Bento Boxes

What's in a Bento Box?

Bento Boxes can contain any number of different food items.  Bento boxes have internal dividers, and sometimes several stacked layers, so the different kinds of food sit in their own little compartments.  The base of any bento lunch is cold, cooked white rice, or sometimes noodles - the filling, carbohydrate-rich staples of the Japanese diet.  In addition, there's okazu - side dishes, which can include meat, fish, eggs, tofu, fruit and vegetables, all presented in bite-size form for easy pick-up with the included chopsticks.
