Around 15 types of lunchboxes are available, including “Chicken Bento,” “Fukagawa-meshi,” “Ofunaken Pressed Horse Mackerel Sushi,” and “Small Pressed Horse Mackerel Sushi.”
Business hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and sales end when items are sold out. Payment can be made only with public transportation IC cards.
