Ohara Bento (おはら弁当), Kagoshima Chuo Station

One of my favourite food finds in Kagoshima is Ohara Bento (おはら弁当). It is a tiny takeaway store selling bentos and sushi, located outside Kagoshima Chuo Station (walk towards the direction of the tram stop Kagoshimaekimae)

Prices are very affordable. One day for breakfast, we bought a kani temaki handroll, inari and kani sushi to share for a grand total of 484yen. As marvellous as convenient store onigiri can be, the sushi from Ohara tastes sooooo much better! 

Ohara Bento has been in the food manufacturing and catering business for 40 years. Besides running several takeaway outlets around Kagoshima, it also supplies bentos to schools, delis and departmental stores. You can also order online. 

We gobbled down our sushi so fast that we totally forgot to take pictures. But here's the menu from their website to salivate over instead.
