Seafood Salad Sub Sandwiches

The Subway Japan Special Shrimp Sandwich is Packed with Seafood

— April 27, 2017 — Lifestyle
Available starting April 26 only in Japan, the Subway Japan Special Shrimp Sandwich is a scrumptiously packed sub that delivers a variety of different taste experiences. The sandwich features fresh shrimp that has been paired with an egg salad spread and bacon strips to create an unexpected taste that is distinctly different from what the brand traditionally offers.

Globalization has led to many brands fusing various recipes and foods together in different ways in order to introduce techniques and preparations to new markets. The Subway Japan Special Shrimp Sandwich is an example of this with a preparation style that is distinctly western and ingredients that are familiar fare in Japanese cuisine. The sandwich is also prepared with tomatoes, sliced peppers and onions on your choice of bread.
