Chermside Sandwich, which first opened in Hiroshima City in May 2021 and gained popularity as a top sandwich shop in the area, has expanded to Tokyo. After opening its flagship store "Chermside Sandwich Harajuku Takeshita Street" in December 2024, the brand has continued to grow with franchise locations in Kanazawa, Osaka Namba, Shibuya, and Kyoto Arashiyama. Now, the company is opening a second Harajuku location right next door to the Takeshita Street shop.
Gourmet Baguette Sandwich Specialty Shop to Serve More Customers
As Chermside Sandwich celebrates its one-year anniversary on Harajuku's trendy Takeshita Street, the brand is launching its second location in the adjacent commercial building. The new shop occupies two floors, with one floor featuring a terrace. In addition to popular items like the "Meat Box" with 300g of Japanese beef hanging tender and the "Omelet Box" with six large domestic eggs, the Harajuku second location showcases Chermside Sandwich's specialty:
Rare in Japan, this gourmet baguette sandwich specialty shop prepares each sandwich to order with careful attention to detail.
Delivering the Best Baguette Sandwiches in Perfect Condition
The most important element of a baguette sandwich is the baguette itself. Chermside Sandwich uses custom baguettes developed in collaboration with two renowned bakeries: "La Baguette" in Higashi-Shinjuku, which specializes in baguette production, and "Shinshindo," Kyoto's most famous bakery.
After many trial batches, they perfected a baguette that's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, making it very easy to eat.
The type of baguette varies according to the sandwich filling. Each baguette is rebaked in a toaster after ordering, and the ingredients are prepared fresh to serve warm, freshly-made baguette sandwiches.
The shop offers dine-in and takeout options, as well as delivery and advance orders.
On nice weather days, it's perfect for a picnic at nearby Yoyogi Park or Togo Shrine, or enjoying your sandwich on a bench.
The baguette sandwich lineup will gradually expand to a total of 15 varieties.

About Chermside Sandwich
CHERMSIDE SANDWICH opened in Hiroshima in May 2021.
The owner lived in Australia for five years and was impressed by the restaurant-style sandwich shops there, which prepare sandwiches to order rather than selling pre-made items as is traditional in Japan. Inspired by the desire to serve the best sandwiches in the best condition, CHERMSIDE SANDWICH was born.
