Bento（弁当，bento）
Bento is the Japanese iteration of a single-portion take-out or home-packed meal, Outside Japan, it is common in other East and Southeast Asian culinary styles, as rice is a common staple food in the region.
A traditional bento may contain rice with fish or meat, often with pickled and cooked vegetables in a box. Containers range from mass-produced disposables to hand-crafted lacquerware.Often various dividers are used to separate ingredients or dishes, especially those with strong flavors, to avoid them affecting the taste of the rest of the meal. This also works to slow the growth of bacteria.

Izumi
lzumi's broth only uses fresh pork bones, chicken bones and other raw materials without adding any MSG or additives. It is boiled with high heat for more than 20 hours to enhance all the nutrients in the bones. The soup is not mixed with an extra drop of water,making the taste of the soup prominent, and aromatic

Most of the other ramen shops directly use the pre-made ramen noodles wholesale from suppliers,resulting in a similar texture/taste of the noodles. The noodles will taste bland and effortless when served with matching broth.Plenty of alkaline water also makes the noodles themselves unhealthy,in addition to losing the elasticity of the noodles
Izumi
lzumi spends a lot of money to import its own noodle making equipment from Japan,and uses a unique recipe to make its own noodles. While fully ensuring health,it can absorb the delicious bone broth as much as possible, highlighting the characteristics and taste of ramen noodles

Most of the other ramen shops directly use ingredients such as instant meat wholesale by branded chain suppliers. These ingredients lack taste and nutrition
