waits of 10–30 minutes not uncommon. The shop itself is tiny, allowing only a few customers inside at once. While the fillings are generally praised, a few reviewers have found some of the fried items, like chicken or shrimp, to be a little dry on occasion.
Value is a major draw. With a typical spend under ¥1,000, it offers excellent cost-performance. Reviewers recently paid around ¥300 for a Double Egg sandwich, ¥340 for a Teritama, and ¥350 for an Ebi Mayo (shrimp and mayonnaise). A filling meal of two sandwiches often costs less than ¥700.
