This is a bento made in collaboration between player Akiyama and comedy duo Timon D, whom he faced in the Ehime tournament final back in high school.
Player Kinami and player Aoyagi, who are also expected to have a great season this year, are introducing new menu items.
Manager Yano’s deluxe bento was hugely popular last year!
There’s also another new menu item, “Manager Yano’s Special Meat-Packed Bibimbap Bowl”〜😋
In the 2020 bento popularity ranking, the No. 1 item was player Chikamoto’s “From Awaji Island! Chikamoto’s Octopus Rice Makunouchi Bento”〜!
