Back in 2010, I took a "little" side trip to Niigata on the Sea of Japan side of Honshu by Shinkansen.

Before boarding the train, I bought a bento box lunch at Tokyo Station. Now, the East Japan Railway company has a new food delivery service for travelers to Niigata and Yamagata Prefectures.

According to News On Japan:

A new food delivery service will be available to passengers traveling by Shinkansen bullet train to the Sea of Japan coast areas of Niigata and Yamagata prefectures. 

East Japan Railway Company on Monday introduced the new menu that will give Shinkansen passengers a taste of farm products from Niigata Prefecture.
