Fall is here! Let’s make some hot sandwiches!

■ Nori + Perilla + Whitebait + Cheese

Layer chopped nori, perilla shreds, boiled whitebait, and cheese between buttered bread and grill it in the hot sandwich pan. The key is to balance your sandwich makings well and not to add too much.

■ Canned Mackerel + Onion + Mayonnaise

Drain the brine from the can and flake the mackerel. Add chopped onions, mayonnaise, salt and pepper, and a pinch of grated garlic (optional) into the flaked mackerel, and mix well. Add the mix between bread and grill the sandwich in the hot sandwich pan.
If you are cooking at home, you can lightly microwave the chopped onions. If you are cooking outdoors, chop the onion well but don’t add too much to the sandwich, and grill it thoroughly and slowly. If you don’t like canned mackerel, you can use canned tuna instead.

■ Pumpkin Salad from the Deli

Just make a pumpkin salad that you can buy at the supermarket or convenience store into a sandwich and grill it. It’s so delicious! Add raisins or honey if you like. Adding cheese is also quite delicious.

■ Tomato + Cheese + Basil

This definitely is a must-try recipe. Ingredients are sliced tomatoes, cheese (preferably mozzarella), and fresh or dried basil. Add salt, pepper, and a little olive oil, and grill the sandwich in the hot sandwich pan. It can be called a margherita sandwich.

■ Sausage + Shredded Cabbage + Spicy Miso + Mayonnaise

Add spicy miso and mayonnaise to your favorite sausage and shredded cabbage. Spicy miso can be gochujang or minced meat seasoned with miso. Spicy miso elevates the taste that adults would like more than just using ketchup.

■ Canned Yakitori with Tare Sauce + Cheese + Lettuce

Layer canned yakitori, torn lettuce, and cheese between the bread and grill it. Add mayo if you want. It is a tasty teriyaki style sandwich.

■ Red Bean Paste + Butter

This combination is my guilty pleasure. Delicious food is always made of sugar and fat.

■ Blueberry Jam + Cheese

Add blueberry jam and cheese to make a sandwich, and grill it. The balance of sour, salty, and sweet is excellent.
