During my mother's hospitalization, I tried working at my parents' house, which is rare for me. The only thing I can do is manage meals. I disposed of expired food without hesitation and cooked the ones that were close to expiration with the hope that you can eat them today and tomorrow. We managed to work on our day off, so we are satisfied with store-bought bento boxes. The choice is a colorful vegetable bento box from the local greengrocer. It includes tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette), kinpira gobou (burdock root), kashiwa yuzu shioyaki (grilled chicken with yuzu salt), gobou ten (burdock root tempura), gobou and pork lettuce rolls, tomato, broccoli, lotus root, black bean rice topped with bamboo shoots, zucchini, and mushrooms. It mainly focuses on root vegetables and seasonal vegetables, with low fat and incorporating protein. But I wish there was a standout feature! Men don't buy bento for themselves to eat. It would probably be expensive for everyday women's meals. With so much rice, it's also difficult to pair with alcohol. I wonder if the wife and child can eat healthily with this?

After eating okonomiyaki and finishing shopping, I decided to have takeout for dinner. I wandered around the underground area and ended up choosing this beautiful bento box from YAOBEN. I forgot the price, but I remember it was well below a thousand yen. The bento box had large prawns as the main feature and was mainly vegetable-based. It seemed quite luxurious but was actually quite affordable, possibly due to inexpensive ingredients. It came with two types of rice, one of which was sticky rice. Although I'm not sure how healthy it actually was (it did have fried food in it), it made me feel very healthy. The seasoning was also light! My wife also really enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the "Daichi Fruit and Vegetable Store" located in Sunpiazza B1 in Shin-Sapporo, which is steadily increasing its number of stores in the city. They sell fresh vegetables, side dishes, and bento boxes. I bought a variety of side dishes packed in small portions called "Side Dish Pack @ 1,000 yen." The contents included grilled chicken breast, simmered vegetables, roast beef, tempura, and salmon. The dishes were made with plenty of vegetables since they are from a fruit and vegetable store. The chicken breast was tender, and the roast beef was cooked perfectly. The overall seasoning was on the lighter side, which may appeal to those who prefer mild flavors. However, some people may find it lacking in depth. The prices are a bit high, so taking advantage of the evening discount time could be a good idea. Thank you for the meal.

When I feel like I haven't had enough vegetables, I get my bento box from here. It has plenty of meat or fish along with a variety of vegetables. The contents change regularly, and sometimes they even include fried items. It's a bento box that you won't get tired of. The salads are delicious too. They also sell vegetables and fruits, some of which you may not find in regular supermarkets.

I like this bento shop and often go there to buy. Each dish is light in flavor and vegetable-based, truly delicious.

【Takeout Available】A new vegetable shop has opened on the basement floor of the commercial facility Sanpiazza, directly connected to JR Shin-Sapporo Station and Subway Tozai Line Shin-Sapporo Station, which opened on March 15, 2017. They focus on vegetables from Hokkaido and aim to establish a close relationship with producers. In addition to fresh vegetables, they also sell side dishes and bento boxes. In winter, they focus on domestic produce, mainly from Kyushu and Shikoku. The shop is located along New Main Street, entering Sanpiazza from the Duo side, between Niku no Yamamoto and Komatsu Suisan. Visited again on March 6, 2018, at 8:30 PM. One of my go-to places after work. This season offers a variety of domestic citrus fruits to enjoy. I went to see if they had grapefruits, but they were out and instead, I spotted kinkans sold individually! They were from Kagoshima, I think... with a sugar content of over 18 degrees. Each kinkan was 123 yen, so I bought two. Kinkans are eaten with the peel, which has a bitter taste, but the flesh is sweet and juicy. A rush of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness in each bite. I planned to savor one a day, but ended up eating them all at once (laughs). Okinawa's Yanbaru tomatoes were 246 yen. Although they can't beat the cherry tomatoes bought from a farm's direct sales corner in the summer due to the distance traveled, they are still delicious and different from those sold in supermarkets. I usually don't like shredded cabbage that has been sitting for a while (rarely get seconds at tonkatsu restaurants), but this time, I thought, "Huh? It's not bitter?" Perhaps the cabbage was freshly prepared, or maybe it was the dressing, but it was tasty. I love beans and nuts, so I wish they would double the amount of beans instead of adding ham (laughs). A salad with prosciutto, sweet cabbage, and beans was 408 yen. I usually enjoy the colorful rice for 500 yen at this shop because they cook rice so well. You can enjoy four different types of colored rice.

