Bento
A single portion boxed lunch or meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish/meat and vegetables on the side. The containers are usually compartmentalized, but not always.
It is even thought of as an art form and a skill. The food is often arranged to resemble other objects, such as flowers, leaves, cartoon characters etc.
For examples, be sure to check out our Bento of the Week posts.

I want a Bento Box so bad. Anyone have any suggestions on finding a good one?
1My love for Bento Boxes can be summed up in one word: Magic.
2I love eating out of Bento boxes, I like it that the different foods don't touch. You just feel special eating out of one.

7I love bento boxes. If you are fortunate enough to live anywhere near a Mitsuwa market store...they have great ones at their sushi counter. I rarely know what most of it is...but that's half the adventure! I've never not liked something yet.
