Ekiben Boxed Lunches for Train Travel
on 01 Nov 2019 by Japan Video Topics – English
There’s something about Ekiben. I don’t know why, but when I travel by train in Japan, I eat Ekiben whenever possible.
It’s more expensive and less choices than Convini-Bento (Boxed lunches you can buy at a convenience store).
Still I want to buy it because, I think, it makes my ordinary train journey exciting and enjoyable.
