They’re back! The bento box is a Japanese tradition built around one idea: a beautiful, complete meal that travels with you. The Sushi Box is a chirashi-style visual mosaic — colorful, flavorful, and ready to go. Made every day and waiting for you in the reach-in cooler at Bentoville Food Theater.

Taiyaki are back at the Downtown Bentonville, Inc. Farmer’s Market tomorrow at 8am! There’s not a lot better than a sweet little waffle shaped like fish, hot & crispy off the grill.

We’ll see you tomorrow on our patio. 🧇

Meet Chef Keisuke Yanagimoto — IPPUDO’s product development specialist with over 20 years spent perfecting ramen from the inside out.

He flew in from Fukuoka just to be here. For a few months, he’s teaching our team, bringing IPPUDO to Bentoville, and sharing the bowl he’s spent two decades refining. He’s also, for the record, one of the funniest people in this kitchen.

Come find him on the Chef Stage. Ask him anything — about the broth, the craft, the 20 years it took to get here. And when his bowl of ramen lands in front of you, don’t be shy – slurping is encouraged!

The first show at Center Stage was always going to be temaki.

Fatty tuna, king salmon, cucumber shiso. Chef Billy Kong’s Early Summer Temaki is built around the things that make handrolls worth eating: pristine fish, crisp nori, and perfect rice.

Dinner only, for now. 👀 Get your tickets at the link in our bio.

A kagami biraki – the ceremonial breaking of a sake barrel – is how Japan marks a new beginning. Felt like the only way to open our doors. Bentoville Food Theater is here, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

While blasting our own jingle, we served up taiyaki hot off the press at the Farmer’s Market this morning. The perfect way to end our first week being open. 💛
