A bento is a take-out meal and a common form of Japanese dish. It is food packed into a box-shaped container, with ingredients such as meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables. A typical bento is well-balanced and suitable for any occasion. As well as everyday bento made by wives for children, husbands, bento can also be purchased here in “Michi no Eki Aso”.
Our shop offers a wide variety of items, including Aso’s specialties such as ‘takana rice’ and `Akaushi beef bento’, as well as ‘rice balls’ and ‘sushi’, all of which are very popular with our customers.
Recently, the popularity of Washoku, or Japanese cuisine has been rising around the world. Thanks to Japanese anime and manga, the word bento and its culture have been adapted abroad. For example, in France, there have been said many Japanese-style bento shops. Their appetizing presentations, well-balanced nutrition, and reasonable prices seem to appeal to Parisiennes.
Lastly, if you ever visit Kyushu, we hope you will take the time to stop by Aso as well. Our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you with the spirit of omotenashi, the heartfelt hospitality that represents the Japanese way.
