Big, American-style deli sandwiches?

I don't know if any of you have any recommendations, but is anyone aware of any good spots that sell big, American-style deli sandwiches? I'm talking about ones with loads of deli meat (turkey, ham, salami, etc.) and veggies on good quality bread. I used to love King George Deli in Daikanyama when I'd be in Tokyo, but they've unfortunately closed down.

    I visited Harry's Sandwich Company in Shibuya. His fare hits the spot with authentic fillings. And you get to hang out and chat with the sandwhich-master.

    @TonetoEdo that sounds like a really good spot, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, I have none to add. If I think of somewhere though, I'll be sure to add it.

    @TonetoEdo Just looked them up and their sandwiches look great! Also looks like they do Philly cheesesteak and meatball subs! Thanks for the tip, putting it on my list!

    I just remembered...I visited BUNK SANDWHICHES (they appear shouty on Google Maps) at Kashiwa no Ha Campus. The shop originated in Oregon. I had an excellent Cubano there.

    @TonetoEdo Looks like they have a few branches too, including one in Odaiba!

    @genkidesu They're really good sandwhiches but I wouldn't say "big".

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
