🪑 About the overall atmosphere 🎡
The store has air conditioning and features a minimalist Japanese decor, with many posters written in Japanese adorning the walls. There aren’t many seats, accommodating about a dozen people. Although it seems to primarily focus on ramen, I ordered:

🍴 About the dishes ☕
There are three side dishes: dried small fish with tofu, baby corn, and crispy cabbage, along with a fixed portion of minced meat. While the tofu isn't the smooth type I prefer, it pairs nicely with the small fish for flavor. I’m not a fan of the baby corn, so I passed on that; the flavors were quite similar. The crispy cabbage was incredibly delicious—it feels rare these days to find something this good in a bento! The minced meat was also tasty, though a bit salty; drizzling it over the small amount of rice made it very flavorful. I thought the chicken was cooked so well that I was almost convinced I was eating beef—it was very delicious, though the rice portion was a bit small.

🤨 Conclusion ♥
Not ordering ramen at a place that specializes in it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity, but the impression of how delicious this bento was makes me feel like I definitely have to try the ramen next time.
