From January 9th, 2003, the TRA took part in the 38th Ekiben (" station lunches ") exhibition at Keio department store in Shinjuku, Japan. Each day at the exhibition they had 700 lunches up for sale, and once again they sold like hotcakes-every last lunch was sold within 15 minutes.
今年元月九日，台鐵便當應日本新宿京王百貨邀請，參加第三十八屆「驛便」（車站便當）大會，每天供應七百個，結果再度造成大搶購，開場不到十五分鐘，所有的便當即銷售一空。
