Big, American-style deli sandwiches?

I don't know if any of you have any recommendations, but is anyone aware of any good spots that sell big, American-style deli sandwiches? I'm talking about ones with loads of deli meat (turkey, ham, salami, etc.) and veggies on good quality bread. I used to love King George Deli in Daikanyama when I'd be in Tokyo, but they've unfortunately closed down.

    I visited Harry's Sandwich Company in Shibuya. His fare hits the spot with authentic fillings. And you get to hang out and chat with the sandwhich-master.

    @TonetoEdo that sounds like a really good spot, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, I have none to add. If I think of somewhere though, I'll be sure to add it.

    @TonetoEdo Just looked them up and their sandwiches look great! Also looks like they do Philly cheesesteak and meatball subs! Thanks for the tip, putting it on my list!

    I just remembered...I visited BUNK SANDWHICHES (they appear shouty on Google Maps) at Kashiwa no Ha Campus. The shop originated in Oregon. I had an excellent Cubano there.

    @TonetoEdo Looks like they have a few branches too, including one in Odaiba!

    @genkidesu They're really good sandwhiches but I wouldn't say "big".

What are you watching and where are you watching it!?

For many years I have been a member of Amazon Prime. I signed up to and pay for it for the "free" delivery and I like that much of Prime TV is then "free" too. However, in recent years, Prime TV hasn't been great. So I now pay for Netflix monthly and I find it very reasonably priced. But its not always easy to pick what to watch! What are you watching, where are you watching it and would you recommend it?

Grocery budget 2024?

How are you managing your grocery budget, for a single or a family? I'm finding my buying power for a single is diminishing, but I'm doing okay, cooking nearly all my meals and dining out infrequently. After going over my receipts, I'm still averaging 30,000 yen a month on groceries. For reference, I'm well outside Tokyo in a Chiba suburb. Have you had to change your grocery budget considering the rising prices?

Japanese YouTube channels for interesting topics?

Are you listening and watching Japanese YouTubers who present interesting and quality content? I'm hooked on world traveler Bappa Shota, who treats global issues with great sensitivity. Although he appears to speak a few different languages, most of his narration is in Japanese. Which Japanese YouTubers do you recommend for interesting and insightful content?

Do you have a My Number card?

I never got one - long story, possibly for a blog post! But I am just curious did you get one? From March you can use a My Number card as a driver's license. This interests me so I am now considering getting one. Pros / cons?
