Eki Ben

I really missed the bento from Japan's train station. It really completes your trip to Japan.
Maybe it's the packaging, maybe it's the ume or the rice ball or some other things that attracts me. I remembered eating one bento where I absolutely had no idea what all the ingredients were.

A typical bento costs around the range of 700 to 1200 yen. But it is cheaper to get it from the kiosks at the station, instead of inside the train.

Bentos served inside the trains is usually more than 1000 yen, at least for me, so far. Actually, come to think of it, it is not cheap to eat bentos. You can have a sumptuous lunch set at only 1000 yen, which is more worth it than a bento.

But then again, what is a Japan trip without trains and bentos? Like they've said: Do what the Japanese do in Japan!
