On our return trip from Morioka to Tokyo, we took the Shinkansen (Bullet Train). As it was a fairly long journey that took us through lunch, we decided to buy a couple of Eki-ben.

Eki-ben which is short for Eki-Bento is essentially a lunch box that is sold by the station. Throughout Japan, each station will have its own lunch box speciality based on ingredients or specialities from the area. In our case, I had their assorted mountain vegetables and chicken rice set; while my wife had the sea urchin, salmon eggs and rice set.
