Is This Sydney's Fanciest Sandwich? Sandoitchi Has Joined Forces with Vic's Meat to Create a Decadent Wagyu Sanga and Yes, We're Drooling Too
Diners can also sample a surprising dessert special featuring wagyu fat chocolate mousse fusing Japanese flavours with top-quality produce.
"Just f**k — never in my life have I had a sandwich like this before!"
While legendary butcher Anthony Puharich may have spent many an hour on the meat grinder in this time, he's certainly not mincing his words when it comes to the results of a collaboration that should have Sydney's sandwich lovers drooling.
The humble sanga is getting a gourmet glow-up courtesy of two Harbour City culinary heavyweights. Puharich – the acclaimed meat-smith behind Vic's – has lent his carnivorous expertise to Bhas Pureephat, the mastermind behind Sydney sandwich stalwart Sandoitchi. Together, the pair have crafted a sandwich that elevates the common lunch staple to an experience that will thrill even the most discerning palates.
Gastronomic flexes on everyday dishes are hardly a new concept. From top-tier tacos to burgers infused with gold leaf, fancy diner food are a common sight on menus across Australia and around the world. Puharich and Pureephat's contribution to this indulgent genre comes in the form of a Stone Axe fullblood wagyu tenderloin sandwich ($65). Boasting a marbling score of +9 courtesy of 500-day ration-fed cattle, this premium protein is generously paired with a rich and flavourful Yakiniku sauce and spicy wasabi mayo nestled between Sandoitchi's signature brioche roll. Puharich insists only the best is fit for their sandwich: "We've taken it to another level, by using the very best quality blood wagyu available in Australia."
But wait, there's more. The duo have also crafted a decadent wagyu fat chocolate mousse and fresh strawberry sandwich ($10) as a sweet and indulgent chaser for the savoury main course.
"It's truly exciting to bring this exceptional ingredient to life at Sandoitchi Café. Each dish is carefully prepared to offer a unique experience," Pureephat shares. "This is a rare opportunity for everyone to indulge in the very best of wagyu right at a local café—no reservations required." Puharich adds, "If you're going to have just one sandwich in your life, this is the sandwich to have!"
The Stone Axe fullblood wagyu tenderloin sandwich is available now at Sandoitchi in Darlinghurst and Chatswood Chase. Head to the Sandoitchi website for more details.
