"text": "At the time there were dining cars, and bento boxes were sold on board for those not using the restaurant. Today, sadly, no bento boxes (the meal in a box with chopsticks and a large selection of tasty morsels with enough rice to ensure a full stomach) are available on the trains. […] Until last year, the famous bento boxes were dispensed from trolleys by friendly waitresses on the trains. But they now have to be bought at the station kiosks.",
