Strawberry and orange sando

Sandwich --> sandoichi --> sando.

        "How do you know how much of this to use?"

We watched the Japanese lady spread this on each slice. That is how much we will use. Estimate for one slice and use that amount for both whipped cream and Philadelphia cream cheese plus a little extra, then spread it on both. Notice the second woman piles it in the middle and smears it to the edges that are eventually trimmed. The other videos do not follow this simple technique. They smear it evenly. They fail to trim off the crust. 

Look, if you going to copy the Japanese, then copy the Japanese. 

I think Japanese use 50% Fontina but I am not sure.

Japanese sando are made with Shokupan, their milk bread made with scalding water that gelatinizes the starch in flour causing the bread to retain moisture. Cut thickly.

I am using my own bread. Others use Texas toast. 

It is a matter of technique. 

Whipped cream is too light so that is made heavier with more substantial cream cheese.

The Japanese bread is pillowy and sweet while having significant chew, very different from foamy American Wonder bread. 

The sandwiches are wrapped tightly and chilled weighted for at least twenty minutes. 

Weighted. Smashed. The whole idea is to squish them and chill them in place. 

Obviously this is not a sandwich designed for its nutritional value. It is Japanese. It is designed to be cute.

So, sing a little Japanese song the whole time you are making these. You are not being a nutritionist, you are not being a chef, you are not even being a good parent, rather, you are being a girl, so put on a skirt, tie your hair into pigtails, sing your Japanese song and be a little Japanese girl making flowers out of fruit sandwiches. Who would even think of this?

A Japanese girl!

Hearts, flowers, whipped cream, sweet white bread; are you getting it yet? This isn't real food. This is girl food for a girl's tea party put together by girls being girls. For success, then tap your inner girl. 

        "I ain't got no inner girl." 

Then tap your inner idiot. 

And when you buy one of these sandos from a machine then you get only 1/2 a sando. 

What a rip off!

But it is not a real sandwich. It is a girl's tea party treat.

        "Did it taste good?"

"Oh man, I ate the whole thing. 

Video does not show how the filling is made. Video shows women working as team assembling these sandwiches. Goes too slowly. Speed X2 is good, or skipping does not miss anything.
