THE GALLERY by odo is celebrating Hinamatsuri (Japan’s Girl’s Day) and International Women’s Day with a special Hinamatsuri Bento, available for lunch through March 2025. This exquisitely crafted bento ($75 per person) features temari sushi, seasonal salads, miso-marinated yellowtail, udon with Wagyu, and more—each element honoring tradition, femininity, and inclusivity.
