For those who love pork cutlet sandwiches
A classic Ginza souvenir that has been popular for nearly 100 years
Ginza Bairin's original "fillet cutlet sandwich"
When you open the box, you'll find four fillet cutlet sandwiches lined up neatly. One box of the original fillet cutlet sandwiches costs 1,200 yen. 
Crispy yet moist. You'll understand the harmony once you try it! We recommend ordering at the Ginza main store, waiting for it to be made, and taking it home fresh. 
This wrapping paper also has a story. It was created in collaboration with artist Hayashi Hidemaro, depicting a cute pig geisha playing the shamisen, and was named after "Chintonshan," a rare pig beauty, by Ichiryusai Teijyo V, a storyteller who was a friend of the first store owner. The original colored paper is still on display behind the cash register at the Ginza main store.
Ginza Bairin is a long-loved Ginza restaurant. It was founded in 1927 as the first tonkatsu specialty restaurant in Ginza. It has become a familiar sight to see people of all nationalities lining up at the Ginza Bairin Building on 7-chome.
The original owner, Nobukatsu Shibuya, created the flavor that is now known as "Umebayashi Tonkatsu" with his originality and inquisitiveness, such as by creating bite-sized cutlets, which are fillet cutlets that are easy to eat, and by utilizing his knowledge as a former pharmacist to create a special medium-thick sauce for tonkatsu, made with apples and onions to thicken it.In addition to the original sauce, the restaurant also uses carefully selected domestic pork, including Kagoshima's black pork, breadcrumbs that create a beautiful "sword-shaped" shape, and an original blend of oils based on cottonseed oil for frying.The restaurant's attention to detail and attention to detail have supported its unwavering popularity for nearly 100 years.
The original "fillet cutlet sandwich" has become synonymous with Ginza souvenirs. It first appeared in 1930. It was created in response to a customer request, and is still handmade to order at the Ginza main store.
The bread used for the sandwich is freshly baked and very soft right after it arrives from the factory, and if they were to coat the freshly fried cutlet in sauce and put it between the bread, the bread would get crushed, so they deliberately let the bread sit for a day and then let the freshly fried cutlet cool in a tray before coating it with sauce. This is what creates that fluffy and moist, wonderful harmony between the pork cutlet and the bread.
First, admire the beautiful cut of the pork fillet cutlet sandwich, which fits perfectly in the box, and be enchanted by the delightful texture of the cutlet and bread. The sauce is sweet and not too heavy, and delicious. This stripped-down perfection stands out precisely because it's simple!
The wrapping paper, featuring the store's mascot, "Chintonshan," is also tasteful. It's a timeless Ginza souvenir that makes a great gift and a delight to receive.
