Shokado Bento originated in the Edo period (late 17th century) and is named after a tea house called Shokado in Kyoto. Shokado Bento features a wide range of seasonal ingredients, allowing for diverse flavors and textures. More than just a meal, Shokado Bento reflects Japanese culture and tradition. It is often served during ceremonies and celebrations, adding a sense of occasion.
