Day 1: To Naoetsu Station to see the ultimate EKIBEN
Japanese love EKIBEN, lunch boxes made especially for eating in trains. While most EKIBEN are sold at kiosks inside the stations, at Naoetsu Station in Niigata Prefecture, the old style of standing on the platform and selling EKIBEN still takes place. It is called TACHIURI, and is considered the ultimate EKIBEN. Many Japanese tourists visit Naoetsu Station just to buy EKIBEN from the TACHIURI.
The daredevil witnesses the TACHIURI man on the platform selling lunchboxes to passengers as they board, and she also finds out that his EKIBEN are made in his kitchen located right in front of the station. We take a close look at what goes on behind the scenes.
Day 2: Behind the scenes of the ultimate EKIBEN
The daredevil's first mission is to get EKIBEN ingredients from the local market. At 6 in the morning, she goes to the market alone and completes her first mission. When she returns from the market, they start cooking in the kitchen. During the busy season, chefs sometimes make as many as 1,000 EKIBEN a day. We'll get a close look at the skills of the chefs as well. The hands of those who put the EKIBEN ingredients into the boxes move at lightning-fast speed! Softpomz does her best to keep up.
Day 3: TACHIURI - Softpomz sells EKIBEN on the platform
The train stops for 10 minutes at the station and that's your only chance for TACHIURI. Softpomz carries a heavy box to the platform to make sure everything's ready when the train arrives. She has been given the task of selling 10 EKIBEN. She does her best to get the attention of the passengers with her loud yet charming voice and big smile as she runs along the platform. Will she be able to carry out her difficult mission?
