Bento Kokoro e

Would you rather make crisp, breaded fried food the star of your meal, or choose grilled meat that goes well with rice? Bento Kokoro e has bento to suit either mood. Several diners have praised the fried items for their crisp coating and easy-to-eat texture. Alongside the karaage bento, one customer who ordered fried prawns separately singled out the crunch of the coating and the size of the prawns. If you’re in the mood for fried food, you can choose it as your main dish or add a separate item to your meal.

The grilled-meat bento has drawn comments describing a charcoal-like aroma and tender meat. It’s an option when you’re after a rice-friendly main with a different character from the fried dishes. Hamburg steak bento is also available; one customer recommended it at 850 yen. Diners have also noted that some bento include several side dishes, such as simmered vegetables. One family who tried the chicken nanban and hamburg steak bento enjoyed the variety of dishes. There’s also a bento combining fried prawns and karaage, which may appeal if you like a little of each.

A daily bento is available, and the restaurant advises checking Instagram for that day’s offering. If you’re visiting around lunchtime, you can call ahead and arrange a collection time. Bento Kokoro e serves takeaway and delivery; dine-in is not available.
