Vegan box lunches in Entetsu Department Store

On the basement of the main building of Entetsu Department Store, there is a delicatessen Kosei Iro Iro (個性色色). I wrote about it before to introduce their vegan sushi and rice balls, but if you want to have a more substantial meal, there are other options: two kinds of vegan box lunches from a vegetarian restaurant Bejita located a bit distant from the downtown. One of them is a box lunch with a veggie patty,

and the other is a colorful vegetable box lunch that changes from day to day. I bought this one home today.

According to the list, today’s lunch included a sausage of quinoa, cabbage stir-fried with curry powder, caponata, marinade of cauliflower, and fluffy boiled potatoes, which looked like this.

Below them, there was brown rice to which I added some ground sesame. I thought the amount of rice may be sufficient for average women but not for men.

As a whole, the tastes of vegetables were sweet and mild. The cabbage stir-fried with curry was spicy, but not as spicy as dishes in Indian restaurants. It had some sweetness because of cabbage. The boiled potatoes had some dried sea lettuce sprinkled on them, which I thought interesting. I didn’t know exactly what caponata was, but what I ate was vegetables cooked with tomato and was also sweet. The sausage was made of quinoa. I ate quinoa for the first time, and it was interesting to know how elastic it is.

Usually, I prefer eating hot fresh food like newly baked naan bread, but I think this box lunch is well made and very good if you want to have various vegetables at a time. It seemed to be selling very well because there was only one box left after I bought one around 12:30. Maybe it is popular among health-conscious people working in downtown.
