Their Shokado boxed lunch features seasonal delicacies arranged in a lacquered wooden box.
The box is divided into four compartments, which looks like the Japanese character for rice paddy field, "田." This unique presentation was inspired by Shokado Shojo (1584-1639), a monk at Iwashimizu Hachimangu, who used a farmers’ seed box to hold small items. Yuki Teiichi, the founder of Kitcho, adapted this idea for the bento (Japanese-style boxed meal).
You can experience the amazing food culture and tradition at the renowned Japanese restaurant with a great location associated with Shokado Shojo. Take your time to enjoy the exquisite Japanese culinary delights, while immersing yourself in the serene and peaceful surroundings.
