The kind of fugu used for this bento is on a non-poisonous kind.
fugumeshi
This bento has been prepared for more than 40 years. The present supervisor is doing his job for more than 40 years, starting a busy day at three in the morning! Sometimes they prepare 300 lunchboxes durng busy seasons.
The ekiben contains fugu pieces of deep-fried kara-age, simmered as nimono, marinades with sakekasu and then fried and some soboro minced fish meat. The rice is cooked with a broth from boiling fugu.
The ekiben container has not changed much in design, only the material changed from ceramics to plastic.
This ekiben is sold only in the FUGU season, from October to April.
During the rest of the year, another ekiben with more different types of seafood is sold. Since fugu dose not keep well, in summer it is then served as a piece of sushi in the summer ekiben.
Shimonoseki was an important and busy harbor station between the main island and Kyushu and the globefish of the area was especially delicious.
On March 14, 2009 the last BLUE TRAIN "Hayabusa" and "Fuji", connecting the station directly with Tokyo and Oita/Kyushu or Kumamoto/Kyushu, were stopped because not many people use them any more these days. The kiosk at the platform was shut down after the last ekiben and tea was sold when the last train had left!

The Heike and Genji fought at Dan-no-ura near the present Kanmonkyo Bridge.
