this is a pretty salty bento, so i thought i’d throw some mandarin orange slices in to break it up a little bit. the tamagoyaki was made with dashi broth and a little mirin, sake, and soy sauce. It’s not sweet at all, and compliments the saltier items well. also, mixed rice is a good way to add some variety and nutrition to a bento.
