I got an Obentou of Aoyama-gozen at Ginza Mitsukoshi department store.

The fancy Obentou was packed into multitiered boxes with a pink wrapping cloth.
It was filled in 2 boxes, one was rice and other was a main dish anda side dish.
The colorful and pomp-filled appearance provided us thatspring has come.
And, of course everything tastes as good as it looks.

The rice dish was cooked with shredded sea bream.
The rice was cooked with fish stock that made very sophisticated flavor.
And, flower-shaped carrots, ginkgo nuts and sliced thin eggs were beautifully decorated on the rice.

There were put a lot of vegetables and fish for the main dish and the side dish.
It was the very healthy and low-calorie Obentou.

The boiled variety of the vegetables dish was consisted of a eddoe, a squash, a carrot, peas, a bamboo shoot and a burdock root.
And, there was teriyaki fish fillet.
Also, other side dishes were a grilled eggplant with miso, boiled egg, a ginger shoot and a boiled shrimp.
Finally, I had a hanami-dango that was a skewered three-colored rice dumpling for dessert. (Hanami is cherry blossom viewing.)
