Have you ever had a hot sand or a fruit sand?
These are āsandsā I learned about in Japan. At first, I really wondered what those could be and I still grapple a bit with the terms. āSandā is just the abbreviated form for sandwich. So, a fruit sand is a fruit sandwich and a hot sand is a hot sandwich. If you look at the menu below, youāll see āHOTSANDā listed as an item. Though I now get the term, my mind still reflects on hot sand at a beach before thinking about it as a food item.
What comes to your mind when you hear the term?
Iām fine with having a warm sandwich but another thing Iām trying to wrap my mind around, is having fruits with bread. I often see family members eat bread and bananas but itās not my thing to do. Having bread with kiwi, strawberries, orange and so on is something Iām really not accustomed to. I really love fruits but I donāt want to have them with bread.

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love fruits. Somehow my palate has been reluctant to have a fruit sand. I recently bought two to share with the family. They had them and said they were okay. My intention was to give it a try but I was really full at the time and they have a short shelf life. So, Iām yet to try them but my family had these below:
