3 Features of "Obento Korokoro"
1. The Community's "Second Kitchen"
To become the community's "second kitchen," our shop thoroughly incorporates customer needs. Originally, there was a sandwich shop in the same location, and hearing many voices saying "Do you have rice balls or bento?" while working there became the catalyst for starting a bento shop. In addition, listening to comments like "I have plenty of rice at home," we sell side dishes and rice separately, and responding to the desire to feed children safe food, we strictly adhere to making everything by hand, utilizing customer feedback in our store creation.
2. Dedication to Ingredients
What is most required of a second kitchen is a bento that is delicious even when it gets cold or is reheated. We use "Aichi no Kaori" rice produced in Aichi Prefecture, which has earned a reputation for being delicious even when cold because the grains are firm. In addition, we use many local ingredients and will continue to deliver the "safe and delicious" food that customers desire to their dining tables.
