Introduced here is the “Sanshoku Inari” from Toyohashi Station. Inarizushi is the specialty of Toyohashi Station, and Tsuboya, which sells inarizushi at the station, offers a wide variety of inarizushi. The “Sanshoku Inari” is a set of three types of inarizushi: the standard inarizushi, wasabi inari, and chirimen sansho inari.
The company Tsuboya began selling Inarizushi in the station in 1889, the year after Toyohashi Station opened for business, and it can be said that Inarizushi has been a part of the history of Toyohashi Station since the end of the Meiji period. The basic design of the wrapping paper has not changed for more than half a century.
It contains seven pieces of inarizushi, with no special accompaniments. The sweetly seasoned fried bean curd, wrapped in a bale of vinegared rice, is familiar to people in eastern Japan. The taste of the fried bean curd is a little strong and the vinegar in the sushi rice is a little weak. There are three pieces of this regular inarizushi.
It has a very simple composition, although there are two pieces with chirimen sansho, two pieces with wasabi greens, and red ginger attached in a small bag. The chirimen sansho has a strong sansho flavor. The Wasabi-na-iri-iri has a less stimulating taste, but you can enjoy the difference in taste between the two.
It is just the right size to be eaten in two bites, although a man could probably eat it in one bite. This time, for some reason, I had to travel only one section of the Shinkansen from Toyohashi to Hamamatsu, which is very rare for me, but the fact that I did not feel rushed during the 12-minute ride is a result of this style of easy-to-eat bento.
The “Sanshoku Inari” was a highly satisfying bento that made for a quick and easy meal with a variety of flavors to enjoy.
