Grocery Store Bento Box

Look at this feast! I picked this up for lunch on Monday, and I'm really impressed with how tasty it was. For 499 yen (about $5.30) the following items were included (starting in the upper left, moving clockwise):
  • Potato salad, and a slice of rolled omelet
  • Two pieces of fried chicken with lemon
  • A salad of pickled vegetables (and maybe squid?)
  • Shredded crab on a bed of rice
  • Misc. pickled vegetables
  • Glazed chicken dumpling, and a breaded, fried shrimp
It's fast food prices, but quality and variety unlike anything I can get for lunch at home. The next step is stopping by a restaurant that puts these together for takeout, rather than just hitting the nearby grocery store.
