Imahan is a super famous restaurant. I haven't eaten at the main store, but I've tried their snacks, bento boxes, and souvenirs under the Imahan brand. Once a brand becomes well-known, it sells itself without much effort. It's quite difficult to replicate the taste of the restaurant in a bento box. It's challenging, but trying to deliver the deliciousness of the meat is quite tough. The box looks impressive, clearly high-end. When you open it, there's a sukiyaki bento inside! The green onions are fresh! The meat is undeniably delicious, but given the price, it didn't quite meet the level of an Imahan bento. It's a reasonable option for a bento, but it's difficult to capture the Imahan brand in a bento box. A lunch that made me realize the difficulty of bento boxes. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing the morning meeting, I had a pre-ordered bento box. This time it was the "Tsuzumi" bento box for 1,296 yen. When I opened the lid, I was surprised. It was clearly a bento box designed for women. Very elegant presentation. I believe the portion size would be unsatisfactory for adult men!

Today's lunch box is a seasonal limited edition for 3780 yen. It includes sukiyaki, fried food, simmered dishes, and a variety of other items. The taste is pretty good.

Seasonal limited hospitality bento [Oritome] Kuroge Wagyu Sukeroku 1,620 yen (including tax) was delicious even when cold.

The bento for meetings is on the higher end. The portion size is just right for those on a diet. The taste is average. There are a decent variety of options, but they tend to lean towards soy sauce flavor.

The bento box served at the training session on Sunday was delicious. It cost 2000 yen and came with sukiyaki sauce on the side. The shrimp was a bit tricky to eat, so I just ate it whole, head and all! It was so delicious!

The sukiyaki bento is delicious♪

It is useful

There are many bento options, but when thinking about a bento with meat, Imahan comes to mind first. Imahan is known for its sukiyaki, which is considered a high-end option, but surprisingly, their bento is quite affordable. Prices start at 1,000 yen, which is great for everyday use. Even though it's 1,000 yen, when you think of Imahan, you think of sukiyaki, so you might want to go for a slightly better option. The gold sukiyaki and silver sukiyaki are also intriguing, but on this day, I went for the most affordable one. Even so, there is a good amount of meat and it comes with a half-cooked egg. The meat is delicious, after all.

Last year, I had the opportunity to try the bento from Ningyocho Imahan, and this year I was fortunate enough to have the chance to eat it again. Imahan in Ningyocho is a branch that originated from the original Imahan in Asakusa. The most famous branch is probably Ningyocho Imahan. The original Imahan was opened in 1952 as "Asakusa Imahan Nihonbashi Branch," and then split into Asakusa Imahan and Ningyocho Imahan in 1956. This time, I ordered the "Matsuri Hayashi" bento (a limited-time product for July and August) for 2,500 yen including tax from the delivery-only shop Ningyocho Imahan Omotenashi Bento. The bento is a three-tiered box tied with a gold string, which is quite eye-catching. It comes with soup and a bottle of tea. The main highlight of this bento is the black wagyu sukiyaki, which is Imahan's specialty. The sukiyaki, even when cold, melts in your mouth and is undeniably delicious. The side dishes include grilled black cod with miso and asparagus wrapped in chicken with egg yolk tempura. The flavors are gentle and not like typical cold bento dishes. The chicken-wrapped asparagus with egg yolk tempura is a particularly intricate dish with a delicious blend of flavors. The rice dish features beef thigh steak on white dashi rice, topped with rolled omelet, edamame, and konbu simmered in soy sauce. The steak is tender and delicious, and when all the ingredients are eaten together, they create an exquisite flavor. The soup is also rich with ingredients like edamame, turnip, shimeji mushrooms, and crab meat. In the competitive world of high-end bento boxes, this bento from Ningyocho Imahan stands out in terms of both quality and cost-effectiveness. It may not be suitable for everyday lunches due to the price, but it is perfect for official lunch meetings. Eating a delicious bento like this can bring a sense of happiness. Just like how a salesperson once treated me to a bento from "Nadaman," which led to a significant purchase, high-end bentos have the potential to create such memorable experiences. I hope to have the opportunity to enjoy this bento again in the future.

Luxurious Imahan bento box from Ningyocho. I had it for lunch at a certain gathering. As expected from Imahan, the quality of the bento was surprisingly high. It was my first time having such a high-quality bento. The bento included new ginger rice, moroheiya and okra with sesame dressing, silver Kyoto-style grilled fish, small eggplant with yellow seasoning, deep-fried tofu with koya tofu, simmered duck meatballs, Oku-Kuji egg, and Imahan's proud black wagyu sukiyaki. The variety of dishes was amazing. The bento box alone must have been quite expensive. The portion size of each dish was small, so even women can finish it, and the high quality of the food makes it a satisfying bento. After having it, I felt like going to the store to have sukiyaki again. Thank you for the meal.

If you're looking for a simple yet delicious bento box, the one from Imahan is perfect! It features a square design divided into four sections, with a variety of dishes like simmered dishes, grilled fish, sukiyaki, and roast beef chirashi sushi. Each dish is straightforward with a solid flavor profile. This bento box pairs well with drinks - enjoy some anago inari sushi while sipping on sake, nibble on duck meatballs while sipping on beer, or have some pork miso stir-fry with rice balls while enjoying a refreshing ruby red drink. It's perfect for any occasion, even for cherry blossom viewing!

