On a certain holiday, I stopped by a Western-style bento shop on the first floor of the Erial Trois in the Odori Subway Station area on my way home. The store is located on the first floor, and a slightly long display shelf showcases a small selection of bento boxes. From the menu that day, I chose the "Loco Moco (700 yen)" out of curiosity, as it was labeled as a "limited edition" for the Odori store. After heating it up, I took a bite... The bento had a beautiful sunny-side-up egg on top, with a slightly firm hamburger patty underneath, served with a sweet and sour jelly-like sauce. It also came with purple cabbage, pumpkin slices, red bell pepper, and lettuce. The rice was decent as well. Overall, I'm glad I stopped by once. Thank you for the meal.

"KATO SHOTEN" in Sapporo was not just a place I visited alone, but with my partner. We had lunch, tea at a café, and found out that the hotel check-in time was actually an hour earlier than expected and we had about 30 minutes to spare. When we asked for recommendations on where to spend the time, we were told about "Le Trois." It was a pleasant surprise. Besides the bustling square, there was also "KATO SHOTEN" where we ended up buying something. The staff seemed focused on their work and didn't pay much attention to us. We ordered a dry curry, chosen by my partner. I didn't have high expectations due to my past experiences, but it turned out to be surprisingly spicy. I don't really think about the difference between dry and keema curry, I just know I enjoy both. It was delicious.

It is a bento shop on the first floor of Le Trois that focuses on quality ingredients. This time, I purchased the prosciutto and orange salad. When I ate it at home, I found the vegetables to be fresh and delicious with no bitterness, but the portion was a bit small. I also felt that the bento sold in the shop had a small portion, so I would be happy if they could increase the amount a little. Thank you for the meal!

The takeout-only store "katoshoten" near Bus Center in front of the restaurant "Kato Shoten" opened on July 16, 2021, on the first floor of "Le Trois". This is the second store after "RA・SO・RA", but the main store's lunch is also very high quality, especially the grilled fish set meal, which is excellent. I highly recommend it. The items are relatively simple, with salads and various rice bowls available. They also provide a microwave for reheating. I have used the store in Higashi Sapporo several times in the past, but I feel like I am always eating the same thing. This time, I purchased the "Keema Curry". The Keema Curry I brought home had pumpkin, paprika, zucchini, and a soft-boiled egg on top. The flavor was quite good, with a mild spiciness and the soft-boiled egg complementing it well. When eating at home, I usually add a little extra spice. I will definitely visit one of the stores again. Thank you for the meal.

When it gets hot, the symptoms of my designated rare disease worsen, and unfortunately, there is still no medication that suits my condition. I had to be hospitalized for treatment in April-May after being hospitalized in September and January last year. Your supportive comments were a source of strength for me during my hospitalization, and I am truly grateful. I was discharged in early May, but the tests in late May were not good, and the doctor mentioned the possibility of hospitalization. The tests in June led to further tests in July, and it seems likely that I will be hospitalized in July due to worsening condition, but it will be after 2 weeks of receiving the COVID vaccine. The doctor instructed me to confirm the vaccine schedule, but Sapporo City's vaccination schedule for those under 65 was slightly shortened to end by the end of February next year. Those under 64 with underlying conditions are prioritized, and vaccination vouchers are being sent out from July. Prime Minister Suga stated that vaccinations for those aged 65 and over will be completed by July this year, but both the first and second dose vaccination rates in Hokkaido are the lowest in the country. Hokkaido has the lowest vaccination rate in the country. As a result, the number of deaths in Hokkaido is 30-40% higher than that of Tokyo every day. Despite this, marathon events for the Olympics will be held in Sapporo. While Tokyo is progressing with vaccinations for younger people, Sapporo is lagging behind in vaccinating the elderly. What could be the cause of this significant difference? Thank you for your continued support. [July 2021] "Katoshoten" is a diner that focuses on using local ingredients. "Katoshoten Le Trois Store" is a takeout specialty store produced by "Katoshoten," offering bento boxes and side dishes. It opened on July 16, 2021. I visited for the first time with my usual companion. The store is located in the Odori area of ​​Sapporo's Chuo Ward on the first floor of Le Trois. Please check the exact location on Tabelog. I visited before 10 am on a weekday. There were about 7 types of bento boxes available that day, similar to the Rasora store. Unfortunately, my favorite "Beef and Onion Steak Sauce Stir-Fry Bento" was not available yet. Instead, I chose the "Demiburger Bento 680 yen." The bento is a two-tiered box. Demiburger Bento 2-stage 2-stage bento box The upper tier is side dishes, and the lower tier is rice Weight Actual measurement Upper tier 130g (after removing the windbag) Lower tier 191g (after removing the windbag) Total 321g (after removing the windbag) 321g is a bit light, but it's a good portion. [Upper tier] A gentle-tasting hamburger made from a mixture of beef and pork with demi sauce Vegetables Red paprika, pumpkin, shimeji mushrooms, etc. [Lower tier] The rice uses Fukagawa-grown "Yumepirika" White rice The ratio of white rice to brown rice is 9:1 Price 680 yen (tax included) Welcome Drink for the first 100 customers A refreshing lemonade The "Demiburger Bento" is a healthy and satisfying bento. The two-tiered box keeps the rice clean and enjoyable. With a content weight of 320g and priced at 680 yen, it may seem a bit light, but it's understandable given the focus on using local ingredients. It's perfect for those with a small appetite or on a diet, or as a light lunch. If you're younger, you might need two (1360 yen). I had no problem finishing it for lunch. (laughs) The interior of the store was warm, so I refreshed my throat with the "Welcome Drink." It's a nice service. I wonder which bento I'll try next time. Thank you for the delicious meal.
