It’s on the cheaper side for a Lawson bento, but it tastes surprisingly good. At 520 g, it feels quite hefty in your hand.

The main dish is, of course, chicken with fermented black beans. It tastes just like the filling in one of Lawson’s black bean chicken jumbo onigiri. The supply-chain masters are working their magic again. Sweet-and-savory chicken pieces mingle with intensely aromatic fermented black beans. If the black bean flavor gets a little too rich, try some of the green peppers and mushrooms mixed in.

The rice is neither great nor bad—just ordinary, slightly sticky rice.
