In June of the second year of Reiwa, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. The original store, Imahan Honpo, was founded in 1895, and through various branch establishments, including Imahan Bekkan, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all of which are separate companies. This particular shop, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), which was established as a branch of Imahan Honpo, is selling bento boxes in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. The bento options include sukiyaki bento and beef bento, with differences such as the sukiyaki bento using cut-off beef belly meat, the beef belly bento using stacked belly meat, the sirloin sukiyaki bento using stacked shoulder loin, and the shoulder loin sukiyaki bento using 80g of meat, while the beef bento uses 70g of beef. The beef belly bento is not to my liking and was a one-time purchase. I find the stacked sukiyaki bento for 1944 yen to be the most delicious, but I don't particularly like boiled eggs, so recently I have been sticking to the boiled egg-free and cost-effective beef bento for 1296 yen. During the state of emergency, Mitsukoshi was closed for a long time, so when they reopened, I promptly purchased the beef bento at the Mitsukoshi main store. △(□) Beef Bento 1296 yen; Flavorful marinated beef, tofu, onions, konjac noodles, pickled ginger: It has a nostalgic feel and continues to maintain its traditional taste, which I find impressive. It has a safe and enjoyable taste without any disappointments. I plan to continue using it in the future.

In March of the second year of Reiwa, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento box shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. The original store, Imahan Honpo, was founded in 1895 and has since branched out into Imahan Bekkan, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all of which are separate companies. This particular shop, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), which branched off from the original Imahan Honpo, is selling bento boxes in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store. The bento boxes come in different varieties such as sukiyaki bento and beef bento. The sukiyaki bento and sirloin sukiyaki bento use thinly sliced beef, while the beef belly bento uses belly meat. The sirloin sukiyaki bento and shoulder sukiyaki bento have layers of meat, with the former containing 80g of meat and the latter containing 70g. The beef belly bento was not to my liking, so I only tried it once. I find the layered sukiyaki bento priced at 1944 yen to be the most delicious, but I don't particularly like boiled eggs, so lately I have been sticking to the beef bento without boiled eggs, which is priced at 1296 yen and offers good value. The female staff members consist of older and younger individuals who take turns working. The level of explanation provided by the staff can vary greatly depending on who you ask. The beef bento priced at 1296 yen consists of well-marinated beef, tofu, onions, konjac, and pickled ginger. It has a nostalgic and traditional taste, which I find impressive for maintaining its original flavor. It is a safe choice with no disappointments, and I plan to continue using their services in the future.

In March of the 2nd year of Reiwa, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento box shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. Founded in 1895, the original Imahan store is the origin, with branches such as Imahan Bekkan, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all separate companies. This shop is the Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.) that branched off from the original Imahan store founded in 1895, now selling bento boxes in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. Depending on the type of bento, the sukiyaki bento and beef bento differ in that the beef is cut into pieces, while the beef belly bento is layered with belly meat. The layered sukiyaki bento and loin sukiyaki bento are layered with shoulder loin, with 80g of meat, while the beef bento has 70g. The beef belly bento is not to my liking and was a one-time try. I find the layered sukiyaki bento for 1,944 yen to be the most delicious, but since I'm not a fan of boiled eggs, I opted for the beef bento without boiled eggs and with good cost performance for 1,296 yen. △(□) Beef Bento 1,296 yen; flavorful beef, tofu, onions, konnyaku, pickled ginger: It has a nostalgic feel and continues to uphold the traditional taste, which I think is amazing. It's a safe choice with no major flaws, and quite delicious. ★Service 3.2←3.1

In February of the 2nd year of Reiwa, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. "Imahan" has several companies, similar to the previously mentioned "Senbikiya," so I will touch on that a bit this time. The original source is the Imahan main store founded in 1895, and through norenwakes, there are Imahan Annex, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all separate companies. This is a bento shop at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi main store basement opened by Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), which was founded as a branch of Imahan main store in 1895. Depending on the type of bento, there are differences such as sukiyaki bento and beef bento, cut-off beef belly bento, layered sukiyaki bento, and loin sukiyaki bento. The beef belly bento was not to my liking and was a one-time thing. The layered sukiyaki bento for 1944 yen was the most delicious, and recently I have been repeating the layered sukiyaki bento a lot, but... Currently, the cost-effective beef bento for 1296 yen is following. △(□) Beef Bento 1296 yen; well-flavored beef, tofu, onions, konnyaku, pickled ginger: A safe and delicious taste without any misses. I felt a bit indifferent and slightly declining in the past, but this time it felt like it had recovered as before. The female staff this time didn't seem to be paying much attention. ★Taste 3.5←3.4, Service 3.1←3.5.

