When traveling to Hokkaido, one of the biggest joys is enjoying the local food. Among the many Hokkaido specialties, the sandwiches from “Sandoria,” a 24-hour sandwich shop, are currently in the spotlight.

One of the main reasons Sandoria has been beloved by locals for over 40 years is its affordability and large portions. On average, Sandoria’s sandwiches are priced around 270 yen, making them quite reasonable. Despite the low price, the sandwiches are packed with plenty of ingredients, providing great satisfaction.

The Most Popular Item is the “Double Egg Sandwich”

Sandoria is also famous for its wide variety of menu items! With 20 to 30 different types of sandwiches always available at the shop, you’ll have a hard time choosing what to buy. The most popular item is the “Double Egg Sandwich.” A must-try for egg lovers, this sandwich is filled with soft, fluffy omelets, offering simple yet substantial goodness. There are also seasonal and limited-quantity items available, so it’s recommended to go early in the morning to snag these before they sell out!

Anyone Can Propose a New Product Idea

One unique initiative at Sandoria is that anyone can propose a new sandwich idea. Locals and tourists alike can submit ideas for sandwiches they’d like to see on the menu. If your idea is selected, it might even be turned into a real product! You can submit ideas on Sandoria’s official website or at the store. Why not take a chance and make it part of your travel memories?

The main Sandoria shop, located near Nakajima Park, is open 24 hours a day. Following their policy of “never running out of products,” they continue making sandwiches around the clock. No matter what time you visit, the shop is always bustling with customers, and on holidays, there’s often a line. Since it’s close to the bar district of Susukino, many people stop by for a sandwich as a late-night snack after drinking.