On a certain weekday, I had some free time and decided to have lunch in the Shin Sapporo area. I ended up buying a bento box and side dishes for home from a natural food store located in the Sunpiazza Center Mall B1 floor. The store had a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and side dishes on display. I chose the "Delicious Veggie Bento (700 yen)" which consisted of categorized side dishes and two types of rice. The boiled chicken with winter cabbage was delicious, with a slightly sweet cabbage mixed in a sweet and sour sauce. The large head-on shrimp was garlic sautéed, and I couldn't resist eating it whole. The mushroom and tomato marinated dish was light and tasty, complemented by the crunchy boiled cabbage. The chestnut rice had a subtle sweetness from the chestnuts. The kinpira burdock mixed rice had a light touch of burdock and carrot. The "Earthly Veggie Plate (500 yen)" had macaroni and tuna with a hint of saltiness, bacon-topped cabbage with a savory flavor, and high-quality roast beef. The sweet potato potato salad had a natural sweetness, and the yellow cherry tomatoes added a cute touch. Overall, the bento and side dishes were on the high-end side, with a focus on natural flavors and ingredients. It was a delightful meal.

I visited a new restaurant in Sapporo that seems to have opened recently. There is a new vegetable and fruit store near Kamaei, with a small space but it seems to have a lot of attention to detail in their produce. In the back showcase, there are delicious deli items. I bought some snacks. The names of the dishes are abbreviated. The "Cabbage and Prosciutto Salad" was delicious, with cabbage marinated in broth and mixed with prosciutto and bacon. The cabbage was sweet and tasty. I want to try making it at home. The "Boiled Spinach and Salmon Marinade" had a dressing with mountain wasabi. The marinated salmon was fresh and delicious, almost like sashimi. The spinach may have been boiled too much, which was a shame considering the attention to quality ingredients. This is a great place for snacks. I will definitely visit frequently. Thank you for the meal.

[Takeout Available] A new vegetable shop opened on the basement floor of Sanpiazza, a commercial facility directly connected to JR Shin-Sapporo Station and Tozai Line's Shin-Sapporo Station on March 15, 2017. They focus on vegetables from Hokkaido, emphasizing a close relationship with producers. In addition to fresh vegetables, they also sell side dishes. The shop is located along New Main Street, entering from the Duo side towards Sanpiazza, between Niku no Yamamoto and Komatsu Suisan. On my way home from work on March 16, I stumbled upon the shop while exploring the dungeon. It had just opened yesterday. During that time, one type of side dish was half price, so I jumped on it and bought it. It was some kind of gnocchi, with a slightly chewy texture. It was delicious with the white sauce and had a different flavor compared to store-bought mushrooms. I made miso soup with it and enjoyed it. It seems like there will be a variety of options to enjoy depending on the season.

I was exhausted and worn out, so I asked my husband to pick up a bento box from Daichi No Seikaten. When he got home, he said, "It seems different." Instead of the usual 1000 yen side dish set, he brought back an 800 yen bento box (without rice). The variety and content of the side dishes have decreased due to the lower price, but the previous one was better. This one seems too ordinary. I'm not sure if they were sold out of the 1000 yen set or if they stopped selling it, but I want to try the surprising and impressive Daichi No Seikaten side dish set again. I'll have to go to the store to confirm next time.

