Bring me a bento! 

What exactly is a Bento? It’s a type of meal (typically for 1 person) full of plenty of goodies that you can eat anywhere! Japan loves a meal on the go! Keeping up your energy with tasty food is super important, and Japan has no shortages of tasty lunch or dinner alternatives.

In the past, bento ranged from a bag of rice to be cooked later to elaborate meals to be enjoyed during hanami (Cherry Blossom Viewing) parties. But gradually the standard bento for people on the go became rice balls wrapped in a bamboo leaf. Even in the 1800’s this was popular and was thought to be the first Ekiben (Japan’s famous train station bento).

Bento is always changing and evolving with the times though! They are now tasty meals for one, packed into cool bento boxes with different compartments to keep it looking neat and tasting fresh! 

School kids get to enjoy cute or character inspired bento boxes, while adults can enjoy a balanced lunch full of tasty and healthy goodies. You don’t even have to make them yourself – convenience stores and supermarkets have a wide selection of bento boxes to try. Or if you are like the TokyoTreat team – fill your bento box with snacks!

Will you try making a bento?
