Overview:

Ekiben (a word that combines the Japanese words for station and boxed meal) are sold at stations and on trains throughout Japan.

Concerned for their business, Ekiben manufacturers began looking for new ways to survive. See the ideas they've come up with, from frozen Ekiben and online sales, to expanding business overseas.
