[Kitchen Tsumugi]
Address: 23-1 Seto, Seto- Seto , Seto -ku, Okayama City , Okayama Prefecture
●It's a bento, but I highly recommend it for those who want a hearty meal at a great price. The hamburger made with Japanese beef is thick yet soft, and goes well with the rice served in a separate pack. Also, the salt-fried noodles hidden under the meat are not to be underestimated in both taste and volume. (40s/Male/Office worker)
[Sosai Style Daberu.]
Address: 582-5 Nishiachicho , Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture Prefecture
● Cheap and delicious. They source local fish and prepare it properly in-house. They offer a consistent menu of dishes such as fried swordfish, Bisei pork hamburger steak, and salted fried chicken. You can discuss the contents of your bento box based on your budget. If they have fish bones such as sea bream, they will give them to you for free. The staff are all kind, and the owner is a real professional who trained at a Japanese restaurant. A friendly and polite restaurant that I highly recommend. Located along the train tracks east of Nishiachi Station. Be careful when entering the parking lot. You can see the menu in detail on their website or Instagram. (Woman in her 60s, part-time worker)
●I go to this bento shop once a week because of its wide selection, including luxurious bento boxes with fish and meat as the main dish, a Toyotomi of rice balls, and rice bowls like hamburger steak rice bowls and braised pork rice bowls. They also have side dishes like fried chicken, shumai, and simmered eggplant, and everything is delicious. (30s/female/office worker)
[KENT]
Address: 3672 Okayama Prefecture Kurashiki City, Ogawa Town
●The white sauce on the rice gratin here is quite authentic, and I think it's the best in Japan, rivaling even the ones served in hotels in Tokyo. You can order bento boxes for 1,500 yen, 2,000 yen, and 2,500 yen, so it's fun to try them all and compare them. You can leave the contents up to the chef. (30s/Male/Office worker)
●It has a mild flavor. It has something like simmered vegetables in it, making it easy to eat. The hamburger steak is absolutely delicious. (Female, 50s, office worker)
[Natsuki]
Address: 2-1 Obitaka, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture

[Harapeko Chikin]
Address: 78-10 Shirakuracho , Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture Prefecture

[Unryu]

This bento uses high-quality meat from Okayama Prefecture. (30s/Male/Self-employed)
[Karin]
Address: 8-4-3 Uno, Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture
This is a takeout specialty store. Everything is cheap and delicious. Reservations are required, but hors d'oeuvres are also available. (40s/Female/Freelance/Part-time worker)
[Kitchen Taro]
Address: 2-6-1 Ekimae , Soja City, Okayama Prefecture
●They have a daily bento box, which comes with miso soup and a different side dish each day, which is delicious. The hamburger bento box has a large hamburger steak and is very tasty. (30s/female/office worker)
[Kanata]
Address: 7-2 Jigō Katayama , Soja City, Okayama Prefecture Prefecture
●This bento can only be purchased by reservation. The menu is made using fresh ingredients procured by the owner that day, and no frozen foods are used. In addition, only domestic ingredients (especially local produce from the prefecture) are used. The side dishes always include meat and fish, and more than 10 types of vegetables are used. (Woman in her 50s, part-time worker)
[Atchan's Big Tree]
Address: 97-1 Sange , Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture
●The owner is down-to-earth. He serves Tsuyama specialties at reasonable prices, such as sozuri donburi and sozuri croquettes. Of course, he also serves horumon udon. When ordering a bento box, you can also order Mimasaka Hoji Bancha tea in the nostalgic container that was once sold alongside the nostalgic ekiben (station bento). Back when there were no canned or bottled tea vending machines like there are today, this place must have been a great help. But you may not have seen it unless you're over a certain age. (Female, 50s, office worker)
[Shunsai Kitchen Chao]
Address: 567-1 Shimoashibe , Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture
●The interior of the shop is unusual, perhaps because it was renovated from an old house, but it has a strangely calming atmosphere. They offer bento boxes for takeaway, and there are so many different types available that it's hard to decide which one to get. I think it's an interesting format that you can eat the bento boxes for lunch inside the shop. However, for lunch, you don't just get a bento box, but it also comes with multiple plates of side dishes and soup, so it's very satisfying. The homemade tofu is particularly delicious. I don't think there is any other shop that makes bento so much fun. I highly recommend it. Also, as an aside, they even have sandwiches in the display case, which are also products that you'll want to take home. (Woman, 50s, office worker)
[Super Hirusen]
Address: 295-9 Nakafukuda, Hiruzen, Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture
The side dishes are delicious and filling, and they add rice when you pay. (Male, office worker, 50s)
