Bento takeaway The most popular Bento "Nori-Bento"!! We call "Noriben"!!


Do you know "Nori-Ben" ? 

 


This is a typical Nori-Bento which is the most popular Bento in Japan because it's delicious at an affordable price. This is 390 Yen(tax excluded). I guess It is ideal Bento for backpackers and budget-travelers because you can consume a lot of nutrition. 

Please try Japanese rice! Especially the rice called Koshihikari is high quality and delicious with sweet. A supermarket or convenience store has an eating area with a microwave, so you can enjoy your tasty and warm Bento.

 


★ Trivia ★

The model of "Nori-bento" is the "Nori-okaka Bento" that was popular in the home in the 1950's. It's like a cat's food as sprinkled bonito and soy sauce on top of white rice. Everyone ate when there was no school lunch. When first Hokka Hokka Tei store was opened in 1976, they released it as a "Nori-bento".

 


 

 ☆Let's take a look at the popularity ranking!!☆

◆ 1st place " Hotto Motto " (41.5%)


The amount of fried white fish is bigger and you can choose the taste of the sauce(premium sauce or dashi soy sauce).

The price is 330 Yen(tax included). It's quite affordable.


◆ 2nd place " Hokka Hokka Tei " (24.8%)



In fact, the standard style of "Nori-Bento" was made by Hokka Hokka Tei which is a take-out bento chain store. Other stores are imitating it.

The price is 360 Yen(tax included). It's quite affordable. 


◆ 3rd place " Origin lunch " (16.2%)




It's a good value because Tartar Bento contains two pieces of fried white fish, and the size of the chikuwa is large at a very cheap as 297 Yen(tax excluded).


◆ 4th place " Honke Kamadoya " (12.5%)



The fried white fish is so delicious with a soft and fluffy texture. it is affordably priced but would fill your stomach.　

The price is 330 Yen(tax included). 


◆ 5th place "Other" (5.1%) 


Due to the influence of COVID-19, an increasing number of people are refraining from eating out and using take-out. Also, in recent years, each bento chain has been particular about the taste of rice, so you can enjoy various options. 

I like Hokka Hokka Tei. The menu is abundant, and the standard menus such as "Karaage bento," "nori bento," and "shake bento" are my favorite. Unlike snacks and desserts, considering that bento is a "meal", I think that low price, safety, appetite, and a sense of stability are important.

The Global Love Affair with Japanese Culture #1

I t’s not uncommon to encounter people on platforms like YouTube and other social media who, surprisingly, have a deeper love for Japanese culture than many Japanese themselves. Among the aspects they are most passionate about are Japan’s entertainment offerings, such as manga , anime , and movies. The term “ otaku ” has even gained recognition overseas, and many people proudly refer to themselves as otaku. Interestingly, the word “otaku” originally had a  negative connotation  in Japan during the 2000s, used to describe middle-aged men who were enthusiasts of  computers, idols, or two-dimensional anime . However, with the widespread use of computers and smartphones, the term has taken on a positive meaning, referring to “ people who are deeply passionate about something ” or “ those who are highly knowledgeable in a particular field .” One reason for this reevaluation of otaku culture is the phenomenon of Japan’s  manga, anime, movies, games, and cosplay  gai...
