OCM has served Kokura since 1978. The shop is upstairs in the Uomachi area and is easy to miss from street level. Orders can be eaten in or taken away, and queues are common around lunch.
How ordering works
Choose two fillings from the menu, then select toasted or soft bread. The price is generally based on the higher-priced filling, but the current menu at the shop controls. The house original sauce with chicken is a familiar first choice; egg, shrimp cutlet, fruit and cream cheese create very different combinations.

Best time and useful etiquette
- Visit before the main lunch rush if your schedule is tight.
- Decide a backup filling because popular items can sell out.
- For takeaway, eat soon so the bread and vegetables keep their texture.
The portions can be substantial. Sharing different combinations is useful for first-time visitors, while solo travellers may want one sandwich before continuing through central Kokura.
