The Subway Japan Anko & Mascarpone sub is a dessert-style sandwich that's formulated with the taste preferences of consumers with a sweet tooth in mind. The sandwich features red bean paste (anko) along with mascarpone cheese on a sub-style bread and also comes in an option with only red bean paste, if desired. The small dessert is much smaller than the brand's original sandwich varieties and measures in at three inches to make it a premium treat that's perfectly sized for dessert.
The Subway Japan Anko & Mascarpone sub is only available at participating locations in Japan, and is priced at 170 yen for the original version and 130 yen for the red bean-only option.
