Ekiben available in Tokyo 5

By ninjakotan

  在東京即可購得的各地鐵路便當特輯，已經來到第5彈囉，本篇同樣要介紹在新宿車站購入的鐵路便當。從第1彈開始到這篇第5彈，總共為大家介紹了50種不同特色的鐵路便當，而這篇也將會是鐵路便當特輯的最後一篇了。 說到要在東京購買鐵路便當，其實在東京車站販售的種類是比較多的，之前我也曾經兩度到東京車站去買鐵路便當。不過其實東京車站離我家或是公司都有一點距離，到那裡去買便當的話會花費太多時間，所以這50種便當幾乎都是在公司附近的新宿車站買到的。 除了季節限定的便當之外，在新宿車站有販賣的鐵路便當我幾乎都介紹過了，所以之後我想利用這段期間在購買便當時所蒐集到的各種資料，以「便當熱量排行榜」等比較多元、有趣的方式，來向大家介紹鐵路邊當。 如果你還沒有閱讀過第1彈到第4彈的文章，但是對於日本的鐵路便當相當感興趣，或是想要更深入瞭解的讀者，我會將文章連結貼到下方，請一定要點進去看看喔。   EKIBEN 1　鐵路便當1   EKIBEN 2　鐵路便當2   EKIBEN 3　鐵路便當3   EKIBEN 4　鐵路便當4         1.

Ekiben available in Tokyo 3

By ninjakotan

Ekiben (lunch box) available in Tokyo 3 english list   This is the third post in a series of special features on ekiben available in Tokyo. This time, we purchased ekiben only at Shinjuku Station. There are two ekiben stores in Shinjuku Station. The first, which sells a larger variety of ekiben, is the Ekiben-ya Itadaki. It is located between Lines 11 and 12 and Lines 9 and 10 in the South Exit ticket gates of Shinjuku Station. It is open from 6:30 to 21:00 (as of 15:00 on 30 August 2022), which is a long opening hour, making it a good ekiben shop for travelers. Next is the Ekiben-ya Shinjuku 5 kiosk. It is located in the middle of platforms 9 and 10 where Chuo Line limited express trains arrive and depart. It is open from 6:30 to 20:00. Shinjuku Station has the highest number of passengers in the world, and many limited express trains arrive and depart from the station, so demand for ekiben is strong. Why not choose from a wide variety of ekiben at Shinjuku Station? The average daily number of passengers at Shinjuku Station, including JR, Odakyu, and Keio lines, is approximately 3.53 million (2017),read moreEkiben available in Tokyo 3

Ekiben (lunch box) available in Tokyo 2 english list   This is the second post in a special feature on ekiben available in Tokyo. This time, ekiben were purchased at Shinjuku and Takadanobaba stations.   The ekiben counters at Shinjuku and Tokyo stations only sell ekiben produced in Tokyo if you go early in the morning. However, around noon, ekiben from various regions where mainly JR East lines are located are also sold.   Therefore, if you want to buy regional ekiben in Tokyo, it is recommended to go after lunchtime.   Note that Kiyo-ken is located on the platform of Takadanobaba Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line, which sells ekiben from Kiyo-ken, mainly shumai bento.   繁體字（traditional chinese list）   我們今次帶來了「能在東京購買的車站便當」特輯第二彈。今次、我們在新宿站和高田馬場站買了一些車站便當。   在早上時段、新宿站和東京站的車站便當櫃檯只會販賣東京生產的車站便當。 但是、到中午左右就會開始販賣以JR東日本各地區為中心的特色車站便當。   因此、如果您要在東京購買來自日本各地的車站便當的話、我們建議您在中午之後才去。   此外、高田馬場站在西武新宿線的車站內設有名為「崎陽軒」的車站便當櫃檯、專門出售「崎陽軒」的便當、主要販賣燒賣便當。       1.

Ekiben / Gozaemon Bento I bought the ekiben “Gozaemon Bento”, “Tofu Chikuwa”, and “Ago-noyaki” and ate them on the train from Yonago Station to Shinji Station. Originally, there was an ekiben sales place inside Yonago Station, but it closed in September 2020 due to the renovation work of the Yonago Station building. Now, tourist buy ekiben at “Souvenir Rakuichi”, which is a little outside of Yonago Station. “Gozaemon Bento” (Yen 1,400) is a luxurious bento that contains Sanin’s famous Gozaemon sushi, Daisen Okowa, and crab chirashi-zushi.

