Filled! Hirokuma bento

698yen

This hearty bento includes "Popben," which is filled with Poplar's home-cooked rice and is celebrating its 41st year on the market, as well as chicken nanban made with a sauce that has a subtle hint of lemon, Hirokuma's favorite, and a pizza-flavored hamburger steak inspired by the pizza that Hirokuma often eats on social media.

 

Hirokuma Hiroshima Greens Rice Ball

178yen

The filling of the rice ball is Hiroshima greens from Yamatoyo topped with Yamato Foods' "Lemosco". By adding the sour lemon flavor and the spicy heat of chili peppers to Hiroshima greens, you can enjoy a new sensation of Hiroshima greens that you have never experienced before. Please also take a look at the cute Hirokuma packaging.

 

Shiranui Panman

248yen

"Manmashranui" is a handmade jam made by Fumita Farm in Osakikamijima-cho, simmering only sugar and fruit in a small pot, resulting in a very juicy, rich and sweet jam without any additives. Heiando Umetsubo has created a bun with this "Manmashranui" wrapped in rice flour dough from Hiroshima Prefecture, and will sell it as a private brand product of the Poplar Group. Based on the concept of "a bun that is satisfying to eat like bread," it has been named "Shiranui Panman."

 

Delicious! Hiroshima's "Tabensai" presents a diverse selection of Hiroshima-style menus and products. Delicious Hiroshima! Please enjoy.
