TOKIYO! Sandwiches Hamburg specialises in handmade shokupan sandwiches from Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße 73. The soft Japanese-style bread provides the foundation for a focused menu that includes savoury fillings such as tonkatsu, with hot sauces available to customise the bite.

Pastrami sandwiches

At Simple Sandwich Weidenallee, the familiar sandwich is treated as a substantial meal rather than an afterthought. The Eimsbüttel shop builds handcrafted modern classics on fresh bread with juicy fillings. At six centimetres high, its sandwiches sit closer to a full meal than a modest snack. Pastrami is a natural draw, while Korean pork belly and grilled cheese broaden the choice without diluting the focused concept.

The casual format works equally well for a quick solo lunch or a relaxed family meal, with dine-in, takeaway and delivery available. Friendly, fast service keeps the experience approachable, and coffee or homemade lemonade can round out the order. Grilled cheese is especially worth eating on site.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of pastrami meals can I find in Hamburg?

The choices include dedicated pastrami sandwiches, pastrami coleslaw bagels and a pastrami-with-wine format. The wider lunch selection also includes custom-built bagels, focused sandwich meals and vegan alternatives that may help when ordering for a mixed group.

Should I choose a pastrami sandwich or a coleslaw bagel?

Choose sliced bread when the pastrami itself is your priority and you want a direct sandwich format. A coleslaw bagel adds a different bread style and a specific topping combination, making it a distinct lunch rather than a minor variation.

Can I get a pastrami sandwich for takeaway or delivery?

Takeaway and delivery are explicit options among the sandwich-focused choices, while bagel takeaway is also represented. Because pastrami may be one item within a broader menu, confirm both the item and your preferred ordering method before travelling.

Are there pastrami options suitable for a group lunch?

Bagel catering is available among the listed service formats and can suit workplace lunches or informal gatherings. Ask whether pastrami is included in the catering selection, how far ahead the order must be placed and whether individual customisation is available.

What should I confirm before travelling for pastrami?

First decide whether you want a sandwich, a pastrami coleslaw bagel or a sit-down pastrami pairing. Then confirm that the specific item is currently offered and that takeaway, delivery or dining in matches your plans.
