Fresh Summer Delight

As summer rolls in, Origin Tohshu Co., Ltd. is set to launch a tantalizing new dish: the Chicken and Eggplant with Black Vinegar Sauce. This limited-time offering is ready to hit the shelves on June 2 at 10 a.m. and is sure to become a seasonal favorite.

A Perfect Pairing

The Chicken and Eggplant with Black Vinegar Sauce brings together the beloved combination of crispy fried chicken and seasonal eggplant. Carefully selected summer vegetables—including crunchy onions and vibrant bell peppers—are perfectly coated in a unique black vinegar sauce. This sauce is crafted by blending different types of vinegars and adding apple juice, striking a delightful balance between sweetness and acidity. The moment you open the container, an appetizing aroma fills the air, awakening your taste buds.

For those with a hearty appetite, there’s also the Stamina Chicken and Eggplant with Black Vinegar Sauce option that includes crispy fried dumplings. This is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a satisfying meal!

About Origin

Origin Bento was established in 1994 as a unique store offering a variety of deli-style dishes that customers can choose themselves. The emphasis on in-store cooking ensures that meals are freshly prepared daily with utmost care and attention.

In February 2014, Kitchen Origin opened in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The product lineup remains the same as Origin Bento but features a more inviting and comfortable design, particularly for female customers. Some locations even offer eat-in corners, allowing guests to enjoy a meal on the go or to relax between errands.

With over 40 types of bento, including made-to-order and pre-prepared options, each store offers an array of choices including rice balls and salads packed with seasonal vegetables. Every day, customers can discover new favorite dishes that brighten up their meals.

Commitment to Quality

The founder of Origin often expressed a desire to create meals that customers wouldn’t tire of eating every day. With roots in the local community, the company operates as a "home kitchen substitute," helping to support families' daily eating habits. Their goal has always been to contribute to customers’ well-being by providing safe, delicious options that highlight the flavors of the ingredients used.

Every morning, the staff prepares dishes on-site, upholding a commitment to freshness that remains a cornerstone of the brand's philosophy. The dedication to quality ensures every meal served is as satisfying as a dinner cooked at home.
