The “Tezutsu Hanabi Bento” is a bento boxed lunch box from Toyohashi Station, named after “Tezutsu Hanabi,” which is said to have originated in Toyohashi and is dedicated during festivals in the Higashi Mikawa region.
The packaging is also visually appealing, evoking the image of handheld fireworks cinched with a rope. The bento itself is a two-tiered bento-style container, the upper tier of which is a set of nori rolls arranged to resemble a fireworks display. The lower tier is filled with a variety of side dishes.
The top tier of nori rolls has a lively color scheme with kanpyo, sakura denbu, egg, kanikama, and shiso pickles. The large nori maki in the center is a combination of sweetened dried gourd, sweet sakura-denbu, and sweetened omelet. The combination of sweetness and vinegared rice is typical of the taste of Tsuboya, which also makes the famous “inari-zushi” boxed lunch box at Toyohashi Station. The surrounding nori rolls come in a variety of flavors, including shiso pickles, scallion tsukudani, and nishikitate tamago. The upper section alone is a solid volume.
The chicken tsukune on the bottom shelf has a firm, elastic texture and a chicken-like flavor that makes the most of the ingredients. The slightly salty takuan (pickled radish) is thick and chewy, and has the presence of a side dish, not just a side dish.
The prawn tempura, scallop stew, and lotus root stew are all much larger than they appear, and although it is not a large ekiben, the overall experience is very satisfying. In addition, there were many other standard bento side dishes such as shiitake mushrooms, burdock root, carrot, konnyaku simmered vegetables, grilled salmon, edamame as a snack, and sakura mochi as a dessert. Both the quantity and the variety of flavors in this bento were highly satisfying.
