Being a seafood (and fish) lover that I am, the Salmon
Teriyaki Bento is my favorite Bento set from Rai Rai Ken. It is the most
affordable way to indulge in Salmon – my hands down favorite fish – and Rai Rai
Ken has kept me coming back with this particular dish.
The highlight of this bento is, of course, the salmon
teriyaki. The reduction sauce is slightly sweet and salty and sprinkled with
sesame seeds for that irresistible aroma. I also like that they leave some of
the skin on to add more texture into the meat and also keep the meat from
falling off since it gets really tender when they serve it.
Also included in the set is the gohan (rice), two slices of
California maki, and sautéed vegetables that consist of bean sprouts and some
leafy greens. Now, who can resist this kind of meal? I sure can’t! The only
downside is that it is no longer available at Rai Rai Ken (insert frown here). The
last time I went there, I specifically asked the waitress for it since I could
not find it in the menu. I couldn’t believe my ears when she told me that they
have taken it off the menu.
Since I can’t get my salmon fix from Rai Rai Ken anymore, I
found myself looking for alternatives. Good thing, Bigby’s and Swiss Deli’s Salmon Steak are both off the roof! I would single-handedly campaign to get the
Salmon Teriyaki Bento back on Rai Rai Ken's menu, though.
