Review of my actual experience visiting

I heard about the stall from an acquaintance on Wednesday, and I went there on Wednesday too.

It seems to be set up in front of the Nishinasuno Government Building on Wednesdays.

Ordered Menu and Price

Since it’s a naan hot sandwich specialty shop, I ordered three kinds of naan hot sandwiches.

Also, their “Ice cream tempura” is famous, so I ordered that too!

• Margherita (600 JPY)
• Cheese Curry Naan (600 JPY)
• Honey Cheese (600 JPY)
• Ice Cream Tempura (450 JPY)

Margherita

A Margherita-style naan hot sandwich—the ultimate pizza classic.

Overflowing with generous mozzarella cheese that stretched perfectly, it paired wonderfully with the chewy naan!

If I had to nitpick, I would have liked a bit more acidity in the tomato sauce, but it was very delicious.

Cheese Curry Naan

This one’s also overflowing with curry roux & cheese

The rich depth of curry and the golden duo of melted cheese were the best!

It’s more about richness and creaminess than spiciness, so it’s recommended even for those who don’t like spicy food!

Honey Cheese

This one was a dessert-style treat packed with honey.

The saltiness of the cheese and the sweetness of the honey were a perfect match!

It could be a bit sticky and messy to eat, but having wet wipes on hand solves the problem.

Ice Cream Tempura

Last up was the slightly unusual “Ice Tempura.”

The outside was freshly fried and crispy♪

Inside, a soft, fluffy coating gave way to a creamy, melted vanilla ice cream!

The warm batter and cold ice cream offered a delightful dual texture—crispy and melt-in-your-mouth—all at once.

The flavor of the fried batter paired surprisingly well with the rich vanilla, making the sweetness stand out even more.

This unique contrast is seriously addictive!

The atmosphere and service of food trucks

It was slightly larger than the food trucks I usually see, and it stood out clearly even from a distance.

The staff were kind and attentive, and when I asked about the menu, they answered with a smile.

From order to delivery, everything arrived in about five minutes.

Features & Usability of THE F44D

Here’s a quick look at the dining scenes and facilities at THE F44D.

Recommended for different occasions

The stall in front of the Nishinasuno Government Building was only open for lunch.

I think it was from around 11:30 to 13:30.

Perfect for a lunch break or dessert after lunch.

Cheese and honey are quite rich, so you may want to wash your hands and mouth after eating.

It’s a good idea to have wet wipes or similar items ready.

Facilities
