The Ashina bento shop has been selling homemade Japanese boxed meals, called obento, here at the Gumyoji Shotengai shopping arcade since 1978!
Bento are single-portion take-out meals that are popular for lunches. They can be bought and taken back to your office or factory, enjoyed with little fuss, and require no heating, as they are prepared early in the morning and sold on the same day of preparation.
Bento boxes usually consist of rice with three or more side dishes of meat, fish, or egg, and a variety of fresh, pickled, or cooked vegetables. Ideally, you want to try to make the bento appear vibrant with colors of red, green, or yellow by using a wide variety of vegetables. As a result, the bento meal often includes the five flavors of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (savory).
Although many bento boxes sold at convenience stores are mass-produced in large factories, where they might be more likely to use some artificial coloring and preservatives, this shop takes pride in producing every meal onsite. Their meals are free of any artificial coloring and preservatives, ensuring freshness, full flavor, and a healthy meal.
This shop promotes their meals for elderly folks living alone, busy mothers and housewives, workers at local offices and factories, and more. They also sell side dishes that can supplement the family’s main dishes at the dinner table.
