bento

s at Tokyo Station. If you have ever been to Tokyo Station, you will know that there are tons of

bento

shops everywhere and there is so much to choose from that it is really daunting for anyone to go. There, for the first time, the thing about bento is that, in general, they are sometimes unpredictable. In fact, I've had some bad bentos myself, so in this video I wanted to show you some of my favorite stores, some of my favorite bentos. so when you go there you know which ones you might like yourselves oh one more thing if you want to see what I do on a daily basis or what I do behind the scenes for these shoots then check out my Instagram account okay let's get started and let's get to the Tokyo

station

.

Tokyo Station is one of the main transportation hubs connecting local

train

and Shinkansen lines, but what many people don't realize is that Tokyo Station has some of the most incredible ones. Food shops and some of the bentos are a

must

before embarking on a long Shinkansen

train

journey. Trust me, you'll thank me later, so let me break it down for you. There are basically four main vents in the commercial areas of Tokyo Station. Sharp chaos

street

to the south. sharp court iki Panama City and grand grandpa says on the basement floor, while the other three are on the first floor, you can easily access grants a commercial area from the stairs right next to the sharp entrance of the south court is fine, Let's start with one of my favorite sushi places Waka in Tokyo, it has great style, this place has all kinds of sushi.

This time I bought a Caisson Bowl, but you can actually get small packets, so if you're on the train you can't eat as much. It's really perfect. This is the A place that Michael and I always go to and take the Shinkansen, one is close to the entrance so it's very easy to pick up and two, it's really fresh quality, in fact when you look at the store they are cutting the fish right in front. of you, so it's almost like, excuse me, market and this bulk Kaizen here actually has Otoro tuna, it has uni, which is sea urchin and that's equator, which is salmon roe, it also has a little bit of egg and some ginger and then it's all on top. of rice and the reason I bought this one today is also because it's the fanciest one they have, it's quite expensive so if you don't want to get the most, definitely the cheaper packets they have are pretty good too, don't do it . worry about getting the most expensive.

I just wanted to show you what you can get for so much. Oh, and it's worth it. It looks so good. A nice, plump sea urchin. You know I love sea urchins. Okay, let's take a bite. fresh, I love it, salmon roe, maybe CUDA is nice and lumpy, it just appears in your mouth so call the juices popping, look at that, you can even add some rice, yes, your wasabi and you have the large piece of tuna. I love it, how you can try it. the oils from the fish are just pouring out into my mouth, it's not just the bluefin tuna where this is total, like you can taste all the fat and all the spirals melting in your mouth.

I'm glad we definitely have this one, if you want. I'm looking for sushi. This is the place to go. You have to try it. I'll see more butt. I never get one this fancy when I travel alone, so it's not as fat as I thought. He's fatter, but he doesn't weigh as much tonight. Kunie, yes. It has a great s look at this, it's amazing to me, you get the total, it's very difficult to make a comment. Oh, the sushi is fresh or not, but it's fresh, it was very good, it's poor bento quality. I recommend number 2. no D bayonet, yes, my nobody, so this is called Naughty Ben.

It's supposed to be like a cheap, affordable bento that you're supposed to like, like pick it up anywhere, but this one we have today is more premium. side, so if you are looking for a higher quality Naughty Ben then this is the place to go. The ingredients themselves can be seen as if they are not the most expensive. I'm ingredients, so I would like it not to depend, they are generally cheaper, but this. the place has the premium version ms: I'm trying it today we have chicken and salmon tempura it's like a tempura fried fish cake we have some spinach with egg I think this is a pickled daikon this is like noodles a little spicy and then you have something like no D and then it's like on a bed of rice, it's quite heavy, so I was talking to the star staff, she told me this store is their third store, it has a G insky and they have one in Ginza.

I thought it said obaasan, which is grandma's, but it's actually a house, so a group of moms make this so they can only make a limited amount. These are a somewhat limited quantity. I can make bento it's not enough factory or anything like that. It's another reason why they are so premium. I have some rice, I have some, no, I lost my piece of salmon, there you go, piece of salmon ready to eat mmm, it is very well marinated, it almost sounds like a hint of vinegar, finally salty, the fish is delicious and moist, it has a pleasant consistency. what you would expect from a salmon, but you definitely understand why this is a nice premium piece of work.

Look at this, okay, so let's try that chicken with this big piece mm-hmm so that the Chippewas oh, it's more like what you would expect from a normal bento. For me it's nothing special, it's not just battered tempura, but it also has a nut that is seaweed-like flakes inside the tempura, which gives it a nice seaweed flavor, so generally I wouldn't choose this type of bento because I really don't. Like I'm Jack, can we go to Chucky? It's one way the Japanese eat Chucky, which would be salmon, it's super salty. I don't like it much, but maybe this fancy place could have worked very well.

