📍Salt Lake City｜Affordable & Delicious Lunch Bento 🍱

Lots of new friends have been moving to our town lately, so today I’m sharing a local hidden spot that only insiders know about! Welcome to the neighborhood 🏡✨ This unassuming little Japanese supermarket is a true Hidden Gem 💎. Though small, it has everything from Japanese tableware and seasonings to snacks and drinks 🍶🍘. But their biggest highlight is the lunch bento 🍱! When I worked nearby, I came here at least three times a week—no breaks 😄. The portion is just right for girls with a good appetite. My favorite is their salmon bento—it comes with burdock root salad, sweet peas, and mini shumai 🍣🥗. Each box is packed with variety, perfect for someone like me who loves trying a bit of everything. They also have classic options like beef donburi 🍛, curry tonkatsu rice, teriyaki chicken rice, and more—all homely and delicious. I haven’t tried their sashimi rice or poke bowl 🍣 yet, but they look great! And they have my beloved onigiri (rice balls)—makes me miss FamilyMart 🏪💔. You can also order ramen in-store. They used to have dine-in, but it’s gone now. However, I don’t recommend their ramen—it tastes like instant noodles 🍜😅. ​​Japanese Sage​​ 📍1515 S Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84115 #SaltLakeCity #FoodShare #MyFoodDiary #DailyEats #SupermarketFinds #HiddenGems #JapaneseMarket #BentoBox #WorkdayLunch #100RestaurantsChallenge #WeekendPlans #LocalEats