Last Sunday, there was a live operation seminar on All-on-4 & Zygomatic Implant at the Ando Dental Clinic in Asaka. I was invited as a lecturer and had planned to present long-term cases of Zygomatic Implants, but I was asked to talk about Sinus Lift trouble cases. I gave a lecture on the anatomical aspects of otolaryngology and surgical techniques to prevent Sinus Lift complications. In the morning, there was a live operation of Zygomatic Implants by Dr. Ando, and for lunch, we were served a Sukiyaki bento box. Surprisingly, it was warm and delicious, thanks to advancements in technology. Although it was more expensive than a regular cold bento box, it was definitely worth the price. It reminded me of a TV commercial in Nagoya that says, "It's expensive but tastes great," and that's exactly how I would describe the deliciousness of the meal.

I had the opportunity to enjoy a bento box from this delivery-only store. I don't usually have the chance to eat from Imahan, but this must be fate. I remember trying Imahan's bento during a campaign by a certain housing company, and also eating one on the Shinkansen and reviewing it at Tokyo Station's Gransta. Imahan is famous for its locations in Asakusa and Ningyocho, with branches like the main store in Asakusa, the separate branch in Asakusa, Asakusa Imahan near Asakusa View Hotel, Yoyogi Imahan, and Ningyocho Imahan. The origin of Ningyocho Imahan dates back to the establishment of Asakusa Imahan Nihonbashi branch in 1952, which split into Asakusa Imahan and Ningyocho Imahan in 1956. I ordered the "Shoho" bento box from this store's website, which cost 2,500 yen including tax. The bento box, which resembled a three-tiered jubako box tied with a gold string, came with clear soup and tea. The first tier contained Imahan's famous black wagyu sukiyaki, which was delicious and flavorful. The second tier had grilled duck, onsen tamago, fried taro sprouts with quail egg, herring roe and scallop matsumae-zuke, red and white namasu, and strawberry dessert with salted plum. The third tier featured crab chirashi and roast beef. Overall, the bento box was a good value for the quality of food provided. Imahan's bento boxes were once considered unattainable, but now they are more accessible thanks to the evolution of the food industry. This experience made me realize that competition in any industry leads to consumer satisfaction.

This time, I ordered the children's celebration meal for a home celebration. They deliver it to your home within the specified time. I have used this service before for my older child's Shichi-Go-San celebration and found it convenient, so I am a repeat customer. ★ O-kuizome (6480 yen) Ganizenzan - Girl's celebration meal: red rice, clear soup, simmered dish, pickles, pickled plum, teething stone, whole head snapper There was also an instruction manual on how to do the O-kuizome. The celebration bag with the teething stone is included. The meal also comes with dishes. The clear soup comes in a thermos with the broth already in it, and you just need to pour hot water in before serving. After the O-kuizome, we all shared the meal. The clear soup was rich in flavor and delicious. The whole head snapper was elegant and just the right size. We later enjoyed snapper rice and snapper tea pickles with it. The fish was plump and delicious! ★ Shoho (2500 yen) Black Wagyu sukiyaki, Oku-Kuji egg onsen tamago, red and white pickled vegetables, herring roe and Matsushima pickles, grilled duck on charcoal, pickled ginger, vinegar citrus, tempura with cod roe, roast beef and crab chirashi, red turnip pickles, decorated plum, strawberry For this meal, we couldn't heat it up in the microwave, so we just had it as it was. The three-tiered container looked festive and was perfect for a celebratory occasion. Despite being cold, the meat was tender and delicious. We enjoyed the sukiyaki by mixing the onsen tamago with the meat. My eldest daughter was thrilled with the colorful decorations and flower-shaped gluten. The tempura with cod roe was very crispy, with a lot of batter and hardly any fish inside... I ordered by phone or online and paid on the day of delivery. They also accept credit card payments. They mentioned they would come to pick up the dishes the evening of the same day or the next day. During this season, it's cold and dining out with a baby is difficult, so it was great to be able to have the celebration meal at home. Celebration chopsticks were also included.

I used the delivery service provided by Ningyocho Imahan, known for its sukiyaki, to order a seasonal bento box called "Ozara" Summer Beauty (¥1620). When choosing a bento box, the presentation is just as important as the taste. In that sense, Imahan's bento boxes excel in both taste and appearance, making them suitable for various occasions. The Summer Beauty bento box had a well-balanced selection of simmered dishes, sesame-dressed vegetables, and grilled fish, offering a variety that doesn't feel monotonous. The rice dishes, such as black wagyu inarizushi and pork miso grilled rice, were satisfying without being overwhelming. The colors were vibrant, and the flavors were delicious, making it a high-quality bento box. Although the price is on the higher side, orders over ¥7,560 can be delivered within Tokyo's 23 wards without additional shipping costs (some areas in Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa are also eligible). This is convenient compared to other places that require orders in large quantities for delivery. Credit card payment is also accepted, adding to the convenience. Overall, I highly recommend it. Thank you for the meal.
