Evolved Nori Bento
A Sōma original, this upgraded version of the Nori Bento (Prototype) is a portable meal that utilizes a Lunch Jar. The first box contains three side dishes: Isobeage, fried cod, and dried tuna. Next is a bacon and onion miso soup. The true star of this portable bento is the Nori Bento portion, utilizing a Yukihira original craft, Nori Flavor Bomb drops, small drops that explode like roe, releasing a wave of nori flavor in every bite! Sōma used a simple Molecular Gastronomy technique to craft this one of a kind bento! Each successive portion stirs up memories of one's childhood days! Real Facts: A Nori Bento, often shortened to Noriben, is a simple bento dish consisting of mainly rice, nori sheets, soy sauce, and katsuobushi.
