Ahinama Cuban Sandwich & Coffee (Ueno)

The Cuban sandwich I've always wanted. The atmosphere is great. It's delicious and surprisingly filling.

Arriving in Tokyo, I visited this Cuban sandwich shop for a quick, late lunch. I was very satisfied with my meal. They put pork on a long bun, add toppings, and heat it in a hot iron pan to create a sandwich that's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The place is incredibly small, so you'll have to sit at a small table (or two) and eat quickly before leaving, or eat outside or get it to-go. The sandwiches are delicious, so I highly recommend eating there. They also have Cuba's original mojito, and it paired perfectly with the sandwich. Highly recommended! Even though it was well past mealtime, there was still a long line of people waiting. I'd love to come back again for another bite during my trip!

I had been wanting to try this Cuban sandwich shop, so I went there for lunch before going to the art museum. It looked like it was quite high in calories, but it was incredibly delicious. The owner was friendly and easygoing, but he also did his job well, which left a good impression. The only downside was that the shop was small.
