Spaghetti Sandwhich

こんばんは！

Not a full post but I couldn't wait to tell you all about the spaghetti sandwich I had today at Mitsuwa. Whenever I go for a meal, I typically get something really Japanese-y of course...unagi-don, soba, etc etc. However, there is a stall there called Italian Tomato which has the Japanese-fied version of some of your Italian favorites. Spaghetti with cod roe, spaghetti with eggs, you know normal Italian/Italian American specialties. I've always been curious about the Japanese interpretations of dishes familiar to me and so I begrudgingly walked past the ramen noodle and yakisoba stalls to pick up something funky. Italian Tomato was really really crowded so I settled for a roll filled with spaghetti and sauce from the bakery next door, St. Honore.

Now, who the heck goes- "You know what would be great? A starchy roll filled with starchy noodles covered in tomato sauce- awesome.". I have no idea what possesses someone to 1. do that and 2. eat it often enough to make it a fairly popular dish.

The result? It tastes EXACTLY what you think a roll filled wth mass produced spaghetti and sauce would taste like. It wasn't awful or anything but it was odd and I got about 3/4 of the way through before abandoning it for my delicious UFO (like a...sweet roll which some cream in the center and a cruncy sweet topping- delicious but does not remind me of UFOs at all).

Mitsuwa trip= some really good posts on the way!