Wow, it's so soft. it just breaks louisina it's like I can really taste it let me like salmon oil but it's not oily or dry it's really good no dduba dduba today I'm not a good movie Moshe no no no no no wonderful no zero at all number three Daruma bento in one Cuban mud city so look we have a Daruma bento it's so cute for this Daruma bento is a limited bento offered at guma in the Takasaki area apparently like this bento shop we went to in Tokyo

station

sells bentos from all over Japan and they were able to get this bento at that store, so luckily you like it, you don't have to go all the way to guma and get it, you can go to Tokyo station and get this one, it's a little hidden. oh I don't have it, it's hidden, but it's where all the junior trains are located.

It's cute, you can use it as a coin bank in the future. oh, it smells really good, in fact, on the second one, this is one of Michael's favorites. I usually don't do it. Get this kind of stuff because it's very vegetal. I can see basically what it has: some bamboo shoots, pickled shiitake, some spinach, some other mushrooms, it has Kuti, that's konyaku, which is like a vegetable jelly. What is this? It looks like shrunken gum and it has chicken in it, let's take a bite of this stuffed with mushrooms mmm, that's decent, who writes it, it looks like it's very sweet, so just right, it looks like it's been cooked with soy sauce, It's the other Chucky, call me, yeah, this dougie.

Come on, it's actually pretty good. I will leave you all these things. I'm just going to try the chicken because you don't like chicken that much. Hmm, that chicken almost tastes like if you've ever had roast duck like the same kind of texture, the same kind of flavors, but it's chicken, it's really good. I wish they had more things like this. This is perfect for people like Michaels, eyes that don't eat as much. I'm not a woman because I'll be sexist, okay? so like Paulo said it's actually my favorite, it doesn't look good to be honest, it's so like grandma's bento.

I was actually afraid to try it first, but as my coworkers tell me, this is really good, just try it, but I tried it. very good, yes, a good mom has no ocean, so everything is from Mountain Mountain, so I will start with this Kikuta, yes, delight, oh well, we start again, whose ingredients have their unique texture, everything is married in one different way, in the perfect way. that's why it looks ugly but it's a good number for burgers at suvamay grill tsubame grill is a famous baaga steak and ham restaurant chain but it can be found in many department stores and shopping areas and they have a deli right inside the south corner.

How nice the steak is. In fact, it is served in foil at the restaurant just as it is in this bento. Check out this aluminum foil madness. I have never seen other bentos that come complete. Wow, this smells so good you can see all the sauces in there. Look at his chopsticks. I don't think these came with anything small, right? I'll see, it's meat on meat, so they have steak on top of the burger. It came in hot, but just like the transition transfer to the house, it got a little cold let me heat this up real quick and let me enjoy it properly yeah I already ate a lot of

food

yeah so we didn't press record but it happens , so I guess we'll start from here, guys.

I miss the piece of steak that was on top and my reaction was quite tender. The sauce itself has a demi-glace and the sauces are good, so let's take the first bite of this, which is no longer our first bite. This Hamburg is really good. it is still moist, you can get a lot of them, they like the juiciness in it, it is not fully cooked and hard, you can see that the outside is almost blackened, but the inside is very soft and mushy, you can see the onion pieces. who are still here, I'm looking into this, this is even like slices of bacon inside the meat, that's amazing, that's why it tasted so good like not the traditional bento, but if you want some rice with this, you can definitely ask them, believe.

They will charge extra for it, but they offer number five Newton bento rice from Riku. I bought something by Goethe. Now this one doesn't come from the bento market, but this one comes from a store right away. You will need the beef tongue from him. Just like in their store, they serve it in the restaurant, but right in front of the restaurant they have places where they sell the bentos and if you are looking for Tong, this is my recommendation. The good thing about this place is that they have several different sizes. and they also had a Newton which is kind of a thinner version of the Agathon and it has like a police string where it vaporizes and cooks and heats up, but with this one I really enjoy thicker pieces of ti.

Tong, so it is like that. This one I have the six pieces of Butte here, it has a mixture of like pickled egg, spinach, onion, carrot, and then it has like a miso, like a pickled miso sauce, and then it also has another one like doot, there's kind of an interesting , okay, so let's try this cute hmm, it's moist from being so thick, I mean, from being the snake, I mean, it's a little chewy, but that's to be expected, you can see the juices that are still there, it's very, very humid. and it's soft, it has a nice bounce when you chew it, it's so tasty like it's been picked up like all the charcoal and all the barbecue has been picked up really well.

