New Party President Shigeru Ishiba Chooses His ‘Two Winning Bento Boxes’ Over Koizumi Camp’s Jojoen

The same was true for Sanae Takaichi, 63, the Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Security, who remained in the runoff election, who was running a “money-saving presidential campaign.

Another laver bento?”

In Room 918 of the First House of Representatives, where Takaichi’s campaign team is located, the luxury bento boxes of the Koizumi campaign team were a dream come true.

The senators’ lunches were a little more luxurious, with a few extra fried dishes, but I think they were the richest among the nine camps,” said a secretary who participated in the phone call.

The lunchboxes were said to be inexpensive and filling, with such items as fried chicken and grilled mackerel sushi. Mr. Tomotsugu Takaichi, Mr. Takaichi’s younger brother and secretary to the minister, expressed his painful feelings, saying, “We had to make do with the meager funds we had,” he continued.

He continued, “I am sorry for the poor food compared to the other camps, but everyone did their best. There were times when I couldn’t eat my lunch box because my nominators and secretaries from other offices ate it first, and if there was any left over, the staff of the Takaichi office could eat it, too.

Mr. Ishiba’s “Bento Servant” Reveals His Thoughts

Will the LDP be reborn as an organization that sincerely addresses the issue of “politics and money” as a result of the runoff between the two camps with limited financial resources? It is unlikely, but for those involved in the Ishiba campaign, Sara Udon and Katsu Katsu Curry must have tasted very special. Mr. Takeatsu Asai, a secretary in the office of Shoji Maitate, 49, a member of the House of Councilors, who worked as a “lunch box magistrate” for the Ishiba campaign and managed the 15-day menu, explains that “the foodie watchdog” is a nickname he carries with him.

Kazuhide Yonehama, president of Ringer Hut, is from Tottori, the same hometown as candidate Ishiba. He is also a fan of Sara Udon and Champon. That is the reason why Ringer Hut has served him lunch boxes on four occasions.

Ishiba loves to cook, and when he was secretary general, he became the talk of the town when he served “Ishiba Curry,” which he made by combining spices he bought overseas, at the party convention’s eve party. Now that he is the new president, will he serve “Ishiba Sara Udon” next?
