I Love Obento
Bento (弁当)is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine.
Forced by economic reality, more and more people are brown-bagging it these days. Why not learn from the Japanese and putsome style and creativity into your mobile lunch?
A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container. Containers range from disposable mass produced to hand crafted lacquerware.
Although bento is readily available in many places throughout Japan, including convenience stores, bento shops, train stations, and department stores, it is still common for Japanese homemakers to spend time and energy for their spouse, child, or themselves producing a carefully prepared lunch box.
