Overview

Suzuki Kinue knows a thing or two about making delicious bento boxed meals. She's been operating a tiny store in Tokyo's trendy Jiyugaoka neighborhood for more than a quarter of a century. It's only open twice a month these days, but that doesn't stop the locals from coming for her famous home-style cooking, perfected over generations and lovingly preserved in eight handwritten recipe books. Ask a customer to describe her steamed rice, and we bet you'll be joining the queue too.
