百聞は一見にしかず｜Seeing is Believing

厚焼き玉子のサンドイッチは前から認識していたけれど、パサパサしたイメージがあって敬遠していた。しかし今回せっかくだからと思い頼んでみた。お待たせしましたと出てきたモノはボクの想像とは別物だった。出汁でふっくらした玉子が厚切りのパンに挟まれている。パンにはマスタードとデミグラスソースが片方ずつに塗ってある。精一杯大口を開けるけれど、到底入らない。ほのかなマスタードの香りとプルプルの玉子。ああ、百聞は一見にしかず。頼んでよかった。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）
I had been aware of the thick-grilled egg sandwich for a long time, but I didn't like it because it had a dry image. However, I ordered it because I was in Kyoto where it is famous. The staff brought it with saying thanks for waiting, and it was quite different from my image. Eggs plump with soup stock were sandwiched between thick slices of bread. The bread was coated with mustard and demiglace sauce on each side. I opened my mouth as hard as I could, but I couldn't get in at once. A faint mustard scent and a plump egg were in my mouth. Oh, seeing is believing. I was glad I asked.
