Thank you for your hard work! This is Gyumeshi! I bought this bento box for 1150 yen at Kyoto Station. It's a common beef bento box that I heated up at home after buying it. I usually eat it cold, but it tastes better when warmed up at home. It's a good accompaniment to beer, but it might be a bit small for a dinner substitute at home. Due to pressure from various sources, I have minimized my drafts since June 2019 and reduced the number of images since January 2020. Please check the corresponding Google Maps for images. Bento box visit in early August 2022 [Microwave] Heating up.

I visited in April 2020. The place is located inside Kyoto Station. I purchased the Itoen octopus rice bowl for 1200 yen, which is a collaboration with Itoen tea limited to Kyoto, and the Tajima beef rice bowl for 1150 yen. I ate them at home right away. The Itoen octopus rice bowl uses Itoen tea, and it was refreshing and delicious. The Tajima beef rice bowl also had tender and tasty meat. If you come to Kyoto Station, I highly recommend the Itoen octopus rice bowl.

I ended up buying three bento boxes: Gyu-suki Zen for 880 yen, Tabi no Niwai Gozen for 1,000 yen, and Haru Zen for 880 yen. Although I am not collecting famous station bento boxes from all over Japan, I am happy to have a variety of local bento boxes. They recommended the Gyu-meshi, but I prefer the Makunouchi style, so I chose the Gyu-suki Zen. The Tabi no Niwai Gozen seemed to have a lot of ingredients based on its name, so I bought it as well. They were all delicious!

With a Winter Kansai 1-day pass in hand, I transferred trains and completed the Surutto Kansai Bus Stamp Rally in Kameoka. In between transferring to the Festival Hall in the afternoon at Kyoto Station, I stopped by this shop. When I was overwhelmed by the variety of bento boxes lined up, the staff recommended the "Warm Beef Tongue and Beef Kalbi BBQ Bento," which I purchased. I managed to jump on the Super Hakuto just before departure and made it in time. I placed the bento on the table and pulled the string, and the bento started to warm up. After waiting for about 5 minutes, steam rose from the container, and when I opened the lid, a carpet of warmed beef tongue and beef kalbi was spread out. The 25-minute ride from Kyoto to Osaka had already passed 5 minutes, so I silently enjoyed the beef soaked in sauce with barley rice. The thinly sliced beef tongue and beef kalbi went well with the barley rice. I don't often have the opportunity to enjoy beef tongue like this, but it made me want to try it again at this shop. Thank you for the meal.

There is a station bento shop located at JR Kyoto Station in Kyoto City. It is located right after passing through the ticket gate. They not only sell bento boxes from Kyoto, but also from neighboring prefectures such as Shiga and Osaka. It was nice to be able to buy a bento box from Shiga. The Omi beef sukiyaki bento box is one type of bento box made by Minamiyoken in Kusatsu City. It consists of seasoned rice topped with Omi beef sukiyaki and a hot spring egg. It also comes with grilled tofu, konjac, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, pickled cucumbers, and yuzu radish as side dishes. The tofu and konjac add to the sukiyaki flavor.

I went on a trip to Amanohashidate. This time, an essential part of traveling by train is the station bento. Eating while looking at the scenery from the train window is unique to train travel. During the journey to the destination, I purchased a station bento at Kyoto Station, a transfer station. It's autumn-like, and heading to the Tango Peninsula, this is the one to choose (laughs)! The highlight of a station bento is that moment when you open it and go "Wow." The station bentos this time lived up to expectations and I am satisfied. I have a feeling that it will be a fun trip! Thank you for the meal.

I bought this beef bento before getting on the Thunderbird train! I love harami and I really love beef. There's no reason for me to dislike beef tongue. I could have eaten it on the train, but I wanted to go back home and enjoy it slowly. I microwaved it and it tasted even better. Thank you for the meal!笑

There are mostly Ekiben from Awajiya at this place. There are so many varieties lined up that it's hard to decide. The "Kanimeshi Nidanju" for 1100 yen is on sale for 900 yen. It comes with a lot of side dishes, and the rice is cooked with crab broth, making it delicious. With so many options to choose from, it's fun just to look at them all.

The bento box contained mixed rice with vegetables, edamame, pickled daikon with dried baby sardines, simmered vegetables, rolled omelette, watercress and fried tofu, deep-fried whole eggplant, premium beef croquette, simmered daikon radish, and Kishu Nanko plum. The mixed rice was delicious with a rich dashi flavor. There were plenty of simmered dishes that I love, and the premium beef croquette was incredibly tasty.

I couldn't stop eating the beef and onion simmered rice bowl, where the flavor had seeped in nicely. ☺️
