Survey Overview

- Survey Period: November 25-26, 2025

Product Introduction

The Large Shrimp Tempura Bento perfectly pairs the beloved flavor of “Nori Bento” with the exquisite texture of large shrimp tempura. This bento box features rice topped with katsuobushi (bonito flakes) and nori (seaweed), accompanied by generous portions of both large chikuwa (fish cake) tempura and two pieces of succulent shrimp tempura. Enhanced by a sweet soy-based sauce, the shrimp tempura's natural flavor and delightful texture are elevated, making each bite a joy. The bento also includes a colorful assortment of traditional side dishes, such as kinpira (stir-fried burdock root), komatsuna and fried tofu salad, and a rolled omelet, bringing a rich taste of Japanese cuisine to every meal. For those seeking even more satisfaction, a separate option of the Large Shrimp Tempura (two pieces) is available for an additional purchase.
