Hokka Hokka-tei Sohonbu Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Chairman & President: Tatsuya Aoki), a pioneer in the takeout bento business, will sell its "One-Hand BENTO™" — which sold out every single day during its appearance at the Osaka-Kansai Expo last year — at the food area (Wakuwaku Pond Adventure Plaza) of "EXPO2025 Futures Festival," to be held at Expo Commemoration Park (Suita City) on Sunday, April 12, 2026.

Hokka Hokka-tei to exhibit at the Osaka-Kansai Expo 1st Anniversary Memorial Event

Hokka Hokka-tei developed and launched the "One-Hand BENTO" specifically for its appearance at the Osaka-Kansai Expo , with the concept of "a futuristic bento you can eat easily with one hand." The one-handed style we proposed received tremendous feedback — visitors said it "was a lifesaver while rushing between exhibits" and that they could "enjoy authentic Japanese flavors with ease" — resulting in daily sellouts.

To mark the milestone of the first anniversary since opening, Hokka Hokka-tei will make a one-day triumphant return to Expo Commemoration Park — home of the Myaku-Myaku statue — in conjunction with "EXPO2025 Futures Festival," the 2025 Japan World Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo) 1st Anniversary Memorial Event, where visitors can look back on the Expo and envision the future together. Relive the excitement of a year ago, or embrace new hopes for the future, as you enjoy an evolved One-Hand experience.

・Most Popular! One-Hand BENTO Nori-ben (Seaweed Bento)

Based on Hokka Hokka-tei's original "Nori-ben," this item has been reimagined with a vision of the future. With each bite, the popular accompaniments of the classic Nori-ben — such as white fish fry and chikuwa isobe (tubular fish cake in seaweed batter) — spread through your mouth.

Served on sixteen-grain rice drizzled with smooth katsuobushi soy sauce, with a kick of mustard mayonnaise, this is the most popular item in the entire series.
