Meet Maki Bento
This Saturday, Pirates of the Caribbean is playing at the beach, and it got us thinking about what we’d want to bring for dinner — something satisfying, but still easy to eat.
So we put together five of our favorite maki in one box: Futomaki, Toro Taku Maki, Maguro Zuke Maki, Umi Masu Sesame Maki, and Kani Mayo Soy Roll.
It started as a movie-night idea, but we liked it too much to keep it for one night.
Maki Bento is now part of our bento collection.

A fun idea for your next gathering
Make sure everyone gets exactly what they want with our DIY Bento Boxes — choose your base, favorite seafood, and extras to make it your own.
KINKAN SAKE CLUB
A highly curated monthly selection of sake that is difficult to access and not available in retail.
Many of these bottles come from small, highly regarded sake makers producing in limited quantities. Distribution is selective, and access is built through long-term relationships and trust with the breweries.
These are bottles made to be served with good food, and we choose each one with the table in mind.
Each release includes a full-size bottle, tasting notes, pairing ideas, and access to special selections chosen for Kinkan members.
Join the list for early access when membership opens.
Our Japanese Egg Sando is here
For many people in Japan, egg sando is tied to memory — soft shokupan, creamy egg, and Japanese mayonnaise.
For visitors, it can become one of those little tastes of Japan you never forget.
At Kinkan Market, we wanted to bring that experience here using the best ingredients we can find:
Local shokupan. Rich Jidori eggs. Kewpie mayonnaise. A touch of Japanese curry and mustard.
Meet Chef Nan
Chef Nan Yimcharoen is the founder and chef behind Kinkan Market. Originally from Bangkok, Thailand, Chef Nan moved to Los Angeles over a decade ago. During the pandemic, her handcrafted bento boxes became an underground sensation, earning a devoted following among food lovers, artists, and Hollywood creatives.
In 2021, she opened Kinkan, her acclaimed Thai-Japanese kaiseki restaurant, built with her own savings and an inheritance from her grandmother. As both chef and owner, she created a restaurant recognized by Los Angeles Magazine and The Infatuation as one of Los Angeles' best new restaurants.
Chef Nan's passion for hospitality began in her family's dinner cruise business in Thailand, where she learned from her grandmother, who once cooked for the Thai royal family. She later trained under respected Japanese chefs, developing a deep appreciation for Japanese craftsmanship, seasonal ingredients, and the beauty of thoughtful simplicity.
Today, Kinkan Market is the next chapter in that journey. Inspired by Japan's fish markets and everyday food culture, Chef Nan brings exceptional seafood, handcrafted bento, and carefully selected Japanese pantry items to Hermosa Beach—making high-quality Japanese takeaway part of everyday life.
