I don’t care what you say, the best part of traveling by Shinkansen isn’t the train, it is all the Ekiben choices.

The first time I tried oden was on the shinkansen to Hokkaido. And I think that was actually a bento sold on the train, which from what I’m reading now in trying to look it up, is no longer a thing. It was even better than what I picked up at the station!

Getting the shumai setto was a Shinkansen ritual for me. Not only because the shoyu came in an itty-bitty ceramic container that I now have a collection of.

My favorite is the self-heating bento boxes. You pull a string and poof, you have sukiyaki on a bed of warm rice.

I like how stations often have local delicacy ekibens that you cannot get anywhere else. A few larger cities sell some of the local, but I think the smaller towns keep the better stuff for themselves.
