Ikegami Bento is famous for its rice, and a woman made rice balls out of Ikegami rice and took them to the train station to sell them. When a businessman saw this, he had the bright idea of putting the granny's rice balls in a wooden box, which was customary in Japan, and it became a kind of dry food on the train at that time, and gradually evolved into the Ikegami Bento.

People who really know how to eat a bento are actually very particular about the quality of the rice in the bento. The Ikegami Bento, of course, no longer uses the Ikegami rice of the time, but instead uses high-quality Tohoku rice. Making rice may seem simple, but it's actually quite elaborate. See, these big rice cookers are specially designed for making rice. This kind of rice cooker can only be found in professional bento stores. This big guy, uses gas. According to the Taiwanese, only rice made over an open fire is flavorful enough, Q and chewy enough.

The use of wooden boxes to serve meals is the hallmark of Ikegami Bento, and they use poplar wood lunch boxes imported from Indonesia. The wooden boxes are breathable and absorb some of the oil and moisture from the rice, keeping it flexible. Compared with styrofoam lunch boxes, wooden boxes have more obvious environmental features.

Ikegami also has several varieties of fried pork chop rice, lo mein rice, and chicken thigh rice, all of which are meat and vegetarian and nutritionally balanced. Takeaway delivery is also an important part of Ikegami's service, as long as you are within 2 kilometers of the store you can be served by their delivery service. However, it's a good idea to call ahead and make a reservation to take advantage of the delivery service.
