[Unique Ekiben Bento] Mito Inro Bento: 2-Tier Japanese Train Lunch & Freeze-Dried Miso Soup

Thank you for watching! Today, I tried the famous and unique "Mito Inro Bento" (1,450 JPY incl. tax) made by Mannenya! 🍱🏯✨ *What are "Inro" and "Mito Komon"? An "Inro" is a traditional portable tiered container from the Edo period, originally meant for seals or carrying daily medicine, which eventually became a stylish fashion accessory. In popular Japanese historical fiction, Lord Mito Komon travels the country and reveals his golden Inro bearing the Tokugawa family crest to expose wrongdoers! The legendary lord probably never imagined his iconic medicine case would become a 2-tier meal box hundreds of years later! I paired this special meal with freeze-dried Nameko mushroom miso soup. Nothing beats a warm, savory bowl of miso soup alongside a packed Japanese lunch! ▼ Inside the 2-Tier Mito Inro Bento (1,450 JPY) 🍱🌸🐙 [Bottom Tier: Seasoned Takikomi Rice] Flavorful cooked seasoned rice topped with tender simmered octopus, shredded egg omelet, and savory shiitake mushrooms. [Top Tier: Ume Plum-Themed Side Dishes] Featuring sweet candied green ume plum and pork tossed in plum paste—inspired by the historic plum blossoms of Mito!
