Have you ever tried a “fruit sando?” Directly inspired by this post from local content creator @noraeatsgood, I didn’t hesitate to accept the quest to try one for myself.
What is a fruit sando?
It’s a Japanese dessert sandwich — Furūtsu Sando — consisting of white milk bread, whipped cream, vanilla custard, and fruit. The playful treat has become a trendy staple found in Japanese convenience stores like 7-Eleven.
Where can you find one in Richmond?
Canopy Bobaluxe on Short Pump Road. The shop is next to Tazza Kitchen, about a five-minute drive from the Short Pump shopping mall. The menu offers fruit cream sandos with strawberries, mangoes, or grapes. I ordered the strawberry one with a brown sugar boba drink, which @noraeatsgood also spotlighted in her post.
My one takeaway after trying out the fruit sandos at Canopy: I’m going to have a new attitude next time I run a day’s worth of errands in Short Pump. Actually, two takeaways: I should turn my post notifications on for @noraeatsgood.
