Introducing Fortunato Bento: A Unique Culinary Experience
Tomiya Shoten, located in the vibrant area of Tomigaya, Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to launch the extraordinary 'Fortune Bento' on June 24, 2026. Collaborating with the renowned Yoyogi Hachiman Shrine, known for its blessings of the arts, this specially crafted bento aims to blend the enjoyment of food with spiritual fortune.
What is Fortune Bento?
Offered at a price of 2,700 yen (tax included), the 'Fortune Bento' is more than just a meal; it is an experience meticulously designed to nourish the body and the soul. This limited-edition bento features a unique combination of delicious dishes and an omikuji fortune from Yoyogi Shrine, giving diners an interactive way to connect with Japanese culture.
Customers can enjoy the benefits of this culinary treasure through either in-store pick-up, or the convenience of home delivery, making it accessible for all. This product not only targets domestic customers but also aims to provide an enriching cultural experience for international visitors to Japan.
A Feast for the Senses
Upon opening the hexagonal box, diners will discover an array of colorful Japanese side dishes alongside a fortune slip. The act of eating becomes a meditative experience as patrons engage in 'food, prayer, and the receipt of words'—transforming lunch into a special moment of fortune.
What’s Inside the Bento?
The contents of the 'Fortune Bento' include:
- - Rice: Specially cultivated Koshihikari rice from Saitama Prefecture.
- - Tender Roast Beef: Marinated wagyu beef served as a centerpiece.
- - Salmon: Grilled red salmon flavored with marine salt.
- - Fried Delicacies: A blend of fried pickled ginger and chicken with miso.
- - Croquettes: White miso croquettes with a touch of Chinese pepper.
- - Taiwanese Style Tofu: Seasoned with star anise.
- - Special Dessert: A limited edition sweet shaped like a cat, inspired by the shrine's feline residents.
- - Various Side Dishes: A careful selection of seasonal accompaniments.
All of this is elegantly packaged in an original hexagonal box, enhancing the visual appeal of the bento.
The Fortune Slip
Each 'Fortune Bento' comes with a specially supervised omikuji, crafted under the guidance of the Yoyogi Hachiman Shrine's head priest. Unlike ordinary fortunes, this unique version features 50 different types of fortunes, including the rare 'Great Divine Good Fortune'. Each omikuji includes:
- - Today's lucky ingredient and its benefits
- - A fortune ranking (from Great Divine Good Fortune to Bad Luck)
- - A famous saying from a revered historical figure chosen by the head priest
This one-of-a-kind bento encapsulates an unprecedented union of eating, prayer, and insightful words, making it a standout culinary offering.
Concept and Vision
The 'Fortune Bento' embodies the concept of disseminating Yoyogi's blessings in a bento. For over seven years, Tomiya Shoten has strived to connect people, the community, and the heart through food, just a stone's throw away from Yoyogi Hachiman Shrine. This latest initiative serves as a heartfelt tribute to the patrons, combining delicious food with good wishes, fostering positivity and joy in their lives.