We arrived at Daichi no Seikaten in Sapporo, just the two of us with no plans for the day. We had ramen and then wandered around Shin-Kotoni before heading to Shin-Sapporo as planned. There were several shops not listed in the Sanpiazza area. Daichi no Seikaten, a fruit and vegetable store, seemed tough. The Yuki no Shita onigiri was a bit hard, but softened when heated. It had a faint aroma and taste, with a subtle presence of ingredients. The rice was a bit sticky, which was nice. The flavor was mild, with a hint of curry. It was an interesting onigiri. My wife made miso soup with green vegetables, which added color. It tasted good, and the texture of the Yuki no Shita mushrooms was enjoyable. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

I visited this restaurant seeking a side dish for alcohol this time. The set here is full of vegetables, but it also includes meat and seafood, which makes me happy. All the side dishes have a light seasoning, and they tasted delicious with beer or sake. Thank you for the meal (^-^)

This time, I decided to buy the appetizer set from this restaurant that I had been curious about for a while as a side dish for sake. It included zangi, shrimp mayo mackerel fillet, thick grilled egg, kinpira burdock, and meat-wrapped okra and zucchini. The set had plenty of vegetables and the flavors were light, which was very good. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity. Thank you for the meal (^_^)

In the basement of Sanpiazza, there is a vegetable shop called Daichi no Seigyoten. I happened to peek inside and saw their healthy homemade bento boxes called "YAOBEN," which looked very elegant and delicious, so I ended up buying one. I bought a pack of side dishes without rice. It was a bit pricey, but it was delicious. I would like to visit again.

First Visit on July 3, 2022 Having finished my errands and eaten, it's time to get dinner! There are various takeout options in Shin Sapporo, so choosing is enjoyable. Among them, I stumbled upon this place: Daichi No Seika-ten Shin Sapporo Branch. The layout inside was a bit confusing, and I wasn't sure which items belonged to which shop at first. But after checking out the separate register, I was sure this was the right place. They had a variety of bento boxes, but this time I opted for a set of side dishes. It was like a tray with a mix of different side dishes. In addition to this, I also bought various items from other shops, but the best was from here. The dishes looked well-prepared and the roast beef was outstanding. It had a subtle flavor that really brought out the taste of the meat, and it was incredibly delicious. The salmon marinated perfectly, and the chicken was great too. And let me tell you about the shrimp - it was super fresh and had a light salty taste that was fantastic. My wife was also impressed by these dishes. They exceeded their price in taste, and both of us were very satisfied! I'm sure I'll buy from here again next time I visit Shin Sapporo. It was a great find, and we truly enjoyed the meal! Thank you for the delicious food!

Once again, when I had to work late due to overtime, my husband bought dinner for me. It had been a while since I had eaten from there, and I was pleasantly surprised by the new variety of side dishes. Each one was delicious, and I was impressed by the effort the restaurant puts into constantly refreshing their menu with such a wide variety of dishes. And for only 1000 yen, it's a great deal! Perfect for wine pairings.

I discovered a vegetable I've never seen before. It's called Stick Senyor. It seems to be a cross between broccoli and Chinese vegetables. The bento with lots of vegetables was a bit pricey at 850 yen, but it looked really delicious. It might be nice to try occasionally when spending more time at home!! It will also open in Port Town on October 11th. It would be convenient if it's in the city. Thank you for the meal!

I bought the Spring Premium Bento (1000 yen) from a shop that sells vegetables, salads, and bento boxes. The bento had a good balance of meat and fish, with black bean rice and seasonal rice. It was lightly seasoned, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. The vegetables were fresh, sweet, and delicious. It was a bit pricey, but overall, it was a satisfying meal.

During the takeout promotion period, we enjoy having some side dishes with drinks on weekends. The variety of dishes with mild flavors and plenty of vegetables suits our family's needs perfectly. One pack is filling enough without overeating.
