Hotto Motto's Negi Shio Gyutan Bento

Hotto Motto, known for its convenient takeout bento options, is currently operating 2,427 locations across Japan as of June 2025. Recently, they launched a new product, the Negi Shio Gyutan Bento, available since July 23, 2025. To delve deeper into what makes this dish special, the company conducted a survey among its store managers nationwide.

Survey Overview

The survey targeted 13 managers from various Hotto Motto locations, gathering insights on the best aspects of the Negi Shio Gyutan Bento. The managers were asked to select their top two recommendations from a set of choices. The survey took place from July 24 to July 28, 2025.

Product Details

The Negi Shio Gyutan Bento features tender slices of gyutan (beef tongue) characterized by their thin cuts and delightful texture. Prepared with a premium gyutan-specific sauce that blends black pepper and garlic, the dish highlights the beef's rich umami taste. On top, they drizzle a fragrant sesame oil-infused chopped green onion dressing, creating a perfect contrast with crunchy green onions, resulting in a bento that's simply irresistible. Accompanying the gyutan are a spicy Chili Namban, simmered with soy sauce and koji, and refreshing bean sprout namul, ensuring sustained flavor enjoyment until the very last bite. For those who crave even more, the W Negi Shio Gyutan Bento, which features double the gyutan, is also on offer.
