You know what. I’m glad it is a thing. Because this is one of those hidden cultural nuggets that unless you lived there on the regular you would never know

I am devastated to learn of this now, and not 6 years ago when I was in Japan. Great snacking on those trains in general, tho. Highly recommend.

Pro tip from a seasoned domestic train traveller from Finland: don’t you go nowhere without a camping spoon/fork combo. Got a random military surplus one and travel has been smooth ever since. (Also have a table knife, a wooden mug, and a thermos mug. Oh and a Swiss army knife, but that’s just regular every day stuff.)
Pro tip: just wait for a bit.
Here’s how I do it. Tear the container, start biting.
Wait, this sounds great. I’d love to get one with some milk and pour tiny amounts on top to scrape off.
