1. Akashi is famous for its octopus, but I think it’s because the octopus catch is so low that it’s hard to make a lot of bento.

2. Wow. How much did u pay?

3. Apparently you can get a lid for that bowl too and they fetch a good price.

4. I don’t think I’ve ever had a good eki ben 😔

5. I picked that one up too when I was there and the pot is now my pen jar.

6. I have two of those pots now as a chopstick jar

7. I really hope it’s called an ”Octa-don”.

8. Reminder that octopuses are intelligent creatures that can feel pain.

9. Great pic.

10. Is the octopus bouncy texture? Or tender and soft? Looks delicious.

11. Are bento boxes available for purchase when using the Shinkansen?

12. Did you get that sake at Hasegawa?
