At Shinagawa Station Ecute, I'm on a mission to find the perfect companion for my Shinkansen ride, now at the third store haha. This time, I stumbled upon a bento specialty shop by the famous butcher shop, Niku no Kojima. Their meat bento boxes look really delicious, featuring dishes like Black Wagyu Beef Bento for 1,280 yen including tax. The set includes three items: Beef Tendon Stew, Beef Soboro, and Roast Beef. The Beef Tendon Stew is delicious! It's rich in flavor, sweet and savory, and goes really well with rice. Perfect for pairing with alcohol! The Roast Beef slices are cooked at a low temperature, making them tender and flavorful with a hint of the savory fat. However, I felt the taste was a bit lacking (probably because it didn't come with the accompanying sauce). Considering that you would usually spend around 1,000 yen for a meal at the station, getting a Black Wagyu beef bento box of this quality for 1,280 yen is definitely worth it! The bento might have less rice, but it's perfect for enjoying with drinks. Overall, I was very satisfied with this bento box and it was a great match for my drinking session at the station.

Shinagawa Station's "Nadaman" is located right next to Ecute Shinagawa, with a logo that has the character "肉" (meat) in it, reminding me of Kinnikuman. When it comes to bento at Shinagawa Station, I have always been fascinated by Nadaman. I liked the special feeling of getting "Nadaman special dressing" when you fill up your points. Shinagawa Station has changed in various ways over the years. Every time I visit, I enjoy exploring the new shops. Today, I chose this shop because it was labeled as the most popular: - Black Wagyu low-temperature cooked steak and yakiniku two-color bento for ¥1,880 (discounted by ¥200 close to closing time) I opened it right away on the Shinkansen and the meat was carefully cooked, showing great skill! Especially the Black Wagyu beef, the flavor of the meat was fully brought out, giving a satisfying feeling when eating meat (although it's a bento and the fact that it's cold is a bit disappointing). Next is the sauce. Is it okay to have this much garlic nowadays? It had a surprisingly gentle taste despite looking manly and hearty. Comparing it to the Shinkansen bento, the "Sukiyaki bento" from Imahan for ¥1,836, the amount of meat at Kojima was amazing! In fact, it only contained meat and rice. The variety of ingredients and the fun of the two-tier bento might make Imahan the winner? But if you want to enjoy meat, you will definitely be satisfied with this very meaty bento.

Nowadays, there are some unhealthy bento options out there, but I decided to give this one a try after reading some good reviews. And I must say, the quality of the meat in this bento is really impressive. The sweet and savory simmered wagyu beef, the black wagyu roast beef, and the tender black wagyu minced meat all have a simple yet elegant quality to them. After trying it, I found myself craving wine instead of beer to go with it. The white rice is also top-notch, with a subtle richness in flavor. The portion size is decent, but it might not be filling enough for those who prefer heavier meals. However, you might want to prepare an additional vegetable dish to go with it. Overall, it's a luxurious bento option that I would definitely want to have again. The staff were also very friendly.

This is a restaurant review for a bento shop in the station building of JR Shinagawa Station called "Ekiute Shinagawa." The shop specializes in bento boxes made with meat. Ekiute Shinagawa is a commercial facility operated by a JR East Japan subsidiary, and it is known for having slightly higher prices as you get closer to the city center, especially in areas like Shinagawa which is a transfer station to the Shinkansen. The shop itself has a long history, starting as a calf specialty wholesaler in 1933, and has expanded to retailing meat in department stores like Isetan and Mitsukoshi. The bento options are not extensive, with the recommended black beef low-temperature cooked steak bento being on the pricier side. I tried the "Kamishimete Niku Bento" which features three types of black beef: beef lean meat, beef minced meat, and low-temperature cooked steak. The steak in the center looked tender and had a good amount of marbling, but it lacked a bit of seasoning. The beef lean meat was well-cooked and had a soy sauce-based flavor, while the beef minced meat was as expected, with a nice beefy taste. The accompanying shishito pepper provided a nice spicy kick to refresh the palate. Overall, this bento is a high-quality option for those who value quality over quantity, and it's recommended for those looking for a more upscale bento experience.

