These bento were called <em>ekiben<\/em>, with \u201c<em>eki<\/em>\u201d standing for station and \u201c<em>ben<\/em>\u201d for <em>bento<\/em>. These types of <em>bento<\/em> made prepackaged, wholesome food available for workers and travelers outside of their homes, and the trend spread to vendors and shops throughout cities. Prepackaged <em>bento<\/em> became more and more popular, especially after World War II, and began to be sold in supermarkets. In the 1980\u2019s, convenience stores started to sell <em>bento<\/em> boxes, and with soaring demand, dedicated <em>bento<\/em> shops opened, offering some of the most tasty and innovative combinations. These shops are sometimes open 24 hours a day!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2679\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2679\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ekiben.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An <em>ekiben<\/em> with a vast array of <em>bento<\/em> combinations in Shin-Osaka Station (photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/91049143@N00\">bryan&#8230;<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So where should you go for <em>bento<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><em>Konbini<\/em>, or convenience stores, are ubiquitous and serve various combinations of premade <em>bento<\/em>, including hamburger patties, steak, <em>karaage<\/em> fried chicken and salmon, at an inexpensive price.
