Strawberry Jam Sandwich
いちごジャムサンド
By Aoi, licensed nutritionist · From a Japanese preschool lunch menu
This is about as simple as a snack gets: soft white sandwich bread with a layer of strawberry jam, pressed together and cut into small pieces. In Japan, jam sandwiches like this are a familiar afternoon snack (oyatsu) at preschools, and children love the sweet, fruity filling and the soft bread. Cutting the sandwich into small, easy-to-hold pieces makes it manageable for even the youngest eaters and keeps sticky fingers to a minimum.

Values are per serving (1.5× the Japanese preschool portion); an adult serving is double. They were calculated by a licensed Japanese nutritionist using the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan. "Salt equivalent" is sodium × 2.54, the standard Japanese measure. Allergen flags cover egg, milk and wheat only and come from the nutritionist's records. Soy sauce and miso are made with wheat but are usually allowed on Japanese wheat-free school menus, so check with your doctor.
