Tsukiji Shoro "Shoro Sando

Have you heard about the popular "Shoro Sando" from the egg omelet specialty restaurant Tsukiji Shoro? A thick omelet with dashi broth is sandwiched between two pieces of moist bread to make an exquisite sandwich.

It was introduced on TV as a favorite of Ainosuke Kataoka, and both Matsuko and Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, who ate it, praised it as delicious. Try it and you will understand why it is so popular.


The soft, wheat-scented bread is soft and moist to the touch. Sandwiched between the bread is an omelet that is twice as thick as the bread. When you bite into the layers of egg, you can feel the "tolurun! The soup stock trapped inside the dish begins to overflow with a pleasant texture.


Connecting the omelet and bread is a smooth, rich mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is also delicious. It's not sticky, and it doesn't mask the flavor of the broth or the bread's savory notes!

I tried to recreate Tsukiji Shoro's egg sandwich "Shoro Sandwich"!

The components of the Shoro Sando are very simple, consisting only of "omelet, bread, and mayonnaise," according to the ingredients list. Incidentally, as for the bread, when it was introduced on TV, the waiter at Shoro said, " We use Donk bread.


Then, if I can get the same ingredients, I may be able to make a "Shoro-style" egg sandwich myself! So I took on the challenge, and - as it turns out - I found that I could make something reasonably close to what I was looking for. Donk bread is amazing.

What to prepare

Donk's "Refreshing Dining Table" bread
4 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons men-tsuyu (2X concentrated)
*If triple concentrated, reduce a little.
Mayonnaise to taste
oil to taste

The bread from Donk uses "Sawayaka na Shokutaku" (I asked the clerk at Shoro to confirm this). Note that the 8 slices I wanted to buy were sold out, so I prepared 6 slices this time.

Also, the tamagoyaki of the Shoroku sandwich can be finished with plenty of dashi (Japanese soup stock). However, it is a little troublesome to make dashi by yourself, so we use "men-tsuyu", a strong ally of the home cook.

How to make it

1. add sugar and mentsuyu to beaten eggs and mix


2. cook thickly-baked eggs in an omelette to the same size as the bread.


3. Spread the desired amount of mayonnaise on the bread, and cut off the left and right mimics.


4. put an omelette between two slices of bread, cut in half, and you're done!



To make a beautiful omelet, I think it is a good idea to spread a thin layer of oil on a piece of kitchen paper each time you fold it over so that the egg does not stick to the baking dish and fall apart.

The breadcrumbs you cut off are a waste, so please enjoy them as French toast, rusks, and so on.

Degree of "Shoro Sandwich" style reproduction

Naturally, the elasticity of the omelet and the juiciness of the broth cannot quite match the taste of the pros, but it turns out that you can make something reasonably close by relying on Donk bread and mentsuyu.


After making the dish, I noticed three things

1. mayonnaise should be mild in sourness and aroma

That way, it goes well with dashi-flavored omelet. For example, the author recommends "Real Mayonnaise" from Best Foods. Its clean taste and smooth texture make it perfect for sandwiches.

2. 6-7 eggs are required to get close to a real pineapple sandwich

To make an omelet as fluffy and thick as the omelet in a shoyu sandwich would require 6-7 eggs (maybe more?) in addition to skilled baking techniques. The If you don't want to compromise, be prepared to use a pack of eggs.

Incidentally, the omelet for the Shoro-style sandwich I made this time is cut in a different direction from the real thing. If you cut it in the same direction, it is not thick enough.

3. 8 slices of bread is close to the real thing.

In this case, I used 6 slices of bread, but the real bread is thinner, probably 8 slices. One of the characteristics of the Shoro sandwich is that the egg is thicker than the bread, so using 8 slices of bread will give the egg more presence and make it closer to the real thing.


That is all from the field. You can make it with ingredients you have at home, except for the bread from Donk's, so if you want to try a Shoro sandwich but don't have time to go out and buy one, or don't have a place nearby to buy one in the first place, I hope you'll give it a try!
