The Chinses shumai shop Kiyooken 崎陽軒 started in 1859. It is also sold at kiosks arount the city.
On the wrapper it says :

"Although it falls into the ekiben category, shumai is sold at any KIOSK.
Therefore if you are hungry late at night, you can buy one and eat it."


They were one of the first to start a MEGA size ekiben, with 1.5 times the food.

The store Kiyooken 崎陽軒 started to sell it as EKIBEN in 1953. One year later, they already sold more than 4000 per day! In 2008, they sold about 1000000 boxes per day.
Not only shumai, but also maguro steak, bamboo sprouts and other ingredients are packed together with the rice.
