WAGAMAMA’S BENTO BOX A HIT WITH AUSSIES!

Since it launched late last year, wagamama’s bento box has been going down a storm with Japanese cuisine-loving Aussies across the country. So much so, that the world’s favourite noodle bar has made it even bigger and better than before and made it available seven days a week so fans can now get their daily fix of this fantastic, fresh lunchtime staple whenever they need it!

The word ‘bento’ means lunch in Japanese and the bento box is a classic Japanese lunchtime staple that can be traced back as far as the fifth century when workers used them to carry their lunch when out hunting or farming. wagamama’s version is somewhat slicker than those first used and provides the perfect office lunch alternative to standard sandwiches and salads

With one main dish served with rice, mixed salad, a side dish, miso soup and now edamame too, the delicious mouth-watering main options include chicken katsu curry, yasai katsu curry (vegetarian), teriyaki chicken or teriyaki beef. For side dishes, choose from sweet potato kusabi, a variety of gyoza (dumplings), or chilli squid. With three vegetarian options to choose from, the bento box is now available at lunchtime from Monday through to Sunday* and still priced from just $14!

Perfect for busy office workers looking for a yummy lunchtime fix or friends and family on the hunt for a healthy and nutritious meal, wagamama is bringing the bento style to Japanese-lovers across Australia
