This version of local bento boxes came from a new neighborhood “Mom & Pop” restaurant. The bento was what I would call a kiddies-size, about half the regular portions. The meal consisted of rice, umeboshi, hotdog, deep-fried pork cutlet, deep-fried sardines, potato salad, beans, tofu, seaweed, and hard-boiled egg. Accompanying the bento box was a soup with the flavor of soba broth.
