Onigiri Bento Tee

弁当 (bentō): "the boxed lunch."

Japanese train travelers have eaten out of a box since the 1880s. The usual story puts the first ekiben, the station bento, on the platform at Utsunomiya in 1885: two rice balls and a few slices of pickled radish wrapped in bamboo bark. Today every region sells boxes of its own local food at the station, and some travelers plan whole trips around what they'll eat on the train.

Two nori-wrapped onigiri sit on a bed of rice in a black box, with steam curling up toward a red sun. 弁当 (bentō), "boxed lunch," stands out in big brush strokes, and the chest repeats the steaming onigiri in a red circle over a small 弁当.

Pack it for a long train day, the kind planned around the ekiben you'll eat at the window seat. The black box and red sun read cleanly at a glance. The street food collection has its snacks and sodas, but this is the main meal.
