The Teriyaki Mayonnaise Bento with Chicken (450 yen) comes with pickles and one side dish. The main Teriyaki chicken is extremely flavorful, about three times stronger than usual Teriyaki. It's so delicious that you'll keep wanting more rice! Enjoy!

=H31.4=2nd visit, tried the sweet and sour chicken. The strong flavor makes it easy to eat with rice. =H31.4 revisit=Opted for the ginger pork bento, which is quite filling with a strong ginger flavor and a hint of garlic. =H31.4 3rd visit=Tried the classic katsu-don for the first time. It's a hearty meal with a generous portion of rice. =H31.4 4th visit=Chose the hamburger bento with a tempting demi-glace sauce. The homemade hamburger had a delicious taste. =R1.5=Decided to try the Chinese-style donburi with a savory salted vegetable sauce. As expected, the generous portion of rice paired well with the flavorful vegetables and meat.

=H31.3= Located in the Zoshigaya area next to Ikebukuro, this bento shop is along the western approach to the Onari Shrine. I had noticed many people entering the entrance with a vinyl tent during lunchtime, so I was curious. I visited for the first time around 1 pm, and found handmade side dishes neatly arranged in containers. I chose the bento with eggplant and minced meat stir-fry for 470 yen, and when I brought it to the register, they generously filled it with plenty of rice from a jar. It was a delicious dish that was not pre-made, at a reasonable price, and I was satisfied with the bento.

There is a bento shop in Ikebukuro that only operates during lunchtime. They also have a shop in Zoshigaya where a young man brings the bentos from Ikebukuro to sell. The bentos cost 400 yen each and there are quite a variety of options. I chose the ginger pork recommended by the staff. They have a microwave outside so you can warm up the bento before eating. The flavor was just right, not too bland or too strong, with a homemade taste. It's a shame they only serve lunch, I can't wait to go back again.

Sanjouya (Bento) Theme: Ikebukuro Sanjouya is a recommended bento shop in Ikebukuro. It is located right in front of Zoshigaya Kishibojin. They sell handmade bentos and sandwiches. In addition to fried foods, they have a wide variety of fish bentos such as teriyaki tuna, miso mackerel, miso-marinated Spanish mackerel, and salmon. It's great that the side dishes change frequently. The bentos are very delicious. The sandwiches are also homemade, unlike convenience store sandwiches, they have a pure taste without any additives. From miso mackerel bento to sweet and sour fried chicken bento to salmon bento, it's a recommended bento shop for those working nearby. Sanjouya 3-9-8 Zoshigaya, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 03-3983-1039

At first glance, it looks like a very ordinary bento shop, but they offer bento boxes that you won't find anywhere else. It is located near the entrance of the west side of Kibitsujinja Shrine. It is right off Meiji Street. They have a dish called Black Pepper Salmon Donburi. It consists of slices of salmon sprinkled with black pepper, watercress, and crispy fried wonton wrappers with a garlic flavor. It is topped with a savory sauce and has a satisfying taste. It costs 500 yen. They have a variety of other options, all of which are intricately made. For example, they have a bento with white fish cooked in a curry-flavored cream sauce, resembling a gratin. It may be a stretch to call it a French lunch, but it is quite delicious.

I would appreciate it if you could like, save, or follow me for encouragement:) [Overall] - A bento shop located between Ikebukuro and Zoshigaya - Around 11:30 on weekdays, you can choose from 15-20 types of bento - Cash only [Food] - Eggplant Chicken Tenmenjan Bento 550 yen There are regular and daily special bentos, and I chose the Eggplant Chicken Tenmenjan Bento from the daily specials. The eggplant, bell peppers, and chicken seasoned with Tenmenjan were slightly spicy and had a flavor that made the rice go down smoothly. ******I also have an Instagram, so feel free to take a look. https://www.instagram.com/sss_03gourmet/******
