The video was shared by a Canadian CEO, Tina Lee. Tina showed off the different bento boxes that she got for her family’s journey on board a bullet train, which she purchased from a stand next to the ticket booth at Tokyo Station. She noted that they contained food freshly prepared on the morning of their trip. She bought three of the boxes shaped like the iconic train itself for her kids.
Interestingly, Tina chose Ekiben boxes, items that come with self-heating feature to keep the food warm and fresh.
In the video, she says, “I can already feel the heat coming out”. She was fascinated by how the food was warm without the need for a microwave. “I love this technology”, she said.
As the video proceeded, she also revealed what was inside her Katsu Chicken Bento Box. Despite the crispy chicken, it contains ketchup rice with egg and tomato sauce.

One user said, “Wow, wish we had some of that technology at home!” Another user added, "Oh wow, this is so cute, love it!"
