Bento boxes are basically Japan’s answer to a packed lunch which generally contains rice (sometimes dyed in different colors), fish or meat, with pickled or cooked vegetables as a side dish. As with sandwiches, bento boxes can also be bought ready-made, but unlike in western cultures, these are not just meant as meals, but as pieces of art. To the Japanese, making Bento is considered an art, as this cluster clearly points out.
