Introduction
We have seasoned two types of rice from Niigata Prefecture, known as one of the most famous rice regions in Japan, soy sauce rice and edamame rice.
"Nanban miso" with edamame rice is characterized by its refreshing spiciness and can be enjoyed as it is or with rice.
For the simmered dishes, we use maitake mushrooms from Niigata Prefecture, as well as mochi and silk pods that have a chewy texture to create a colorful finish.
In addition, the contents are rich with local foods such as “salmon no yazuke” and “sasa dango” that have been popular in Niigata prefecture for a long time, and local sauce “Tarekatsu” in Niigata city.
Please take this opportunity to savor the "Famous Niigata bento" that is particular about Niigata's ingredients and local cuisine.
Ekiben lover Shinobu Kobayashi's comment
A Matsukado-style bento that contains two types of rice, a stewed dish, a grilled dish, and a deep-fried dish.
Local dishes such as Kurumafu and salmon simmered, while making the most of their rustic taste, have a deep taste, which is exactly the taste. Please try the taste of Niigata rice.
