Under such circumstances, we manufacture and sell station lunches and lunch boxes in Kobe City, Hyogo PrefectureAwaji shopHas released a fully original lunch box named after the "Eva Shinkansen" in limited quantity.

◆ Eva Ekiden "500 TYPE EVA Original Lunchbox" is
Collaboration vehicle commemorating the 20th anniversary of Sanyo Shinkansen's opening business and the TV broadcasting start of the animation "Evangelion"500 TYPE EVA"Based on the bento boxed"Evangelion Project BentoIt is Eva Station Evolution. 500 TYPE Design based on the image of Eva's first machine is given to the instrument which reproduced the flowing body line of the 500 series Shinkansen which became the basis of EVA. Since the container is made of pottery, it is a place where fans can not keep being kept and added to the collection even after they finish eating. The price is 1500 yen including tax.


The contents of the station lunch are served as an important theme in the Eva work, with the cutlasses of salmon and grilled salmon showing the core of the apostleParent-child relationshipIt is the part which makes it "grinning salmon" expressing "a salmon salmon" for the person who knows the original work.


I visited a factory that is producing Eva Station Evolution
I visited a factory that makes Eva station valves like this. I visited the head office factory of Awaji shop in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture.


By the way, because I was looking for a short-term part-time job for winter vacation, perhaps I might be able to find opportunities to mass-produce Eva stationary valves with my own hands.


At the entrance of the head office, a number of lunch boxes handled by Awaji shop are slurry.


It is said that Awajiya originally worked on a stationary valve with a heating function that blew away the world with "warming lunch box". When pulling the side straps, water and lime at the bottom of the container react to generate heat and warm the entire box lunch.


Unusual in the world, cut meat cut model.


It is irresistable for a tiger fan, and a box lunch in which the mark of the Hanshin Tigers was designed.


Character of IC card "ICOCA" of JR West Japan,Iko-chan of platypusAlso the box lunch that shaped the shape. It seems that the item sold, it was a tremendously selling item. On the right are lunch boxes imitating national treasure · Himeji castle. Both are made of pottery, Iko is opening from the neck, Himeji Castle opens the castle tower to a cuckoo and eats lunches.


Such Awajiya's best-selling items are packed with Octopus and Anago and Seasonal vegetables in a Takotsuka style container "Pick-up riceIt is said that it is 1000 yen including tax.


Hiratariwo Rice is said to have appeared also in the making of the comic "GTO Paradise Lost".

From here we go into the factory. Before entering the factory, change to dedicated costumes so as not to bring garbage and dust into the factory. The picture is in a state wearing boots, but of course when you enter the factory will change to shoes.


Washing cleanly with a hand washing table where water and soap, disinfectant solution in turn come out.


Finally, we will skip over the body with powerful wind.


Sneak into the factory. It looks like a box lunch is being made at the back line.


◆ Until Eva station valve can be made
Let's see in turn how the Eva lunch valve is made. A landscape that is picking up a call like raising this hand is "sanitary check okay?" "Okay?", And the scenery checking for dust and the like before manufacturing.


An empty container is aligned with the slurry at the beginning of the production line, waiting for the contents to be packed. Some are turned inside out, but this is a contrivance to prevent contamination of foreign matter at the time of storage.


Line started flowing. First pick up rice cooked, roll it in a shape like a rod and put it in a container. At this time, it is difficult to arrange it fun without pressing too hard. By the way, what is placed next to the lunch box is like a specification showing the contents of the box lunch, and it is said that it is being used for checking contents every time the lunch to be produced switches.


Next, it is not the core ..., but how much you put in. The line is flowing from right to left when looking at the picture, and the bullet train advances in the back state.


Next, I am waiting for a fillet of grilled salmon.


It will be packed one after another by hand. In addition, considering ease of eating this fillet, pieces of leather are removed one by one manually in advance.


I also put a core on the tip. Initially I talked that "The number of Ikra (= core) together with the number of apostles that will come out in the work!" Because there was a difficulty in the manufacturing process, "Who is not counting on" I am forced to give up. However, since people who have a lot of insects are appreciated, there should be no problem even in the present situation.


Finally, the coloring of the coloring is completed and the arrangement is complete.


On the foodstuffs, a sheet kneaded with wasabi ingredients can be placed to suppress bacterial growth.


At the rear end of the line, the lid which it covers last is slurry.


Closing the lid and the lid completes the Eva station valve.


Then pack it in a box ......


Through a metal detector that inspects for contamination of foreign matter ......


We are ready to ship.


Looking at the making line of the making side looks like this. Stuffed rice ......


Core is introduced.


Baked salmon fillets


Place laver ......


It is completed by closing the seat and lid.



In this way Eva lunch valves are manufactured one after another and are sold at a limit of 50 pieces a day.


In addition, various other lunch boxes were manufactured inside the factory. This is a collaboration between Rilakkuma and the inspection vehicle "Doctor Yellow" in the Shinkansen sectionRilakkuma loose lunch"(1200 yen including tax)


Indeed it is also an orthodox commodity which can be said to be "station lunch". This is an image from Arima through Rokko Mountain to Seto Inui, seasonal limited "all the ingredients from the container to the right from the left to the right"Mt. Rokko Momijji boxed lunch"(880 yen including tax). It seems that it is a dioramaic lunch box that enjoys the sea and the mountains of the mountains at once and feels the nature of Rokko.


◆ I ate Eva station lunch valve and tasted parent-child relationship
I tried to eat the lunch delivered in this way one by one. Containers are shaped like deformed well for the flowing form of the 500 Series Shinkansen.


Also reproduced the letters of "500 TYPE EVA" put on the side.


The size of the container is about this compared to iPhone 6.


Having it in hand, I feel a heavy weight as it is made of pottery.


I opened it up and tried it.


Salt and seasoned salad with soy sauce combined with salt and sweetness has become a real flavor, you will find that it is never an exclusively lunch box. I feel comfortable with the texture of spinach which starts with bubble wrap.


Baked salmon has a salty taste that can taste the original flavor of salmon. It may be ants in some cases to interpret that "It is also the person of Gendou" because it is chewy as "gut" rather than "hollow and crooked" . Because the skin has been removed, people who are not good at salmon skin can eat as they are.


There are only special containers that reproduce the shape of the 500 Series Shinkansen, but it is scratchy for the ball to be somewhat difficult to eat, but it is also convinced that you think that it is reproducing a narrow car body unique to 500 series It seems possible(?). As we can store and use the container after we finish eating it, it became a stationary valve that it seems like a fan would want me unintentionally.


The Evangelion Project lunch box is on sale for 50 days a day at Awajiya store at Shin Kobe station, Nishimaishi station. Many people mourn that they can not easily get it because of the distant place, but it seems that some expansion is expected in the future, so people in the original fan seems to be looking forward to it.
