This dainty little breakfast sandwich is so Thé Adoré and so Japanese. Slices of boiled egg, tomato and cucumber adorn a tiny brioche. It’s unadulterated in its purity and simplicity. Don’t underestimate what seems plain and simple, though; the key to Japanese aesthetics is how the understated has a way of getting under your skin and staying there.
