When I was in Japan in March, I fell in love with bento (meaning "lunch") all over again. When you catch the Shinkansen (bullet train), you can purchase bento from the lady who brings the cart around, or at the station platform from a number of little kiosks.
Many people take their lunch to work or school, so bento boxes have been designed in various shapes and sizes.
With the Japanese knack for making everything functional and cute, bento are a great idea for your kids school lunches, or just to make it fun to take your lunch to work.
These are a few of my favourites available from the ever-reliable JList.
