More and more people choose to bring their own bento instead of going to the cafeteria or ordering takeaway. This not only saves the trouble of "what to eat", but also makes work meals healthier and more nutritious according to your own taste and preferences.

As we all know, "bento" comes from Japan, so what exactly is a bento? Is it just a box for carrying food?

As the name suggests, food that is easy to carry, portable food is a bento. This is not a culture unique to Japan, and I believe anyone in the world has had the experience of taking out food.

But for the Japanese, bento is not just portable food, but a comprehensive food culture. It is even called "a treasure box full of (family or cook) heart", which is a food culture full of fun. Lunch bentos eaten at school or at work, refined theater bentos, station bentos that add fun to travel, airline meals, cherry blossom viewing bentos and maple viewing bentos that you can enjoy while enjoying the beautiful scenery of each season, etc. Precious memories are more colorful and important elements, from which we can also understand the Japanese love for bento culture.

In the past, portable food was just to satisfy hunger, but with the changes of the times, it has now developed into a food type with various elements such as beautiful in shape and taste, pleasing to the eye, balanced nutrition, convenient and fast, and diverse functions.

It’s not just the Japanese who love the bento culture. Japanese-style bento is also very popular in New York, Paris and other parts of the world. Japan's bento culture is going global.

Today, the Japanese pronunciation of "Bento" has become a common vocabulary in the world, and bento culture has entered the mainstream. In Japan in the past, enjoying food was only the privilege of some people. The techniques of recipes, catering and plate arrangement are also "secrets" that only generals and famous cooks have the opportunity to learn. Bento has been able to develop to this day and become a delicacy that ordinary people can enjoy. It has experienced many historical changes.

 When you open the bento with great anticipation, what is filled inside is not only exquisite food, but also the deep care and exquisite love of the family, which is the warmth and taste of home!
