The description

This product is a French toast sandwich, and it's available from Gaston's Tavern at Tokyo Disneyland. The sandwich alone is 780 yen, but you can also get it in a set for around 1200 yen.


The good

This is a tasty sandwich for folks who like the combination of sweet and salty flavors together. Inside it's got chicken, béchamel sauce, and melted cheese, but there's also some sugar and maple syrup coating the sandwich. It might sound weird, but it actually all worked together pretty well! I was pleasantly surprised with how filling the sandwich was, as well. It definitely is filling enough to be a meal (for me, at least!) so the price of 780 yen didn't seem too bad at all when that was taken into account.


The not so good

A couple of downsides -- the first is that if you hear the words "French toast", you're probably expecting something completely sweet rather than sweet and savory. I think renaming it to just a toasted sandwich would be better from an expectation management standpoint. Second, I don't think a lot of folks even *like* sweet mixed with savory, and would rather it be one or the other. If that's you, don't get this! Overall I'd say it was okay, especially from the filling standpoint -- but I don't think I'd be purchasing this at Tokyo Disney again.
