After-bento bento.
After having a mixed experience with my last shibumi takeout and knowing nothing can top my first bento at hayato, I had to temper my expectations for this chicken katsu bento set.
And I’m happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised how tasty and delicious this was @Chowseeker1999, @Hungrydrunk, @attran99. The chicken is fried fresh when you arrive so it’s piping hot (@TheCookie) and had everything you could ask for, it was tender, juicy, fatty, flavorful, and crispy. It came with, what tasted like, a miso based sauce that was a bit sweet, I liked it quite a bit. The koshihikari rice was also excellent and I really liked the arabiki sausage in the potato salad along with the texture contrast that the pickled carrots provided. The spinach was tasty too with the flavor of bonito and dashi.
I’ll be back to try the wagyu katsu.
The only quibble would be with the packaging, the box needed some kind of tie to keep it closed and the bag was too small for the box.
