Fukagawa Meshi(Rice) in Shinkansen

When I went to Osaka on business, I took Shinkan-sen and bought lunch box, named "Fukagawa Meshi".

"Fukagawa" is the place name and "Meshi" means "rice" in English, the same as "Gohan" in Japanese.

It is said that much marine products were landed at Fukagawa in Edo period and the name of lunch box has roots in that.

What on the rice are boiled-conger, goby, asari clam and seasoning is a bit of sweet.(But it is different from "sweet" of ”sweets" such as chocolate, manjyu(in Japanese).
