“Harako Meshi,” a specialty of Miyagi Prefecture, is a dish that combines the delicious flavors of salmon and salmon roe. This time, I had the pleasure of enjoying the bento version of this local delicacy while traveling on the Shinkansen from Sendai Station.
Visually Stunning and Appetizing
Opening the package reveals a vibrant presentation of salmon and ikura (salmon roe) generously laid over rice. Just the sight of it raised my expectations, and as I opened the lid, the aroma of fresh salmon filled the air, making my Shinkansen journey feel extra special.
A Burst of Flavor
Tasting it was an unforgettable experience. The tender salmon paired perfectly with the rice, and the moment the ikura burst in my mouth, releasing their juicy essence, was pure bliss. One unique feature of this bento is the self-topping salmon roe, allowing ikura lovers to customize their meal. This thoughtful touch adds to the enjoyment.
