I got this Bento Box at Hiroshima station. This is a Sushi Bento including Chirashi Sushi (scattered sushi) which is middle part of it.
Top the rice with the slices of renkons,eggs,a boiled shrimp,a matsutake-mushroom and salmon roe… I love Chirashi Sushi sooo much. It’s very healthy!

Bento Box is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. I got this Bento Box from Gransta at Tokyo station.
This is a delicious rice dish includes adding ginkgo nuts and mushrooms. The side dishes are salmon, boiled vegetables and rolled egg which are very healthy.

Different colored soboro are presented on top of the rice in a lunch box. Very tasty.

I went to Nagano on the Shinkansen last weekend. I had Ekiben(Daruma bento &
Kamameshi bento) both ways(going and coming) on the Shinkansen.
They were made with tasty riches from the mountains like bamboo shoot,
shiitake mushrooms, etc. It’s always fun to eat Ekiben on the trains.

Ekiben (Railway boxed meal) are a specific type of bento boxed meals, sold on
trains and train stations in Japan.
Ekiben containers can be very attractive: made from plastic, wood, or ceramic.
Many train stations have since become famous for their especially tasty ekiben,
made from local food specialties.
