Echo Park's Japanese counter sandwich shop — egg salad that makes every other sandwich feel like a rough draft
Konbi brought the Japanese convenience-store sandwich — tamago sando, katsu, seasonal fruit — to Echo Park and found an audience that was clearly waiting for it without knowing it. The egg salad sandwich is the entry point: Japanese milk bread, perfectly seasoned egg salad with a soft-set yolk center, trimmed into a rectangle with the precision of something that took significantly more thought than a sandwich has any right to require. Akira Akuto and Nick Montgomery run the counter with attention to every detail, and the pastry case changes seasonally, so there's always something to revisit.
