Behold: the Ultimate Wagyu Beef Bento!
SoraNews24
When most people think of Japan’s bento, the first things that come to mind are the affordably priced boxed lunches sold at convenience stores, or a bento painstakingly made by hand. But bento can go high-end too, with gourmet ingredients and prices far beyond the ¥600 (US$5.35) that inexpensive bought bento usually cost.

For example, take a look at this meaty offering, filled with cuts of premium wagyu beef from Tottori Prefecture, which was recently rated as the highest-quality beef in all of Japan by the Wagyu Registry Association.

No room for vegetable side dishes here. Every compartment of the bento box is stuffed with beef, sitting atop a ration of Tottori-grown Kinu Musume rice.

Looks mouth-watering, doesn’t it? And it should, because this ultimate meat-lover’s bento will set you back ¥292,929 (US$2,615). That’s inclusive of ¥21,698 (US$194) worth of sales tax, meaning that the levy on this bento is enough for a whole month of ordinarily priced bento lunches.
