I Tried Self-Heating Train Station Bento (Ekiben)

Ekiben, or station bento boxes, are a beloved part of Japanese food culture, offering travelers a delicious and convenient meal option while on the move. Among the various types of ekiben, self-heating ekiben have gained popularity for their innovative and practical design.
What is a Self-Heating Ekiben?
A self-heating ekiben is a bento box that comes with a built-in heating mechanism, allowing you to enjoy a piping hot meal without the need for a microwave or any external heating source. This ingenious concept is perfect for those who want to savor a freshly cooked meal while traveling by train, plane, or even during outdoor activities.
How Does It Work?
The self-heating mechanism in these ekiben is typically powered by a small chemical reaction that generates heat. Inside the bento box, there is a separate compartment containing a heating pad or pouch filled with a safe, non-toxic chemical mixture. When the heating pad is activated, usually by removing a plastic tab or pulling a string, the chemical reaction begins, and the heat is transferred to the food compartment, warming up the contents.
