Hotto Motto, the popular takeout bento chain known for its diverse offerings, is set to unveil an exciting new seasonal menu starting March 4, 2026. This menu will feature the luxurious "Seafood Tempura Bowl" priced at ¥690, alongside four other enticing variations: the "Premium Seafood Tempura Bowl" at ¥890, the "Seafood Tempura Bowl with Egg" at ¥750, the "Mini Mochi Seafood Tempura Bowl" at ¥630, and the "Seafood Tempura Bento" for ¥750.
The highlight of the new bowls is the exquisite combination of seafood and vegetables. The "Seafood Tempura Bowl" showcases six different tempura varieties: three types of seafood and three types of vegetables. Diners can expect two succulent shrimp, tender squid, and a new addition to the lineup—crispy horse mackerel. The vegetables include sweet potato, crunchy lotus root, and vibrant snap peas, providing a colorful and delightful eating experience.
To cater to regional taste preferences, the flavor of the tempura sauce varies across Japan. In the eastern regions, a blend of two types of soy sauce paired with distinct katsuobushi delivers a refreshing taste profile. In contrast, western Japan enjoys a richer sauce created with a blend of delicious seafood stocks combined with a dark soy sauce, resulting in a subtly sweet flavor.
In addition to the basic "Seafood Tempura Bowl," there are options to suit different appetites. The "Premium Seafood Tempura Bowl" is a more filling alternative that includes five shrimp, while the "Seafood Tempura Bowl with Egg" sees all tempura ingredients simmered in a mild sweet soy sauce and enveloped in fluffy egg. There’s also the "Mini Mochi Seafood Tempura Bowl," featuring mochi barley that strikes the perfect balance between portion size and satisfaction. For those who prefer their side dishes separate from their rice, the "Seafood Tempura Bento" offers a practical and enjoyable option.
