Isobushi Bento 磯節弁当 "Seashore Lunchbox"

This is really a rather beautiful bento, trying to paint a picture of the coastline of Oarai.

The rice is cooked in broth to make it taste like the sea. It is also cooked with seaweed to give extra taste of the seashore. The rice is placed in a special box made of flexible bamboo sudare. The food is placed on the rice to represent the coastline, with rocks and seaweed. One sazae shell and one piece of octopus is also placed on the rice.
All the vegetables and ingredients come from the local market.

The bento is made by a couple who also make other types of bento.

"Isobushi" is the name of an old folksong of Oarai Town.
