These are typically made with shokupan, a Japanese milk bread that can be hard to find stateside. Pillowy white sandwich bread works, too.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 4 slices Japanese milk bread, crusts removed

  • ½ cup sliced strawberries

  • ½ cup peeled sliced kiwi

  • ½ cup mandarin orange segments

  • ½ cup halved seedless grapes

Directions

  1. Beat cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. Spread 1 side of each bread slice with whipped cream. Arrange fruit pieces in a diagonal row on 2 of the bread slices, working from 1 corner to the opposite corner. Fill in the areas on both sides of the row with remaining fruit pieces, cutting to fit as necessary. Top with remaining bread slices, cream-sides down. Tightly wrap sandwiches in plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

  3. Remove plastic wrap. With a serrated knife, carefully cut sandwich in half diagonally, slicing through the diagonal fruit row.

Cook's Notes:

Use 2 cups total of any fresh fruit you like.

You can use any soft white sandwich bread.
