This limited-time event at the JR Akihabara Station marks a unique opportunity for locals and tourists alike to savor authentic Edo flavors.
A Taste of Tradition: The Tokyo Makunouchi
Among the enticing offerings, the standout is undoubtedly the
Tokyo Makunouchi bento box, priced at 1,380 yen. This delightful meal features a stunning lid design showcasing iconic Tokyo landmarks like the Tokyo Tower and Kaminarimon. Inside, this bento masterfully captures the spirit of Edo with local specialties such as
Fukagawa-meshi, a clam rice dish considered a top local delicacy, and the
Sukeroku Sushi, inspired by Edo Kabuki, featuring inari and kanpyo rolls. Also included is the beloved
Ebi Tendon (tempura shrimp rice bowl) and
Anago-meshi (grilled eel rice). With a variety of flavorful dishes from chicken tsukune to succulent black wagyu, the Tokyo Makunouchi is a perfect representation of the region's culinary diversity.
Simple yet Satisfying: Tokyo Chibi-bento
The
Tokyo Chibi-bento series has also made its mark, especially the
Tokyo Chibi-bento Makunouchi priced at 1,026 yen. Despite its palm-sized dimensions, this bento packs a punch with its selection—approximately 25 different ingredients are showcased in this tiny delight. Designed to be filling enough for anyone, even men, it surprises diners with its variety and satisfaction.
Fun and Flavorful: Mini Nori-bento
Another treat, the
Tokyo Chibi-bento Nori Tama, priced at 1,080 yen, elevates the classic nori bento experience into a mini version! It features seasoned katsuobushi beneath the nori, topped with a generous serving of beloved tamagoyaki, grilled salmon, and roasted chicken, alongside popular sides such as kinpira gobo and tsukune. Each bite is an adventure filled with flavor and texture, making it a fun and delightful option.
Innovative One-Hand Onigiri
Adding to the excitement, the limited-time
One-Hand Onigiri is a game-changer in convenience, priced at 198 yen. This clever invention features a special packaging design for easy one-handed eating. The innovative structure allows consumers to enjoy their onigiri without the hassle of dealing with wrappers—simply pop the lid, and it's ready to eat! The fillings extend to the edges, ensuring that every bite is full of flavor. Available varieties include
Takana Mentai onigiri,
Salmon Fluff, and
Fukagawa Onigiri with clam rice, along with
Chicken Rice Onigiri garnished with minced chicken, providing a range of flavors at an accessible price.