Kurayoshi craft beer 4. Washoku Izakaya Shunmon 5. Ramen Yamato   1. Kitaro beer and 20th century pear chu-hi at Tottori Sand Dunes I drank a pale ale of “Kitaro Beer” at “Sakyu Center View Hill” while looking at Tottori Sand Dunes. “Kitaro Beer” is a Kitaro label version of the popular craft beer “Daisen G Beer“. “Daisen G Beer” is a beer manufactured by Daisen Brewery. At the foot of Daisen National Park (elevation 300m), beer is produced using underground water from Daisen and barley and hops from Daisen. The Kitaro label is affixed, but the contents are “Daisen G Beer”, so it was a very delicious beer. After drinking “Kitaro Beer”, I drank “20th century pear (Asian pear) Chu-hai”. “20th century pear Chuhai” is a pear chu-hai that uses 11% of Tottori’s 20th century pear juice. It is produced by Hayashi Kentaro Shoten in Tottori City. When I tried “20th century pear Chu-hai”, it tastes like 20th century pear.

Sasayama Castletown Hotel NIPPONIA I had breakfast at Sasayama Castletown Hotel NIPPONIA. The breakfast using local ingredients such as “Yamanoimo (Japanese yam)”, which is a specialty of Tanba Sasayama, and Tajima beef was very delicious. It was a very satisfying breakfast. I felt it was better than the dinner French course the day before. Especially, “Yamanoimo (Japanese yam)” was very delicious. “Yamanoimo” from Tanba Sasayama has a round shape and is also called Yamatoimo. Compared to yam, it is much more sticky and has a good flavor. In autumn and winter, the Tanba region may be filled with thick fog called Tanba fog due to the temperature difference. This climate with a large temperature difference grows delicious “Yamanoimo”. The breakfast restaurant was the same place as for dinner. The restaurant was made by making good use of an old folk house, and the courtyard seen from the window was also wonderful. It was a very calm restaurant.   2.

Summary of January itinerary in Japan (Yamagata trip)

By ninjakotan

Summary of January itinerary in Japan (Yamagata trip)   I traveled to Yamagata prefecture (Tohoku region) from January 25th (Tuesday) to January 28th (Friday). On this trip, I was able to eat a lot of seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes, and I was able to visit wonderful tourist destinations such as the national treasure and national important cultural properties. Although it was a trip within the same prefecture, Yamagata Prefecture had different cultures and food cultures depending on the region, so it was a very satisfying trip. This is the January itinerary in Japan that I highly recommend to everyone. In addition, I will report a summary of this trip and some notes.   Table of contents 1.”100 selections of local dishes” and “Local dishes loved by the nation” by this itinerary in Japan 2.

January itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Yamagata Meal edition) (Tuesday, January 25) Table of contents 1. FURUSAWA SAKE BREWERY Sawa Masamune 2. Ekiben 3. Local beer, local sake 4. Notoya Ryokan   1. FURUSAWA SAKE BREWERY Sawa Masamune After sightseeing in Yamagata city, I had a light meal of Yamagata prefecture’s local cuisine and local sake at “FURUSAWA SAKE BREWERY Sawa Masamune” in the Yamagata Station Building “S-PAL Yamagata”. Yamagata Prefecture is a prefecture that boasts of gastronomy and delicious sake, which is called “Yamagata, the best gastronomic and best sake prefecture in Japan.” There is even a homepage called “Oishii (Delicious) Yamagata“. I also think that Yamagata Prefecture’s food and sake are very delicious. The names of the airports in Yamagata Prefecture are “Oishii (Delicious) Yamagata Airport” and “Oishii (Delicious) Shonai Airport”, and both airports are appealing to Gourmand Prefecture. In addition, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture is the only city in Japan that has been certified as a “UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy“. However, I don’t think Yamagata Prefecture is very well known nationwide as a prefecture for gastronomy and best sake. I did some research on the national evaluation.

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)

By ninjakotan

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition) (Sunday, October 24)   Table of contents 1. Breakfast “Ekiben” 2. Lunch “Sushi Masa Main Store” 3. Dinner “Totogen Nishi Maizuru”   1. Breakfast “Ekiben” While waiting for the train at Tsuruga station, I had Ekiben for breakfast. The ekiben is “Tsuruga specialty original Tai sushi” (Yen 1,100). Beautifully colored sushi made with yellowback seabream. The vinegar was slightly moderate, so it brought out the flavor of the yellowback seabream, and it was a very delicious sushi. We had delicious sushi and it was a very satisfying breakfast. Sasa-zuke of Kodai is famous as a specialty of Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, but I think that sushi in Tsuruga City may become more famous as a food that uses the same yellowback seabream. The ekiben package also feels nostalgic and bright, so I think it’s very good. I love Ekiben and want to buy and eat as much as I can when traveling. However, I am disappointed that the sales of Ekiben at local stations are declining due to the recent trend toward higher railway speeds. In 1903 (Meiji 36), Shioso Co., Ltd., which sells “Tsuruga specialty, the originalread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)
