Komaba and Komaba II
Komaba Original Bowl 2024 Grand Prize Winner Decided!

In May 2024, we solicited original recipes from the Komaba Purchasing Department, Komaba Cafeteria, and on social media, and received 19 submissions! Thank you to everyone who applied!
Tasting session


At the original bento tasting event held on June 5th, five menus were introduced that had been discussed and selected by the purchasing department and cafeteria department. Based on the submitted ideas, written text, illustrations, and photos, actual bento-style dishes that could be produced in the cafeteria were unveiled for the first time!

This muscle-friendly dish is made with low-calorie, high-protein chicken breast meat, topped with broccoli and a boiled egg
Komajiro bowl

A bowl of rice inspired by a certain ramen, topped with plenty of garlic dumplings, cabbage, and pork slices

This is also a bowl of rice that is very filling and impressive, made with croquettes, mabo, and yakisoba

After hearing from the creators of the five finalist dishes about the thoughts they put into the bowls and from the cafeteria staff who created the recipes about their particular preferences, the tasting session began
The grand prize goes to "Muscular Muscle Bowl"!

After the tasting time, voting took place, and in a fierce battle where no one could have predicted the outcome, the "Mikimuki Muscle Bowl" created by PN: Kakapo was selected as the Grand Prix Original Bento for 2024!


Comments on the Muscle Bowl
The chicken was very well seasoned, and the flavor of the sesame oil spread throughout my mouth. It's very healthy, so I recommend it for people who don't do muscle training and for women
It's good, I'll buy it if it's available
・I'm glad that it contains not only meat but also broccoli. I personally like boiled eggs, so I'm happy
