Hotto Motto

Start with a nori bento, or choose a more generous meal with extra fried sides. Hotto Motto’s nori bento pairs rice topped with seasoned kelp and nori with fried white fish and chikuwa tempura. For more to enjoy, there is the Special Nori Tartar Sauce Bento, with items such as fried chicken, fried white fish and a minced meat cutlet, or the Fully-Loaded Nori Tartar Sauce Bento, which includes a minced meat cutlet, fried chicken, chikuwa tempura and fried white fish.

For a chicken dish, the Chicken Nanban Bento comes with tartar sauce and a separate sweet-and-sour sauce. One visitor to a park in Nakano Ward had picked up chicken nanban for lunch. The Fried Chicken Bento is available with 4 or 6 pieces; the chicken is seasoned with soy sauce, garlic and ginger, and served with rice. If you would like meat and vegetables together, the Stir-Fried Meat & Vegetables Bento combines cabbage, onion, bean sprouts, carrot, edamame and pork belly. The Beef Yakiniku Bento comes with a sauce enriched with gochujang and sesame oil, as well as a separate tangy, savoury sauce that adds a fresher note.

Takeaway and delivery are both available. The restaurant is listed as open daily from 9:00 to 23:00, making it an option when you are looking for a later dinner.
