Bento lunch boxes have been around for 400 years in Japan. What is bento? Bento (弁当) is a single portion meal packed in a container. A bento, or obento, is a single-portion take-out or home-packed meal, often for lunch. The word ‘bento’ is derived from the Chinese term ‘Biandang’ meaning ‘convenience’ or ‘usefulness’.
Bento boxes are an essential part of Japanese food culture, and you can find them throughout the country with many varieties from commercial catering to well-crafted artisanal boxes. It is an affordable and a convenient way to enjoy a midday meal for Japanese people of all ages.