At Shinagawa Station's ecute, there was a huge line for Christmas cakes. I decided to pass on the cake today. Instead, I found a mini-sized bento box with wagyu beef, which was perfect for a little snack. The meat was tender and the onion ratio was good. It was delicious.

I went to "Niku Oroshi Kojima" in ecute inside Shinagawa Station. This time, I bought a Black Wagyu 3-color bento. The 3 colors are Black Wagyu sweet and savory simmered dish, Black Wagyu roast beef, and Black Wagyu minced meat. The roast beef was especially good. Although it's not freshly made, the Black Wagyu is delicious, so I think you will be satisfied.

Visited the newly renovated Shinagawa Ekute and tried out the new store. Purchased the Sirloin and Charcoal-Grilled Yakiniku Bento for 1,800 yen. The tender sirloin and fragrant charcoal-grilled yakiniku in the bento stayed delicious even when it cooled down. The portion of rice was small, making it perfect for dinner. Enjoyed it very much.

The minced beef and beef sinew with grilled meat were good, but I should have gone with the grilled meat bento after all. The amount of grilled meat is a bit small.

The beef tendons were incredibly delicious. I would buy them separately if they were sold that way.

Beef tendon simmered, minced meat, and roast beef bento box with three colors, priced at 1,280 yen. Although it may look small, there was plenty of food. Very satisfying, thank you for the meal.

Meat mark! I ended up buying a black-haired Wagyu low-temperature cooked steak bento because they were having a sale before closing. The meat is tender and the sauce on the side is light and tasty. However, I wish there was more sauce compared to the amount of meat. It's like they want you to enjoy the meat itself. Hmm... but I still want some sauce or salt. The amount of meat in the bento is worth the regular price, and I got a good deal because it was on sale this time! As someone who likes to try a variety of foods, I think I would have preferred the two-color bento (low-temperature cooked steak + yakiniku) that was next to it. I regret giving in to the 500 yen discount and buying this one.

Just before moving, I packed all the dishes, so we got takeout for dinner in Shinagawa. We chose a bento box from Partner Request's "meat" category - the "Black Wagyu 3-color Bento" which included simmered beef tendon, roast beef, and minced meat. The roast beef was tender and the minced meat had a nice savory flavor. I didn't try the beef tendon, but my partner seemed satisfied, so that's good.

My partner stopped by at Ecute Shinagawa on their way home from work and brought back dinner for us. When asked what I wanted, I said maybe something with meat, and they got me a Wagyu three-color bento box. It had sweet simmered beef, minced meat, and roast beef. Except for the roast beef, the other meats were quite sweet, but they were delicious with the sweet vinegar ginger. The rice also went well with it. The roast beef had an elegant taste.

When buying bento in Shinagawa, there are often hot Pao Pao options, but today I tried a delicious Wagyu steak sushi that caught my eye! The meat was thick and delicious. Very satisfied ^_^. I enjoy it with wasabi and soy sauce. Goes well with wine and beer. Perfect for a Shinkansen party!

Today, my errands in Shinagawa finished earlier than expected, so I decided to buy a bento box at ecute Shinagawa on my way back. This time, I purchased the Black Wagyu 3-color bento box (1,280 yen) at "Niku Oroshi Kojima ecute Shinagawa". The 3 colors refer to beef tendon stew, minced meat, and roast beef, but the standout is definitely the minced meat. The sweet sauce is absolutely delicious, and the minced meat made with high-quality meat is truly exceptional! The roast beef also has a strong presence, and the beef tendon stew goes really well with rice. If you want to savor high-quality meat, I highly recommend this bento box. Thank you for the meal!

I forgot to take a photo, but I bought a black wagyu steak bento box that cost around 2200 yen, the most expensive option. Thanks to a regional coupon, I was able to get it at a discounted price. The quality of the meat was excellent, with a taste similar to roast beef. It may be pricey, but it's better to spend a little more on a good bento box than to buy a cheaper one that tastes bad for 1000 yen.

Minced meat, steak, and tendon 3-color bento box. Delicious. Rice portion is slightly small.

■Black Wagyu 3-color Bento Box 1,280 yen When I went back home, I bought this and had it at Haneda Airport.
