Chef's Tips
For extra flavor, toast the bread lightly before assembling the sandwiches.
If you don't have Kewpie mayonnaise, you can substitute regular mayonnaise and add a pinch of MSG for a similar taste.
Add thinly sliced cucumber or avocado for extra texture and flavor.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the tuna mixture.
