After watching "The Lonely Gourmet" the day before and seeing Inogashira-san enjoying the yakiniku so deliciously, I had decided to definitely eat yakiniku the next day. I splurged on a Kalbi bento for 3,300 yen. I also love the meat Yazawa that is next to it, so I often eat there. I bought tea as well and decided to enjoy it on the Shinkansen. I was a bit worried about the smell, but the person in the seat across the aisle was also eating a bento, so I figured it was okay. In the past, out of the 6 pieces of Kalbi, there would usually be one that wasn't as good, but this time, all the meat in the bento was exceptional. I had the most wonderful and happy time... Thank you, Jojoen...

I also eat the yakiniku bento from Seryo every few months, but this time when I bought it, I noticed that the design and material of the container had changed. In fact, the functionality of the Seryo yakiniku bento box is unique and stands out from other pre-made boxes. The Seryo yakiniku bento is often referred to as "celebrity location bento" and is very popular, although it is considered expensive. However, it is not exceptionally delicious in terms of meat quality, more like average. It also doesn't quite meet the barrier of being delicious even when cold. But it sells like crazy, which is the essence of business. This time, I tried the cheapest option, the "cut-off pieces for 2700 yen" and the "kalbi bento for 3100 yen" and had some thoughts about it. Both good and bad. But Seryo, a heavyweight in the yakiniku industry, is truly impressive in its achievements and track record, even with just one yakiniku bento. Thank you for reading until the end. If you enjoyed this review, please like, follow, and save the restaurant. Thank you.

I purchased three bentos for a guest staying at a nearby hotel as a special treat, costing 11,000 yen in total. I thought I could use my Suica card since the hotel is right next to Tokyo Station, but it turned out I couldn't. The staff explained that there are certain stores where Suica cannot be used, without showing any remorse. I wandered around the Depachika at Daimaru to buy some souvenirs for the guest while waiting for the bentos to be ready in 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it seemed like none of the stores in the Depachika accepted Suica either. When I returned to pick up the bentos, the same staff member handed them to me without a smile or making eye contact. I couldn't help but wonder if the taste of the 11,000 yen bentos justified their high price compared to the more common 1,000 yen bentos.

This is a review of a high-end yakiniku bento sold at the Daimaru underground food market in Tokyo Station, Hoppe Town. During the four-day weekend, I stopped by to buy dinner bento on my way back from a trip to Tokyo. Among the bento boxes available at this market, the thinly sliced beef bento for 2,100 yen and the kalbi bento for 2,900 yen are pre-made, while the premium sirloin and fillet bento boxes in the 4,000 yen range are made to order and take about 15 minutes to prepare. Normally, I would opt for the cheapest thinly sliced beef bento, but since I didn't go on a trip during this long weekend and ended up not spending much money, I decided to splurge and ordered two "premium sirloin bento" for 4,100 yen each. After paying in advance, I was given a red chip with a number written on it. I wandered around for about 10 minutes and when I returned, my order was already prepared. It was a good decision to return early. I hurried back home and opened the bento right away, and it was still slightly warm. On the right side, there were 5 slices of what looked like delicious beef, totaling about 120g, laid on top of the rice. The kimchi and other sides on the left side were the same as the ones in the cheaper thinly sliced beef bento. When I tried it, the large piece of Japanese beef was undeniably delicious. The quality of the meat itself was carefully selected, and the sauce was also tasty. It was a taste that made both beer and rice go down smoothly. However, as a frugal person, I couldn't just be happy without reservation. When I thought about it calmly, with 8,000 yen, I could buy around 400-500g of Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef, or Miyazaki beef. If you don't mind the extra effort, it might be better to go for those options. The honest impression is that while it is delicious, it is expensive, leaning more towards "delicious but expensive" rather than "expensive but delicious".

The shop located in the basement of Daimaru Tokyo offers freshly made bento boxes. While regular Kalbi and Roast bento boxes are cooked elsewhere and brought in for sale, the special bento boxes are cooked to order, so you can enjoy tender meat right away! I ordered the special Roast bento box and it was truly amazing. It had such high-quality marbling that it almost felt like Kalbi. The meat was not too fatty, but had a good balance of lean meat. The kimchi side dish was also delicious. However, it has a strong smell, so be careful if you plan to eat it on the Shinkansen as it might spread the smell around!

Before boarding the Shinkansen, I quickly ordered a bento from the Shinagawa Prince Hotel store of Jojoen, but they told me it would take some time. Too bad! I should have made a reservation. I asked where I could buy a Jojoen bento at Tokyo Station, and I was directed to DAIMARU Tokyo store. I purchased a Kalbi bento and a thinly sliced beef bento, which were available immediately. They mentioned that the Filet bento and others would take about 20 minutes. I was very satisfied with the quick purchase! With less than 30 minutes until boarding the Shinkansen, I hurriedly made my way through the station and caught a glimpse of a bento shop selling Jojoen bento! I was surprised to see that they were selling Jojoen bento there too! But I was glad I bought it at DAIMARU store! The salesperson stood motionless like Osaka's Kuidaore Taro while we were choosing, which was strangely intriguing, but the bento was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

I purchased bento boxes from Meat YASUZAWA and mainly from Seryo for my children as souvenirs. I tried the Filet bento from Seryo and compared it with Meat YASUZAWA for dinner. Both were delicious and hard to choose between. Seryo was quite tasty, with meat seasoning that goes well with rice. It might be the classic flavor of yakiniku. If you come across it in Nagoya, give it a try.

