HottoMotto Kyodo

Rice topped with seasoned kelp and nori forms the base of the Nori Bento, with fried white fish and a substantial piece of chikuwa tempura—fish cake in a light batter—alongside. It’s a good choice when you want a familiar combination rather than a wide selection of side dishes. One customer noted that the fish was crisp on the outside and tender inside. They also enjoyed their meal with a salad; for those who would like vegetables with their fried food, a Plus Veg option is available.

For a more generous version of the Nori Bento, there’s the Special Nori Tartar Sauce Bento, topped with fried chicken, fried white fish, a minced meat cutlet, kinpira and pickled radish. The Fully-Loaded Nori Tartar Sauce Bento adds both a minced meat cutlet and chikuwa tempura.

When you’re in the mood for meat, try the Beef Yakiniku Bento, dressed with a rich sauce made with gochujang and sesame oil. Pour on the tangy, savoury sauce served separately to change the flavour as you eat. The Fried Chicken Bento, seasoned with soy sauce, garlic and ginger, comes with a choice of portions.

HottoMotto Kyodo offers takeaway. For lunch or a quick meal, you can stick with the classic Nori Bento or add more side dishes for a heartier option, depending on what you feel like that day.
