Since its establishment, Hotto Motto has expanded to an impressive 2,426 locations nationwide as of August 2025. Recently, they launched the 'Onsen Tamago Yakitori Tsukune Bento' on September 11, garnering significant attention among food enthusiasts. To delve deeper into the highlights of this dish, we conducted a survey among 12 store managers across the country to determine their top recommendations.
Survey Overview
The survey targeted 12 male and female managers from Hotto Motto outlets across Japan. The participating managers were tasked with selecting two standout features of the 'Onsen Tamago Yakitori Tsukune Bento' from a given list. Conducted from September 12 to September 16, 2025, the feedback provided insightful perspectives on this dish's appeal.
Product Highlights
The 'Onsen Tamago Yakitori Tsukune Bento' brings together expertly grilled yakitori, made from high-quality chicken thigh, charred to perfection over high-temperature charcoal. This method locks in rich flavors while achieving a delectable char. The dish also features tsukune, ground chicken mixed with cartilage for a delightful blend of tenderness and crunch. Topped with a soy-based sauce that elevates both the grilled chicken and tsukune, this bento box is truly irresistible. Additionally, the dish is complemented by a soft-boiled onsen tamago that adds a creamy texture, enhancing the overall flavor and making for a satisfying meal.
The menu also includes options like the 'W Yakitori Tsukune Bento' (double the meat) or the 'Umadare Yakitori Tsukune Bento' without the onsen tamago.
