Obento - お弁当 -

Obento - お弁当 -_b0189321_12451693.jpgObento or Bento (お弁当) is a Japanese lunch box. There are two types, one is a home-made lunch box and the other is a single-portion takeout sold at train stations, department stores, convenience stores, take-out Bento shops and more. In the former case, usually housemakers get up early and prepare each healthy and balanced Obento for own husbands and children.

Nowadays, unique Obento called "Chara-Ben" is popular among mothers with small children. "Chara-Ben" means character Bento, which is elaborately arranged and decorated looking alike Japanese Manga (anime) characters. Children would love it and can have fun during lunchtime.

A Photo below shows characters from "Anpan-man"(アンパンマン), very popular cartoon animation for young children in Japan, cute!