In December of the first year of Reiwa, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. "Imahan" is a company that has several branches, similar to the previously mentioned "Senbikiya," so I will touch on that briefly. The original Imahan main store was established in 1895, and through various branches and divisions, there are Imahan Bekkan, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all of which are separate companies. This shop is Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), which was established as a branch of the original Imahan main store in 1895, located in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. The bento options include sukiyaki bento, beef bento with sliced beef, beef belly bento with belly meat, shoulder loin sukiyaki bento, and loin sukiyaki bento, each with different amounts of meat. The stacked sukiyaki bento for 1,944 yen is the most delicious, but recently I have been repeating the beef bento for 1,296 yen, which offers good value for money. However, the taste seems to be slightly declining lately. The beef bento for 1,296 yen has well-marinated beef, tofu, onions, konnyaku, and pickled ginger. It has a safe and decent taste, but this time the appearance seemed a bit sloppy, and the taste may have dropped slightly. Overall rating: 3.6 (down from 3.7), taste: 3.4 (down from 3.6).

In November of the first year of Reiwa, the long-standing sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento shop in the Mitsukoshi basement. "Imahan" is like "Sembikiya" mentioned before, with several companies under its name. The main store was established in Meiji 28, and from there, branches such as Imahan Annex, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan were created, all operating as separate entities. This particular shop is the Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.) which was established as a branch of the main store in Meiji 28, located in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. The bento options include sukiyaki bento, beef bento (70g), and cut-off beef belly bento, with slight variations in the type of meat used. The stacked sukiyaki bento priced at 1944 yen is the most delicious, but recently, the cost-effective beef bento priced at 1296 yen has been a popular choice. The reviewer has been repeating the purchase of the beef bento due to its good value for money. This time, however, there was a slight disappointment as there was a noticeable texture in the beef bento. The beef bento consists of well-flavored beef, tofu, onions, konjac noodles, and pickled ginger, offering a safe and enjoyable taste.

In August of the first year of Reiwa, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan opened a bento box shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. "Imahan" has several companies, similar to the previously mentioned "Senbikiya," so I will touch on that a bit this time. The source of "Imahan" dates back to its founding in 1895, with branches such as Imahan Honten, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all of which are separate companies. This shop, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), which was founded as a branch of Imahan Honten in 1895, sells bento boxes in the basement of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi main store. Depending on the type of bento, the sukiyaki bento and beef bento feature thinly sliced beef, while the beef belly bento features belly meat. The sukiyaki bento and roast sukiyaki bento feature shoulder meat, and the stacked sukiyaki bento features 80g of meat, while the beef bento features 70g. The beef belly bento was not to my liking and was a one-time purchase. I found the stacked sukiyaki bento for 1,944 yen to be the most delicious, but recently I have been repeatedly buying the cost-effective beef bento for 1,296 yen. The beef bento includes well-flavored beef, tofu, onions, konjac noodles, and pickled ginger, offering a safe and consistently delicious taste.

In July of the first year of Reiwa, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), a branch of the famous sukiyaki restaurant Imahan Honten established in Meiji 28, is offering bento boxes at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi department store. The bento options include sukiyaki bento, beef bento, cut-off beef belly bento, shoulder loin sukiyaki bento, and loin sukiyaki bento, each with different types of meat ranging from 70g to 80g. The reviewer tried the beef bento priced at 1296 yen, which had well-marinated beef, tofu, onions, konjac, and pickled ginger. The reviewer found it to be a safe and satisfying choice, but preferred the stacked sukiyaki bento for its deliciousness.

