Finally tried a bento shop I’d been interested in for only like,,,,,,,, four years? Immediately, I appreciated the biodegradable container—so rare in Japan!—and it was such nice homestyle cooking, with a great balance. Stir-fried pork, tamagoyaki, ninjin shirishiri (Okinawan-style shredded carrots stir-fry), extremely garlicky eggplant, komatsuna greens with bonito flakes and myoga ginger, kabocha squash, mixed pickles, and rice with okaka (bonito flakes in soy sauce—very soul food flavors for Japan). Everything was fresh and tasty, especially for the price and volume, and they have all kinds of other dishes I want to try!
