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?
Hello Kitty in the corner is cute!
This one is amazing!
This is the one I want to eat most of all!!
This is the one I am going to try tomorrow!!
Ah, there is a lot of talent in bento making out there!
Lunchtime has become an appealing meal again! Click through on photos to see more on bento’s from each photographer on flickr.

That sure is some collection of Obentos.:) And each one has something different to offer. Very appestizing, colorful and too good looking to eat. But just a comment , I’m wondering if some people would say why go to all that bother for lunch? I’m not in that catagory, I would take pride knowing someone went to all that effort to make sure that they hab a great lunch.
Great article.

I have always been an admirer of creativity in food aesthetics. Unfortunately I almost never bring a camera along to restaurants and have to rely on my camera phone.
