In an exciting development for bento enthusiasts, Hotto Motto has announced a fresh take on its popular 'Makunouchi Bento.'
As of the end of February 2026, the company operates 2,426 locations across Japan, ensuring fans have easy access to their favorite takeout meals. The revamped bento will hit stores on April 1, featuring two new variants: the 'New Makunouchi Bento (Tofu Hamburger with Vegetable Teriyaki)' and the 'New Makunouchi Bento (Grilled Beef).' Prices for these delicious options start at 690 yen, although this may vary depending on location.
Innovation Meets Tradition
The updated version of the 'Makunouchi Bento' retains the satisfying variety that loyal customers have come to love, while also introducing a healthy balance of meat, fish, and vegetables. Customers will have the chance to choose between the fluffy tofu hamburger and the hearty grilled beef as the main protein of their meal.
In addition to these new mains, the bento includes a delightful array of side dishes, offering a feast for the senses. Signature items like crispy fried chicken, grilled mackerel, and chikuwa tempura come together alongside traditional accompaniments such as daishi tamagoyaki, simmered vegetables, and a refreshing mix of komatsuna and fried tofu dressing. Each bento is carefully crafted to ensure a colorful and nutritious eating experience, making it ideal for various dining occasions – be it lunch at the office or a family gathering.