In June of the first year of Reiwa, Asakusa Imahan, a branch of the famous sukiyaki restaurant Imahan, is known for its beef bento boxes. Established in Meiji 28 (1895), Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.) offers bento boxes at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi main store. I used to frequently enjoy the beef bento box priced at 1,296 yen, but recently I tried the layered sukiyaki bento box priced at 1,944 yen and found it to be much better, so now I often repeat ordering this particular bento. Depending on the type of bento, the sukiyaki bento uses sliced beef, the gyu bara cutlet bento uses beef belly, the layered sukiyaki bento and loin sukiyaki bento use shoulder loin, and the meat weight varies between 70g for the beef bento and 80g for the layered sukiyaki bento. I wasn't a fan of the beef belly bento, so I only tried it once. This time, after a long time, I decided to go back to the beef bento priced at 1,296 yen. Overall, the beef bento includes well-marinated beef, tofu, onions, konjac noodles, and pickled ginger, offering a safe and enjoyable taste without any major flaws. Rating: 3.5 stars (previously 3.7).

In May of the first year of Reiwa, Imahan is famous as a long-established sukiyaki restaurant, but here, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), which was established as a branch of the main store founded in 1895, is a bento shop located in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store. They display the founding year as 1895 when the main store was established, not the year of the branch's establishment. I used to repeatedly enjoy the beef bento for 1,296 yen, but by chance, I tried the layered sukiyaki bento for 1,944 yen and found it to be much better, so I have been repeating the layered sukiyaki bento here. Depending on the type of bento, the sukiyaki bento and beef bento use different cuts of meat. The cut beef belly bento uses belly meat, while the layered sukiyaki bento and loin sukiyaki bento use shoulder loin. The meat content is 80g for the layered sukiyaki bento and 70g for the beef bento. I didn't like the beef belly bento, so it was a one-time thing. The layered sukiyaki bento for 1,944 yen includes shoulder loin, konjac, leeks, tofu, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and a boiled egg. The shoulder loin in the layered sukiyaki bento is significantly more delicious! There is a difference in content that justifies the price difference. (Personally, I would prefer it to be cheaper without the boiled egg.) Taste: 3.7 (up from 3.2), Cost performance: 3.4 (up from 3.1)

Imahan is a well-known sukiyaki restaurant, but the Asakusa Imahan, a branch of the original Imahan established in 1895, operates a bento shop in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. I used to repeatedly enjoy the beef bento for 1,296 yen, but I recently tried the layered sukiyaki bento for 1,944 yen and found it much better. However, I did not like the hard-boiled egg in the bento, so I decided to try the beef belly bento for the first time, which is slightly more expensive than the beef bento and does not include the egg. The different bento options include sukiyaki, beef, and layered sukiyaki, each with varying types of meat. The beef belly sukiyaki bento I tried was not to my liking, as the meat was thin and the portion felt small. I also noticed a reservation-only bento priced at 8,640 yen, which I have included a photo of for reference. Overall, I rated the taste at 3.2 and the value at 3.1, taking into consideration the specific bento I tried.

In November of Heisei 30 (based on October usage), Asakusa Imahan, a branch of the famous sukiyaki restaurant Imahan, founded in Meiji 28, is located in the basement of Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi. They offer a variety of bento boxes, with the sukiyaki bento being a popular choice. I used to frequently enjoy the beef bento priced at 1296 yen, but after trying the layered sukiyaki bento priced at 1944 yen, I found it to be much better. However, I sometimes find myself wondering if the beef bento offers better value. The difference between the sukiyaki bento and beef bento lies in the type of meat used, with the sukiyaki bento featuring sliced beef and the beef bento featuring diced beef. The layered sukiyaki bento contains 80g of shoulder loin, while the beef bento contains 70g of meat. This time, I tried the layered sukiyaki bento priced at 1944 yen. The shoulder loin in the layered sukiyaki bento is exceptionally delicious, making it worth the price difference. (Personally, I would prefer it without the boiled egg to make it more affordable.)

Tender and flavorful meat. The rice is also of very high quality.

The flavor is rich. There is plenty of beef.

Imahan is famous for its sukiyaki, but this review is about Imahan Asakusa, a branch of the original Imahan founded in 1895, located in the basement of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. The reviewer used to enjoy the beef bento priced at 1296 yen, but recently tried the stacked sukiyaki bento priced at 1944 yen and found it to be much better. Despite the good memories of the beef bento, the reviewer acknowledges that the stacked sukiyaki bento is superior. They plan to stick with the stacked sukiyaki bento in the future.

