ahodori bento

Been wanting to try Ahodori Bento after seeing them on "7 rules", a television show about females in various business genre and their "7 rules in life", not sure when it was broadcast, maybe during the pandemic?

Anyway, this bento shop does catering for television/magazine shoots and other events. But if you go to the shop you can usually buy their other types of bento.

They are closer to Ikebukuro, so I was happy to hear that they would be selling two types of their bento at Shinjuku Takashimaya on Wednesdays.

This is a limited time pop up, so I made sure to try to go during the dates.

We tried their maru (circular) wappa bento...1815 yen each  (tax included) (the other bento had less veggies and only a piece of fish)

this is the roughly translated menu: 

salmon saikyoyaki (grilled miso)

ninjin shirishiri (cooked grated carrots)

eggplant miso

myoga su (vinegary myoga)

grilled watermelon radish 

grilled chicken (cumin & pink pepper)
su gobo (vinegary burdock)

shishito okaka itame (shishito stir fried with bonito flakes)

pumpkin cranberry croquette

shiitake umani (simmered shiitake)

pickled lotus root

simmered sweet potato

turnip namul

ume tempura

nitamago (seasoned egg)

So delicious (hefty) and colorful! I'm glad we got to try this and hope to get to their shop to try other bento in the future
