At lunchtime, I had some errands to run. After finishing my tasks and realizing I was running late, I thought about buying something on my way back. As I was driving, I caught a glimpse of a sign that said "bento" on the edge of my vision! I stopped the car to take a look, and to my surprise, the store that I had only seen the sign of before now had an "OPEN" sign hanging outside! With no prior knowledge, I decided to stop by the store called "Kiyomiya." I initially thought it was a takeout-only place, but they also had table seating available for dining in. From the sign, I gathered that "Kiyomiya" offers steak bento, "Hokkaido Mai" offers seafood bento, and "Butsusho" offers pork bowls, all operated by Master Foods Co., Ltd. When I searched online, I found that "Kiyomiya" was listed as pending for registration. I contacted the support team at Tabelog and was informed that a new listing with the correct address had been made for "Kiyomiya." Upon examining the menu displayed on the wall and windows (I have photos but they are hard to see, so I will list them out), the options included: Kiyomiya: Gyugyuu Bento (beef bento) for 1200 yen, Beef Shigure Don (beef and onion rice bowl) for 800 yen, Gyudon (beef bowl) for 600 yen Butsusho: Buta Kakuni Don (braised pork belly bowl) for 900 yen, Butsusho Butadon (pork bowl) for 800 yen, Butsusho Bento (pork bento) for 800 yen Hokkaido Mai: Kani Hotate (crab and scallop) for 900 yen, Kani Ikura (crab and salmon roe) for 900 yen, Salmon Ikura (salmon and salmon roe) for 900 yen And the daily special: Nikuiri Chahan (meat fried rice) for 500 yen Following the poster inside the store, the beef is sourced from Daikin Chikusan and aged, the pork is from Furukawa Pork and aged, and the ikura is from Oki Ju Gyokyo. The prices seemed to correspond to the quality of the ingredients, and although the meat fried rice was tempting for its price, I opted for the Pork Bento priced at 800 yen. I was asked to wait while they prepared my order, and while waiting, I was served water and a snack (laughs). After about 15 minutes, my order was ready, and I returned home to enjoy it. The pork loin was cooked with just the right amount of oil and coated with a flavorful sauce. The store had Soraichi pork bowl sauce and Soraichi steak sauce available for purchase, so they might have used them, but the pork sauce that came with the bento had a rich sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar. The pork itself was delicious, so even though the bento was a bit pricey at 800 yen, the taste was satisfying. The bento included sautéed onions, which added a nice touch, and while I'm not sure if they were also used in the pork bowl, the combination worked well. Looking at the store's calendar, I noticed that from the second week of September, they would be participating in product exhibitions from Okinawa and Kanazawa, so if you call ahead to place an order, you can pick it up right away. When I asked if they were open if the sign was out, they confirmed that they were, so it seems you can wait for your order to be prepared on-site. As I was leaving after picking up my order and paying, they even gave me some cookies that I hadn't touched (laughs). If you have some extra cash, I recommend trying the Gyugyuu Bento! Thank you for the meal.

Beef Kalbi Bento (500 yen) - This bento consists of beef and rice, along with two slices of potatoes and pickled radish. The kalbi is full of richness and flavor, making it perfect with rice. The portion size is moderate, but the satisfying feeling from the fatty kalbi makes it just right. Considering the cost of only one coin, the content is more than enough and offers great value for money.

I bought a bento box at the Hokkaido exhibition at Tottori Daimaru in the past, and I had it again this time. Despite not being deceived by the word "Hokkaido," it still tastes delicious. It's not cheap, but it definitely feels different from eating meat and seafood in Tottori. Is it because of the Hokkaido brand? As long as it's delicious, that's all that matters. Thank you for the meal.

I also purchased this at Daimaru in Hokkaido City. When you think of Hokkaido City, you tend to think of seafood, but I was drawn to the thick hamburger steak. It's a three-meat bento box... hamburger steak, steak, and grilled meat? The typical raised bottom container for this type of meal, but the main focus is the meat. The layers are rice, seaweed, and on top is the hamburger steak. Next to it is the grilled meat and thinly sliced steak. It comes with sauce, pickles, and nanohana for color. The steak has a strong garlic flavor, the grilled meat is well-seasoned, and the hamburger steak is voluminous but a bit dry. Still, it's satisfying to eat and good value for the price.

There used to be a special event space on the 5th floor of Tottori Daimaru in Tottori City, where occasionally regional product exhibitions from places like Hokkaido were held. The turnout was decent, but it wasn't packed with customers. However, now the 5th floor has been turned into a permanent store space called Tottori Play's, there were still quite a few people visiting the smaller product exhibitions, including myself. Personally, I think it would be better to select shops of this size for exhibition. In fact, many items were sold out. This time, I bought this steak and hamburger bento. The price exceeded 2000 yen, but the meat was delicious and there was a lot of it, so I split it into two meals for lunch and dinner. It had a strong garlic flavor that I like, and I was very satisfied. Delicious! Let's meet again at the product exhibition!

Hamburg steak bento (500 yen) - A juicy and tender hamburger steak. Delicious. Despite being only 500 yen, it is not a cheap imitation hamburger, but a solid hamburger steak! Comes with potatoes as a side dish, maintaining the usual generous portion!