In June of the 30th year of Heisei, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento box shop in the Mitsukoshi basement. Similar to the previously mentioned "Senbikiya," "Imahan" also has several companies, so I will touch on that a bit this time. The origin of the company dates back to the establishment of the "Imahan Main Store" in 1895, which then led to the creation of Imahan Annex, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all of which are separate companies. The bento boxes have a nostalgic feel with traditional beef dishes. When I asked a middle-aged female staff member last time, she accurately explained the differences in meat in the bento boxes. The sukiyaki bento and beef bento contain cut beef belly, while the beef cutlet bento contains stacked beef belly. The sukiyaki bento and loin sukiyaki bento contain stacked shoulder loin, with 80g of meat, while the beef bento contains 70g of meat. I usually get the beef bento, but this time I tried the stacked sukiyaki bento, and it was really good, so I bought it again this time. Stacked Sukiyaki Bento: 1944 yen (tax included); 80g of shoulder loin, konjac, leeks, tofu, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, boiled egg. I always thought the beef bento was delicious, but the shoulder loin in the stacked sukiyaki bento is significantly more delicious! (Personally, I prefer it without the boiled egg, so it would be better if it were cheaper without it.) I just realized this time that while the beef bento uses onions, this one uses leeks, but personally, I prefer leeks. However, this time, the leeks were too strong and not very tasty.

In May of the 30th year of Heisei, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan has opened a bento shop in the Mitsukoshi basement. They offer nostalgic beef bento boxes with an old-fashioned feel. I usually purchase the same beef bento box for 1200 yen (1296 yen) almost every time. However, I recently learned that there are differences in the meat used in the bento boxes. When I asked a young female staff member about it last time, she seemed uninterested and gave a vague answer, so I waited for the next opportunity. This time, when I asked a middle-aged female staff member, she explained it to me accurately. The sukiyaki bento and beef bento use different cuts of beef. The cut-off beef belly bento uses belly meat, while the sukiyaki bento and sirloin sukiyaki bento use shoulder loin. The shoulder loin sukiyaki bento contains 80g of meat, while the beef bento contains 70g. Since I always had the beef bento, I decided to try the shoulder loin sukiyaki bento this time. The shoulder loin in the sukiyaki bento was significantly more delicious than I expected! (Personally, I think it would be better if it was cheaper without the boiled egg). Overall rating: 3.7 (up from 3.5), taste: 3.9 (up from 3.6), service: 3.5 (up from 2.9)

In May of Heisei 30 (2018), the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Asakusa Imahan opened a bento shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. Imahan, like the previously mentioned Senbikiya, is actually operated by multiple companies. The original Imahan main store was established in Meiji 28, and from there branched out into Imahan Annex, Asakusa Imahan (Imahan Co., Ltd.), Ningyocho Imahan, and Yoyogi Imahan, all of which are separate companies. The nostalgic beef bento, priced at 1200 yen (1296 yen), exudes a sense of familiarity. The beef, tofu, onions, konjac, and pickled ginger are well-flavored and satisfying. The consistent taste and style maintained over the years is commendable. I hope they continue to uphold this tradition in the future. Overall rating: 3.4 stars (down from 3.5), Service: 2.9 stars (down from 3.4).

In December of the 29th year of Heisei, the long-established sukiyaki restaurant Imahan opened a bento shop in Mitsukoshi's basement. They offer a nostalgic beef bento for 1200 yen (1296 yen) that I purchase almost every time. The beef bento consists of well-marinated beef, tofu, onions, konjac noodles, and pickled ginger. It has a safe and satisfying taste, and my parents always enjoy it. I admire their commitment to maintaining the same taste and style over the years. I hope they continue to uphold this tradition in the future.

Sukiyaki restaurant "Imahan" is a long-established store that sells bento boxes at Mitsukoshi department store. The nostalgic beef bento box priced at 1200 yen (1296 yen) is always satisfying. The flavor of the beef, tofu, onions, konnyaku, and pickled ginger is well infused. It has a safe and delicious taste that never disappoints, and my parents are always pleased with it. I admire how they have preserved the traditional taste without changing it. When buying for both my parents, I have tried various stores like Nadaman, Minoyoshi, Kakiyasu, and Umebayashi (Ginza Mitsukoshi: closed down), but the most satisfying bento box for both me and my parents is currently the Imahan beef bento box. I hope they continue to preserve the taste in the future.
