We tried these bento from Mother Meat Plaza (love the name of the shop!)
On the left is kalbi with tontoro...from what I could understand, tontoro is the meat from the neck area of pork.
It had kind of a "crunchy" texture because I think there was some cartilage with the meat.
The kalbi was a bit on the tough side but overall this bento was delicious.
Satoshi's bento was the kurogewagyu kalbi bento (right)...he said his kalbi was super tender.
The shop is actually a butcher shop, so I think for most of their bentos they use the cuts of meats that would normally be thrown out.
There were other items like their beef stew and curry that I want to try so I'll be back.
