This bento-box store is known for its big portions and small prices. On its takeaway menu, there is a solid selection of bento — including options with nori, curry, and also some special ones. Prices start from ¥350.
Plus, you can order separate side dishes (and toppings) to enjoy with your bento. These start for as little as ¥100 for korokke and miso soup.
