Spring has come! It may be too early to say "spring has sprung," but with the weather continuing to be so sunny, it's hard not to be aware of the arrival of spring. Spring means picnics. And when we think of picnics, we think of sandwiches . . So, here is an event that is perfect for that kind of mood.
The "Sandwich Upstairs" cafe in the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo has teamed up with HOUYHNHNM's well-known "COTTON PAN" to hold a one-day event on Sunday, February 18. The name of the event is "Nikai no PAN Matsuri" ("Upstairs PAN Festival").
In addition to selling staff T-shirts ordered from "Cotton Pants," a favorite brand of the staff, there will be a silk-screening demonstration by "Cotton Pants" designer Hikari Watanabe from 11:00 to 17:00. This may be a good chance to get a freshly made T-shirt!
In addition, a limited number of "Cotton Buns," a special menu item available only for the day, will also be available. The sandwich is inspired by the story in which the sandwich appears and "Cotton Buns," and is packed with the specialties of both brands, making it a beautiful, voluptuous, masculine sandwich.

The theme of these sandwiches is the "aesthetics of layering," a concept shared by COTTON PAN and the sandwiches on the second floor. Spicy chicken, egg, sour cabbage, and crisp apple . . When these unusual combinations are layered, beauty is born.

Layers of classic sandwich ingredients such as crispy, trained lettuce, top quality mustard, cucumber, tomato, ham, and cheese, cut with a well-cut knife. . a tribute to the hard-boiled stories in which the sandwich appears.
These two sandwiches have unique and impressive names, but they are not overshadowed by their names. . We hope you will enjoy them with a big mouthful while thinking about the background of each sandwich.
On the day of the event, there will be a gallery displaying past archives of "Cotton Bread" and a coloring booth for children to enjoy as well. Let's get a head start on spring with food and art!
