"Miyagi Tiger Fugu"

At the largest farm in Japan with the latest equipment that uses the clean water of nature in Michinoku, we used plenty of "Torafugu" grown as a local specialty. In addition, vegetables from Miyagi Prefecture such as shiitake mushrooms, carrots, burdock roots, eggplants, and zunda decorate the area.

Under the supervision of Mr. Shinobu Kobayashi, the taste was finished in a beautiful "Ryotei class".

"Boso Emaki"

It has been handed down as a "feast" for ceremonial occasions and local gatherings since ancient times, and it is a lunch box of "Takimaki sushi," which is a local dish of Chiba Boso. By using seasonal ingredients for prepared dishes and seasonal designs on Futomaki sushi, you can produce the four seasons of Chiba Boso.

Under the supervision of Mr. Shinobu Kobayashi, "Dora bento" is a fun and handmade taste of Boso.