On this day, due to various circumstances, I bought a bento box for dinner on my way home from work. It seems like I've been buying bento boxes more frequently lately. I was getting tired of the options inside the ticket gates like Gransta or Echika, so this time I headed to Tokyo Station Daimaru Hoppetown on the Yaesu side. Among several meat bento shops including Meat Yazawa, I ultimately chose the bento from a high-end yakiniku restaurant. They had about 4 types of bentos available, with the beef sliced bento priced at 1800 yen and the kalbi bento at 2700 yen being ready-made, while the premium sirloin and fillet bentos priced in the 4000 yen range needed to be made to order, taking about 15 minutes. I chose the 1800 yen thinly sliced beef bento. The deciding factor was not the waiting time, but the price. If I bought enough for my whole family, it would be too expensive even though it's not a special occasion. It seems to be the most popular choice at this shop as well. I took the bento and headed back to Kamata on the Keihin-Tohoku Line. The smell of the yakiniku sauce was a bit noticeable. I managed to bring it home safely and opened it for dinner. The meat was placed slightly towards the center, with the rice soaked in the sauce visible around it. On the other hand, the space on the right side with kimchi and other items was completely sealed with transparent film. Without this film, the smell would have been even stronger. I poured the attached sauce over the meat and tried it, and it was indeed delicious. I can't say for sure, but the quality of the meat seemed to be around A4 grade Japanese black beef. The sauce was slightly sweet, but without the typical urban gas smell often found in store-bought sauces, making it a refreshing flavor. The rice soaked in the sauce was also tasty. Thanks to the complete seal, the kimchi and other items remained fresh. Overall, it was very delicious. Lastly, I tried the Glico grape mint tablet that came with it. The thoughtful attention to detail, such as the "odor eliminating gum," was impressive, as it is said to be the original store of this concept.

Before you know it, you'll find yourself wanting more rice (laughs). Definitely give it a try!

There is a meat section in the Ho-ppe Town on the basement floor of Daimaru Tokyo store. I found delicious-looking grilled meat bento boxes and bought two for dinner, one with thinly sliced beef and the other with kalbi. Both bentos had a good weight to them, promising a satisfying meal. I took out the packs of kimchi and other sides from the bentos, warmed them up in the microwave for a bit, and enjoyed the meal. The thinly sliced beef on a bed of rice had a rich beef flavor and was very delicious. The kalbi was generously piled on top of the rice, and the meat was tender and paired well with the rice. It was a luxurious and satisfying dinner.

I feel like I can hear voices saying it's terrible to leave my wife and children at a hotel while I have dinner with friends, but I chose a nice hotel and made sure my wife's main meal was a Chateaubriand bento from Meat Yazawa. I tried to be considerate. As a side dish, I bought a 3-piece Kimchi assortment for 600 yen. The Kimchi assortment includes Kimchi Kakuteki, Oiki Kimchi, and Kimchi with a good balance of flavors. There is not much fermentation taste, but the Kimchi has a good richness without the unpleasantness of artificial seasoning. The spiciness is just right, showing the stability of a long-established brand.

The "Hire Bento" for 4,600 yen (tax included) is a famous shop that almost everyone knows. When you open the box with instructions to eat cleanly and easily, you are greeted by a strong presence of meat. The delicious smell of the meat arouses your appetite and gives you a moment of superiority on the Shinkansen train. However, as soon as you open the pack of kimchi, the stares become uncomfortable. The special sauce-coated grilled fillet meat is thick yet incredibly tender, allowing you to fully enjoy the sweetness of the meat. The "Bento Sauce" is light and refreshing. The accompanying "white kimchi" is finished with a special broth, providing a gentle and soothing flavor for a perfect side dish. A satisfying and delicious bento box experience!

I work in Marunouchi, so I use this place regularly. I often buy lunch here during work breaks or before boarding the Shinkansen for business trips. I really love the Kalbi bento here. It's a delicious Kalbi bento with just the right amount of rice, and the kimchi that comes with it is also very tasty. There's also a Breath Care candy included, which is very refreshing. The yakiniku sauce is also delicious. The meat is very tender and tasty. It was a very delicious meal.

It's a company lunchtime gathering with bento boxes instead of a formal party.

As expected, the bento from Sushisenn is delicious with tender meat. Enjoyed it very much!

Thinly sliced beef grilled bento box (1600 yen)

The meat was tough. I bought a 1800 yen bento box, but the meat was tough and disappointing. I managed to get through it with the taste of the sauce and the kimchi on the side. I think I should have eaten at the restaurant after all. Thank you for the meal!

I only bought kimchi! It was a kimchi with a strong garlic flavor (>_<) Not to my liking.

I often go shopping here.
