Tuna and Fish Cake Sandwich Toast

Submitted by Pearl Ishizaki

"This sandwich toast has a delicious tuna-mayo filling combined by my favorite Japanese fish cake called chikuwa. I gave this sandwich toast a distinct tang taste by using Japanese ginger. This sandwich toast is also filled with cheese which really goes well with the tuna and fish cake."
