It's doubtful that I would say that the Japanese always cut the crust off on sandwiches. Nobody ever always does something. They certainly do practice crust cutting. Egg sandwiches and pork cutlet sandwiches are iconic in Japan. A pork cutlet sandwich with the crust still on probably means it was made at home or in America.
