Age.3 GINZA’s fried sandwiches bring an all new texture
Of course, it’s the flavor that makes the wait worthwhile. The deliciousness that makes people want to eat it even after waiting for hours is the main reason for its popularity.
The texture is what really sets Age.3 GINZA’s sandwiches apart.
The sandwich bread is quickly deep-fried in high-temperature oil, resulting in a crispy surface. This texture enhances the presence of the fillings.
A slit is cut into the fried bread, then generously filled with ingredients—this is howw Age.3 GINZA’s fried sandwich is made.
They pile in the fillings without hesitation. The sheer volume will make you do a double take.
With one bite, you get the satisfying crunch of the bread, followed by the moist, smooth texture of the fillings. It’s this contrast that makes the shop’s fried sandwiches so delicious.
What to order from Age.3 GINZA’s array of fried sandwiches?
Age.3 GINZA regularly offers over 30 types of fried sandwiches, making it hard to choose just one.
They have a wide variety, from sweet dessert types to meal-worthy sandwiches filled with salad or grilled meat.
One especially popular choice is the “Creme Brulee” sandwich. The sandwich is filled to the brim with custard cream and is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Tap the caramelized sugar top with a spoon, then take your first bite with the custard.
The rich sweetness of the custard is perfectly accented by the slightly bittersweet crunch of the caramelized sugar.

Next, try a bite with the crispy bread for contrast.
Age.3 GINZA prides itself on the concept of everything being “freshly fried and freshly filled.” The bread is fried only after an order is placed, and the fillings are added immediately after.
This dedication to freshness results in truly exceptional flavor.
The smooth custard and whipped cream pair with the light, crisp bread to create a refined and luxurious taste.
For sweet options, the “Chocolate Cream Strawberry” and “Ganache Matcha” sandwiches are also recommended.
Made with the golden duo of chocolate and strawberries, the Chocolate Cream Strawberry features an exquisite rich chocolate cream that’s not overly sweet, adding depth to every bite.
The refreshing tartness of the strawberries and berry sauce is perfectly balanced, showcasing a meticulously layered flavor profile.

The Ganache Matcha features a less sweet matcha cream that brings out the natural flavor of the matcha.
It tempers the richness of the raw chocolate, keeping the taste from becoming too heavy.
The rich aroma of the ganache is further enhanced, making each bite a moment of pure indulgence.
