To commemorate Ginza Nishikawa‘s one-year anniversary, Interstellar is teaming up with the renowned Japanese bakery to offer a limited edition Menchi Katsu Sando. This delectable creation will be available for one day only, on Tuesday, August 1st, exclusively for pickup at Interstellar’s restaurant location in Santa Monica.
