Subway Japan, now managed by WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT, has made waves with the announcement of its latest menu items set to hit stores early next year. Starting January 8, 2025, and running until March 11, 2025, the sandwich chain will offer two exciting new sandwiches: the "Crispy Cream Cheese Basil Chicken" and the "Crispy Cream Cheese Chili Chicken." These creations mark the first time Subway will toast cheese on its bread, creating hot, delicious sandwiches meant to warm patrons during the chilly winter months.
For those intrigued by these new offerings, it’s important to note the specifics. Each sandwich will feature Subway’s newly introduced "cheese bread," topped with two types of cheese sauce—Gouda and cream cheese—that delivers both richness and smooth texture. The basil chicken will shine with its aromatic flavor enhanced by the cheese sauce, creating a delightful taste sensation. Meanwhile, the chili chicken is expected to pack some heat, featuring spicy chicken marinated with chili and habanero, crafted to pair beautifully with the cheese. Priced at 590 yen for regular sizes, both sandwiches promise to tantalize the taste buds of Subway enthusiasts across Japan.
But that's not all! The company is also introducing exciting specials for the Setsubun holiday, including the "Ehomaki Subway" and the "Chesse Ebi Avo." The "Chesse Ebi Avo," which consists of the popular Ebi Avocado sandwich topped with cheese, will be available from January 27 to February 2, 2025, for only 1100 yen. Subway fans are encouraged to indulge during this special period.
For more traditional celebrations, the Setsubun special will cater to those wanting to embrace the custom of eating Ehomaki during this holiday, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The new menu items and holiday offerings reflect Subway's dedication to innovatively blending traditional Japanese customs with its modern sandwich-making techniques.
Another exciting aspect for fans is the launch of the "Subway 2025 Lucky Bag." Available for purchase starting December 26, 2024, this lucky bag includes 3080 yen worth of sandwich and potato tickets for just 3000 yen, making it not only a fun product but also economically sound. Adding to the allure, the lucky bags will contain exclusive gym bags and mini-figures of six varieties related to Subway’s menu items, produced by Bandai, adding collectible value to each bag.
Overall, Subway Japan is striving to create enriching experiences with its new sandwiches and holiday specials. The introduction of toasting cheese at every location adds to the excitement and elevates the dining experience, something both new and longtime customers can look forward to. This initiative reaffirms Subway’s commitment to bringing flavorful, warm, and unique options to satisfy the needs of its patrons.
Subway Japan has been catering to the nation since it entered the market back on March 25, 1992. By offering custom-made sandwiches daily, the establishment developed its reputation as one of the go-to chains for freshly baked bread and high-quality fillings. Now, with the growth of its menu and continual innovation, Subway proves it is committed to meeting the preferences of its customers, blending globally recognized flavors with local tastes.
