Food: Bento (lunch box)

Hey!

Something Japanese...The special lunch boxes! If you watch anime you have probably seen them carry around a special wrapped box, this is in fact a lunch box (duh.. Cap'n obvious strikes again!)
Well my point is that, Japanese people are kinda lucky to have the tradition that the parents (I think it's usually the mother) making these lunch boxes for their kid. (I don't know exactly how normal it is with the bento boxes though)



Bento boxes is like a type of art, since in Japan, you can buy all kinds of extra stuff like cutters for special shapes, extra decorations like flowers and grass made of plastic and stuff

Cute animal decorations

Leaf and grass : )

Next I will post some random pictures of bento-boxes so that you'll see how pretty and good-looking they can really be : 

Cute animals and Domo-kun made from rice

Rainbow bento! Really nicely done! 

 Store-made bento boxes

Ordinary bento without much decorations :) 

This one is pretty epic! :D 


And ofc I had to try making one myself so here it is!!:


I spent about 2 hours making this lunch box, so it takes alot of time
But it's totally worth it. At least when you are living in a place where the lunch usually is just dry plain boring bread.. :


That's it for this blog post, if you wanna know more about bento boxes post a comment or just google it x)
