I had this eel and cutlet bento a few days ago in honor of the current eel scandal (incorrectly labeled eels). There wasnt a whole lotta eel in this to really count as a real eel bento, but the eel that was there was really soft and yummy. eel is good in summer. under the eel was brown rice, which is fairly uncommon in conbini bento. The cutlet side was fairly boring cutlet on white rice. Also they didnt use enough egg with the cutlet. Cost about 580yen. I had this with a seaweed infused meat-salad with seasame dressing. really good, crisp and flavorful. And a big half egg to make up for the missing egg on the cutlet.Cost about 280yen.
