"Cheese-loving gratin-style sandwiches" were released on December 22 at Ministop stores in the Kanto and Tokai areas. The price is 350 yen (tax included).

This is a sandwich of macaroni seasoned with white sauce sandwiched between bacon, onions and plenty of cheese in British bread. When warmed, the cheese melts and you can enjoy the "taste of eating gratin".

I'm attracted to the name "I like cheese". I've always loved cheese and gratin since I was born in this world, so I bought it right away!

● Warm in the microwave

There are two sandwiches in one set, so I decided to warm one with a microwave and the other with a toaster before eating.

First from the microwave. If you try a little chin at 500W for 1 minute ...

The cheese really melted! The cheese topped on the top and the cheese that should have been calm between the breads caused a great flood with macaroni and bacon and overflowed. When you stretch it, the richness of the hot cheese and the mellow sweetness of the white sauce fill your mouth. The accented pepper tightens the taste.

The macaroni is cut into small pieces of about 1 cm, and it has a nice texture. In addition, the bread became moist and soft by chinning, but the ears still have a firm chewy texture.

● Warm with a toaster

Next, warm the bread with a toaster so that it does not burn.

The cheese sandwiched inside does not overflow and is enduring. Instead (?), The cheese topped on the top started to dance! When I took it out after warming it up, it seemed to be plump overall ...?

When I tried it, the bread was crispy and fluffy. The aroma of wheat, combined with the slightly burnt aroma of cheese, creates a synergy of deliciousness! Although the cheese hasn't flowed out, it melts in the bread and mixes with the white sauce, giving it an increasingly creamy and rich taste. Also, the flavor of the fluffy mayonnaise may have improved.

● Toaster is more delicious

I personally prefer to warm it with a toaster because the bread is crispy, the cheese on the top is chewy, and the cheese inside is thick. The deliciousness (especially the texture) of the bread when warmed was superior, and I felt more "gratin-like".

It's quite satisfying to eat, so I wonder if 350 yen is quite expensive. If you like cheese and a little extravagant reward sandwich, why not give it a try?
