Lawson "Onigiri Okazu Set (Salmon, Sea Chicken Mayonnaise)" 397 yen

From among the new convenience store products, here are some tasty bento boxes that are available for less than one coin (500 yen including tax) and are generous in volume. We will introduce some of the new convenience store items that we have actually tried and thought, "This is one I can recommend! I hope you will find it useful as a reference!

This time we will introduce the new "Onigiri Okazu Set (Salmon, Sea Chicken Mayonnaise)" (397 yen including tax), which went on sale at Lawson on June 6. It is a bento lunch box containing two onigiri and six side dishes. There are not many bento boxes that contain a variety of dishes for less than 400 yen in this day and age.

Onigiri Okazu Set (Salmon, Sea Chicken Mayonnaise)

This bento includes salmon and sea chicken mayonnaise onigiri and side dishes such as croquette, fried chicken, hamburger steak, fried egg, sausage, and takuan. 544 calories per serving, since this bento is recommended to be heated, It is recommended to warm up the bento, so you can eat it after microwaving it for 1 minute (500W).


The croquette is curry flavored! The sweetness of the sweet potato and the spiciness of the curry flavor will stimulate your appetite.


The omelette is soft and fluffy, and warming it up gives it a delicious slightly sweet and savory "grilled" aroma.


The hamburger steak was better than expected! I had imagined it to taste more like meatballs or tsukune, but the hamburger was plump and soft, with a juicy meatiness and flavor that made me happy.


The mini sausages tasted just as I imagined. The plump and crispy texture with decorative slices was delightful.


The fried chicken had a strong flavor with a hint of spice. It is small but has a strong and punchy flavor, so it is very satisfying.


The takuan (pickled radish) is a side dish. It is so casually placed that you may not even notice its presence at first, but is it just me or does it make a big difference in the finished bento? Nibbling on the onigiri between the rice balls and brown side dishes refreshes the palate and makes the meal go further.


The salmon onigiri is a perfect combination of soft and fluffy rice, moist and savory nori seaweed, and soft and fluffy salmon flakes full of flavor. A classic taste! The Tuna Mayo Onigiri has a salty soy sauce flavor, the delicious taste of tuna, and the mild creamy flavor of mayo that makes you crave the best white rice. By warming it up, it tastes just like a freshly made onigiri.



By the way, both onigiri have no ingredients in the rice, just the part you can see, so if you eat this part first, all you will have left is white rice and nori (seaweed). However, there are plenty of ingredients and strong flavors in both, as well as side dishes that go well with the rice, so there is no problem. Before you know it, all the white rice is gone.

The container is compact enough to hold in one hand, but the satisfaction of a single meal is amazing. I think it is very cosy that it costs less than 400 yen. The fact that it is made with domestic rice is also very nice. This bento is perfect for eating at home, at the office, on a business trip, or on the bullet train, and will warm your heart. Please warm it up and eat it when you buy it at the store or at home!
