After strolling around the (not so fancy) neighborhood last weekend I discovered this restaurant offer steaks starting from 30,000 Yen up to 157,000 Yen.
That is around 1000 Dollars or 1000 Euro. Please note that we are talking 200 grams of steak here and not the whole cow.
Let’s hope the sauce does not cost an extra 20,000 Yen.
ChoroQ is playing with the well known Japanese lunchbox idea (bento).
In Japan special lunchboxes are sold at train stations and are called Eki Ben (train lunchbox). Maybe some of you already heard of “eki ben”.
Now toy and model car manufacturer ChoroQ launched a very special kind of “eki ben”: a lunchbox that contains 8 toy trains and that is even packed like a real lunchbox.
It will start selling from 10th of January for around 6000 Yen.
The whole concept is a real nice idea but better keep this away from kids or they will eat it.
Turning lunchboxes into a digestible art form is nothing uncommon in Japan especially to make it look more appealing for for kids.
Another new twist is the Character Bento. Recreating the look of famous Animation or TV stars on your daily meal.
Here are other examples:
