We sell "Chicken Bento" made from "Akitakomachi" produced in Akita Prefecture, "Kiritanpo" coated with Miso, and "Akita Bento" which uses plenty of Akita ingredients such as tartar sauce using Iburigakko. There are 6 types.



The "Akita Bento" is accompanied by a French translation of a draft written by a high school student in Odate City, and a key chain created by elementary school students with the motif of Akita Prefecture's scenery and festivals will be given to those who purchase it. Can be done.



On this day, customers visited one after another at the same time as the opening, and listened to the explanation of the clerk and bought their favorite bento.



The man who bought it said, "I bought it because I thought it was new. It looked appetizing and I was hungry. It sells well." Another male customer said, "It's very beautiful and sophisticated. The Japanese spirit is valid in France, so I'm sure it will work. "
