Yasui Seiniku Nerima-ten

One of the clear advantages of ordering bento here is that each meal is prepared upon order, allowing customers to take home warm, freshly made food. Yasui Seiniku Nerima-ten centers its boxed meals around butcher-shop cuts and preparations, complementing the counter's take-home deli dishes to support everyday meals. Even a standard portion comes with a hearty serving of rice, providing a thoroughly filling pairing for the meats.

The fried chicken bento is a perennial favorite, packed with large chunks of robustly seasoned karaage. An accompaniment of tartar sauce lets diners vary the flavor profile as they eat. The shop also excels in fragrant grilled fare, including salt-seasoned grilled pork served over a bed of shredded cabbage, as well as classic pork ginger (shogayaki).

For something different, the hamburger steak bento offers a firm, dense patty finished with a tangy ketchup-based sauce, while the sweet-leaning Japanese beef tendon curry comes loaded with tender, simmered beef. Situated on a calm street just off the main road, the shop is a reliable stop when looking for substantial meat mains at lunch or dinner.
