otemachi.truck.bento

this is the first time you notice some street vendors or your japanese colleagues called it truck bento in chiyoda ward, the square diagonally opposite your client office building.  you saw it from the 8/f toilet and so you decided to check it out at lunch hour.
it's a sunny day anyway...

 there are plenty of terrace chairs and tables for people to lunch under the sun

 and typical tokyo scene where office lady (OL) and salary men queueing up to buy lunch
and there are enough choices to choose from - western to japanese to chinese and even a stall sellings coffee. 

and you and your colleague decided on this - オムハヤシ omuhayashi. it’s a thick demi-glace sauce which often contains red wine, tomato sauce, beef, onions and button mushrooms.
it's a great idea and you actually enjoyed lunching here today when the weather is fine - not too hot, not windy just fine.

the golden week is round the corner.  starting with 29th april as the showa-day and then follow by 3 consecutives public holiday next week.  a friend is visiting you today, you are excited that finally someone "dare" to come to visit you in tokyo.

Lianne, what's underneath is rice, potato, pulled beef, carrot, onion etc.. it's quite tasty with a sour after taste but it's just too heavy for a sunny day like this.

DH - this is japan so every thing is tidy and clean, not a sign of grease, trash anywhere :)
