【Tokyo Ginza - Café American】Start your morning journey with astonishingly thick sandwiches and a retro ambiance

Nestled in a quiet alley behind Kabukiza Theater, just steps from Higashi-Ginza Station, Café American is a long-standing establishment founded in 1983. Loved for over 30 years, its secret lies in its handmade sandwiches featuring bread slices over 5cm thick! Known for its unparalleled volume, this is the perfect "rewarding experience" to kick off your morning travels. 🌟 Highlights & Features - Freshly baked bread delivered every morning and noon. The "steaming hot" loaf is fluffy, chewy, and absolutely delicious. - The signature dish is the towering egg sandwich (around 900 yen), packed with more than a carton of eggs. Many diners say they can't finish it! A takeout box is thoughtfully included by default. - The interior is a "treasure chest" filled with the owner's memories and posters, covering the walls and ceiling. ⏰ Operating Hours & Location - Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30–10:30 / 11:30–14:00 (closes when bread runs out) - Closed: Weekends and public holidays - Access: A 2–3 minute walk from Higashi-Ginza Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Asakusa Line. Located in an alley behind Kabukiza Theater. ☕ Recommended Ways to Enjoy - Arrive early in the morning to experience the aroma and energy of freshly delivered bread. - Drinks like blended coffee or café au lait are around 800 yen and must be ordered as part of a set with a sandwich (guaranteed to fill you up!). - Sandwich options include egg, ham & tuna, pastrami, and more. The hearty lunch set also features beef stew. 👣 Travel Tips - Pair your visit with a cultural stroll around Kabukiza Theater and the Ginza area for a perfect morning start. - Takeout is available, making it ideal for a morning walk or a leisurely hotel breakfast. - Note: Cash only, non-smoking, and limited seating—be prepared for a short wait for a smoother experience. Discover the warmth and incredible portions hidden in Ginza's back alleys. Café American's hearty sandwiches and comforting atmosphere are sure to fill both your heart and stomach at the start of your journey.
