It's so funny that this post is here because I had been wondering what bento was for the longest time and finally just looked it up. Then I saw this post.
Those lunches are adorable! Especially the panda one on the LJ blog.

When I was in Japan we bought obentos at the train station and they weren't that great. When we have leftover japanese food I will sometimes have obento for lunch but it's not even as fancy as the last link. Unfortunately I lost one of the lids for my lunch box so I haven't had it in awhile
I love Japanese lunch boxes but my favorite restaurant needs to see the ones you posted - they are awesome! ANd of course, I was sitting here eating a bologna sandwich at the time - how boring! lol
It's nice to know someone else on the mu forum enjoys anime! I have been wondering about the lunchbox trend in certain animes also, so this post is really cool! I just finished Maburaho (which is a harem-style anime) and the girls compete with each other often by trying to make the best box lunch for the boy they all like...
It's a great way to get kids to eat healthy. If someone made a bento box for me I'd feel so loved. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm an anime "nerd" too. Otaku desu!
I was just reading about these in Rachel Ray's magazine too. I want to start packing my lunch and I loved them so much, I just bought myself one. It was just too cute to pass up. Now I just need to get in gear and pack my lunch when it arrives.
What are some of your favorite things to pack for lunch, bento box or just regular lunch?
