Another state of emergency has been declared. In such cases, dining in at restaurants poses a high risk, so it's best to opt for takeout instead. I decided to stop by this bento shop on my way back from shopping. I had heard that Hokyu Sai, known for location bento and station bento, had opened a bento shop and had been wanting to try it. The main store is a bit hard to get to, so I chose to visit this branch near Kyoto Station. I used to order location bento frequently for my filming work, so I was excited to try their bento. As I did some research, I found out that they also offer bento from Asai Shokudo, famous for Western cuisine, and Hamamura, a longstanding Chinese restaurant, as well as okonomiyaki from Warai. I decided to go for their signature location bento and the hamburger bento from Asai Shokudo. When I arrived around 1:00 pm, most of the bento had already sold out, leaving only the location bento for 900 yen, sweet and sour pork bento for 670 yen, and eel bento for 980 yen. I ended up purchasing the location bento and sweet and sour pork bento. It seems that the sales vary greatly from day to day, as they were almost sold out by 11:00 am on that day. They also mentioned that you can reserve or order in advance, so it's better to do that next time. I brought the bento home and my wife and I each had our chosen main dish. The location bento included a small piece of eel, salt-grilled mackerel, simmered vegetables, rolled omelette, hijiki seaweed, fried chicken, thin pickled daikon, and rice. The simmered vegetables were a bit too heavily seasoned for my liking, and the mackerel had many small bones. The eel was just okay. The rolled omelette was average. The fried chicken had a Chinese-style taste with a hint of pepper. Overall, it was okay for a one-time meal. The sweet and sour pork bento included sweet and sour pork (pork and bell pepper), spring rolls, glass noodles, shumai, and pickled vegetables with rice. The sweet and sour pork had a good balance of sweetness and sourness, with chunky pieces of pork. My wife thought the spring rolls were unnecessary, but considering the price, it was still acceptable. I'm curious about the Western cuisine from Asai Shokudo, so I plan to make a reservation for that next time. Overall rating: 3.3.

While walking towards Nijo Station, I noticed a shop undergoing construction on the street. I was curious about what kind of shop it was, and it turned out to be a bento shop. Even though it's a bit out of the way on my route back home, I decided to buy dinner there because I had read good reviews about it from Ajisai-san. The prices were surprisingly cheap, and I was impressed. They had nori bento, but I opted for the familiar Hamamura bento with spring rolls, tofu skin rolls, and green beans with minced meat. It was a light Cantonese-style meal. I also bought pickled vegetables and pickled mustard leaves to go with it. The bento was delicious and satisfying, and I even had leftovers to freeze for another day. Overall, it was a great dinner, perfect for when you're feeling tired and don't want to cook.

It seems that a new bento village called "Uzumasa Bento Village" has opened. I found out that there is a store in Nishioji Oike, so I decided to stop by and buy some. There were several bento boxes and side dishes from different shops in Kyoto. I bought a menchi-katsu bento from Asai Shokudo, a takana bento from Hokusa, and sweet and sour pork and shrimp mayo from Hamamura. I haven't tried the Hokusa bento yet, but the Asai Shokudo bento was visually appealing and delicious, with menchi-katsu and whole shrimp fry included. The sweet and sour pork and shrimp mayo were also tasty. I'm not sure if the bento changes daily, but I'm thinking of going back to buy more!
