What is Bento?
A bento lunch is a compact, balanced, visually appealing meal packed in a box. Historically, it’s a Japanese box lunch, similar in concept to the Indian tiffin, the Korean dosirak, or the Filipino baon lunch. In Japanese, “bento” or “obento” refers to the packed meal, and “bento-bako” refers to the bento box itself.
Where do I buy a bento box?
eBay has a wide variety of bento boxes, there are also some on Jbox.com. These are the only places I know of so far. You may also want to check an oriental store of some kind, they MAY have bento boxes, but I am not sure.
