Sapporo Sandwich Shop: 24-Hour Operations Continue

The setting is a 24-hour sandwich shop in Sapporo City. With over 40 varieties of handmade sandwiches featuring ingredients like eggs, meat patties, and fruits, it has been beloved by locals for years. Women working at bars in Susukino, people buying breakfast for their families at 4 a.m., and hosts stopping by for a quick meal before work. Amid the pandemic, as more shops shorten their hours, what kind of people come to this never-sleeping sandwich shop, and what are they seeking? We spend three days listening all night long.
