Isshiki Matcha Introduces Japanese Sandos: A New Twist on Matcha Pairings

At Isshiki Matcha, we believe matcha should be experienced, not just sipped. That’s why we’re always exploring delicious ways to elevate every moment you spend with us, whether it’s in our café or on the go. Today, we’re thrilled to share something new: the arrival of Japanese sandos at Isshiki Matcha.

A Fresh Flavor Drop

In January, Isshiki Matcha added a playful and savory twist to the menu with the launch of traditional Japanese sandwiches, lovingly known as sandos. These beautifully crafted handhelds are the perfect partner for your favorite matcha drink, bringing a fresh balance of texture and taste into every bite.

Available in five delicious varieties including classics like egg salad and other chef-curated flavor combinations, our sandos celebrate simplicity, quality, and that satisfying harmony of soft bread and flavorful filling. They’re casual enough for a midday break and elegant enough to make any matcha moment feel special.


Matcha Moments Elevated

You already come to Isshiki Matcha for vibrant ceremonial-grade matcha drinks, from creamy classics to refreshing iced lattes and now, you can pair those drinks with a savory sando for a more complete café experience. Sandos have quickly become the go-to choice for guests looking for a light lunch, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a simple treat alongside their matcha ritual. 

Whether you’re craving a matcha latte paired with an egg salad sando or in the mood to mix and match flavors, there’s never been a better time to explore your perfect sip-and-snack pairing.

Designed for Community

At its heart, Isshiki Matcha is about bringing people together, friends meeting for a chat, creatives finding inspiration while sipping matcha, or neighbors stopping by for something delicious on their way through NYC. The introduction of sandos is part of our ongoing mission to create meaningful moments and thoughtful food experiences around matcha.

In true Isshiki style, these menu additions are crafted with care and served with a warmth that makes every visit feel like more than just a coffee run.
