Origin bento's new year's ``Osechi 2-dan heavy'' tasting review, the color is good and it looks pretty good
``Is there such a thing as osechi from a bento shop?'' I researched and found out that my local ``Origin Bento'' was making osechi. Although reservations are accepted online, if you make a reservation at the store, you will receive a 1,000 yen Origin bento ticket.

As a result of looking around, I found that the 1st and 2nd tiers are ``refrigerated'', and the 3rd tier is ``frozen''. Since I was still going to the store to pick it up, I chose the 'Nidanju' version, which can be eaten immediately without thawing.

First, make a reservation. Arrived at the store.
Receive and fill out the Origin Osechi application form. The reservation period is from October 1st (Sunday) to December 17th (Sunday).
If you make a reservation or pick up your order at a store, you can get a 1,000 yen coupon, so it's a bit of a bargain.
Ichidanju looks like this
This time I will be ordering a two-stage heavy. 15,012 yen including tax.
A reversal occurred in that the 3-dan-ju was cheaper than the 2-dan-ju at 10,800 yen including tax.
So when I made the reservation, I specified the pick-up date and actually went to pick it up. It is wrapped in a furoshiki like this. Although it had a nice atmosphere, I was worried about taking it home as it was, so I should have brought a paper bag or something like that.
Now let's unpack it

It's a good feeling that it's hard to think ``What is this?'' because it has a nice touch.

the top tier.
and the next step
First of all, ``Kurikinton'' is a good feeling because it contains one whole piece.
“Vinegar octopus” has a mild taste as it is seasoned with fish sauce.
``Herring wrapped in kelp'' and ``Jellyfish in Chinese sauce'' were both good and bad.
Both ``Kohaku Kamaboko'' and ``Date Maki'' have a very satisfying taste and texture.
``Celebration Shrimp'' is black tiger shrimp, so it has a strong shrimp flavor and juiciness. At this point, I realized that everything felt very 'heavy'. Tender and juicier than it looks. You can feel that the food is made well so that it is delicious as is.
``Seasoned herring roe'' and ``cod roe'' have slits in the cod roe to soak up the flavor.
``Red and white salmon roe (Hokkaido salmon roe marinated in soy sauce)'' and ``Ikura (Japanese (Hokkaido))'' salmon roe are perfectly crushed and fresh.
'Pork braised pork' is not overly sweet, but has a slight sweetness. The meat is perfectly textured, so it's quite satisfying to eat.
``Black bean stew (using black beans from Hokkaido)'' is done properly.
``Temari mochi'', ``sweet braised young peach'', and ``simmered apricot in white wine''. The colors are very beautiful.
The one on top is the hard sardine “Tazukuri”
Below that are ``Japanese-style boiled clams'' and ``Duck wrapped in three-colored vegetables.''
The tofu of ``boiled rice (bamboo shoots, lotus root, donko, flower-shaped carrot, and Koya tofu)'' and ``frozen tofu'' comes out properly succulent.
Lastly, the 'Salmon Saikyo-yaki' and 'Hokkaido Scallop Teriyaki' are both very filling and satisfying.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied, and everything seems to be of a high standard. As you can see, the color is not bad, in fact it's quite good. I didn't have the usual ``The photo was beautiful, but the real thing is faded'' feeling, and I felt ``This was made very well.'' To be honest, I feel like ``It's an Origin bento...''. The perfection of the osechi itself is extremely high, so if you don't need 3 tiers, but want the satisfaction of 2 tiers, and the portion size is about 3 servings, it's quite affordable.