Sometimes what people do is take this miso and put it on the fire by itself and then eat it just like that, combined with the rice it gives it another texture and flavor. I think this is one of the best Meudon bentos in Tokyo station number six. meadow sandwiches When this sandwich came from the best sandwich shops in Tokyo, they basically have all kinds of sandwiches, they had this one like a pork kutsu sandwich, but they also have dessert sandwiches like a strawberry sandwich. I think Pete's sandwiches even had a blueberry sandwich like This is one of my recommended stores to go to because it's like everything, but they have a pork sandwich and these, I think they're not mass produced, they're probably like, oh, I don't know, but they don't feel it. like the mass produced ones, I mean look how thick it is, it's crazy, how thick it is, I love it, like Japanese sandwiches, I cut the crust off and everything you see inside has pork cuts, ooh, lettuce here , mayonnaise.

Believe it, there is something like butter and something else, but let's take a bite of this bad boy that is incredibly good, a nice, moist, tender crust on the outside of the pork katsu. It's still crispy. This one also has katsu sauce as a sweet barbecue sauce. What they put in, but it's a Japanese type of barbecue sauce, but yeah, wow, that's good, the only downside is that after three bites of a baby, half of it is almost gone, so the serving size is Pretty small so if you're a big eater, you might want to get the value pack you might want to get like two of these sandwiches because they sell out quickly.

Number seven tensed up bento whoohoo in a Cuban mud town come on man we had to get it right it's funny because when I was getting this vent oh there's actually a kid in front and he was just pointing out the different desaad and the ones you are collecting and the kids love this stuff so I have to share it with you because if you have kids then they are going to love this and I love it too. I want to see that this is better than a Happy Meal. Look, there's no damn train like this and they had this corner in the store that'slike bento for kids. so they had all different types of trains, they even have some anime character bentos that you know, kids love it, it's incredibly awesome, let's get this party started, it smells a lot like a kids party like this, this reminds me of primary school lunch, you know what they would give you, in fact, it looks a lot better, oh, maybe those short chopsticks I had before were for this, maybe it was like kids bento, that's what it sounds like, why What did these little ones know that the adults would be eating?

This I mean the kids will love it and it's like a mini fried chicken burger, which is my favorite tempura fried shrimp with two fries, pasta noodles with peas, carrots and corn, it's a Japanese flag, tell me book what fish looks like. cake flag fish cake is great, okay let's try this real quick, it smells good, mmm actually not bad, it's like a kid's

food

, nothing special about the chickens, both dry and very dry. I'm surprised, although you'd think Japan would be completely good. fried chicken in general why would they put dry fried chicken in this and not just like normal fried chicken which is and overall good its almost like their cheap bento at the competition its like the same quality that kids would still like from anyway if you don't eat the food you can still play with the train and keisuke bento number eight in a tsukino bento this shop is in the south courtyard apparently this is chef Shintaro's sake shop with three Michelin stars and all the Bentos are made on hand, so this is your Keisuke bento has like little mini plates perfect for you know someone who likes to try everything.

It has pickled carrots, potatoes with chopped cucumbers, egg, it has a pumpkin with raisins on top of this bed of rice. You have like shredded salmon. and you're in trouble again I'm not too excited about things like this case that you do Ben because it's not my thing, I feel like I'm what Michael likes the most, yeah, I'm not too excited about this one, it's so much Adam. event oh okay I'm so full but I'll try this rock side because it's all pickles you just work oh my gosh okay oh the rice is really good oh the fish is good let's try it with egg People say, then you go to the sushi restaurant. eat the egg to decide if this check is good oh, I don't like pumpkin, I don't like carrots, I don't like potatoes, I don't like celery in chicken, my favorite, but I know girls love it this. like small plates, you surprisingly like Maiko and honestly, I don't like this.

I don't like it so much because there are a lot of pickled things. Mike, on the other hand, didn't like some of the flavors, but overall, this is his number one popular bento at that store. I almost feel like there are people who would like this. It's just not me. I'm not saying this place is bad or that you shouldn't go to this place if you have more of a refined taste that maybe even an older person would like, then this is probably something you would like if you have a more elegant taste. Unfortunately this is one of the top eight videos but it should have been one of the top ten but the two bentos I have it in front of me so basically the bento itself has a string and you take it out and it cooks the ingredients inside Unfortunately the ones we tried were not very good.

In fact, I had another one before with some success. I was really hoping these two would be really good, but I can't include them because they're not very good. It's sad because I really wanted to show them. I like how delicious heated bed doughs are. I guess I have bad luck with them, so they won't be included in this video anyway.
