Ministop's "Tareben" series will be re-launched with two improved versions: "Tareben Pork Ginger Yaki Bento" and "Tareben Chashu Bento". Both will be available at stores in Japan from June 21.

Tareben Pork Ginger Grilled Bento

The "Tare-ben Pork Ginger-yaki Bento" is the first in a series of Tare-ben that can be enjoyed with an optional sauce. This time, the thickness of the pork belly has been adjusted to the nearest 0.1 mm, the pork and onions are sauteed separately, and the pork is cooked at a higher temperature for a shorter time, resulting in a dish that is both visually and texturally pleasing to the palate. The price is 570.24 yen (tax included, for To go, the same below).

Tareben Chashu Bento

The "Tareben Chashu Bento" is also the first in the Tareben series. The pickled chashu pork has been improved, and the rice is topped with bamboo shoots and daikon herbs for a more textured texture. Ume plum is used as a side dish, and the sour ingredients balance the overall flavor. The price is 600.48 yen.
