Maiko Kyogoku knows her way around a bento box, so it’s no shocker that she’s slaying the prepared-foods and takeout game. Her rice and udon bowls come with toppings ranging from shrimp balls to chickpea curry, and then there are 12-piece buckets of Bessou’s fantastic kaarage, plus pork chashu, and Japanese crab cake sandos, and pounds of frozen marinated meats like soy-ginger ribeye and miso-rubbed salmon to cook at home. Indulge here.
