Japanese Bento Box My Favourites

Ever stuck for inspiration on lunch boxes? I seem to never get the lunch box right!
So I decided to ‘get smart’ and do some research!

The lunch box or obento is somthing that is traditionally divided up into two parts – half the box with rice and half the box with veggies, fish or a little meat. And the obento box and its variety of foods, over hundreds of years, has become an integral part of Japanese culture.

Doing my research online …. I came up with these favourites – thank you for sharing them with me! Do you have a favourite?

Very cute! and so much variety in the box
