Bentos
Friday, June 5, 2009 | Posted by Jay One of the first things I learned about Japanese food when I arrived at Narita Airport: bentos are EVERYWHERE! No matter what restaurant or typical grocery store you go to (even bakeries), you'll find bentos for sale.
The ones sold in restaurants can be very lavish and fancy, typically made to be eaten on the spot at the restaurant. But if you're on a budget, you can get one just as easily (though not quite as fancy and yummy-looking) at your local convenient store (Family Mart, K, the Daily Store).
As an exchange student on an even tighter budget than your typical modest Japanese citizen, I decided to try making my own bentos. So far they've proven to be quite edible, and they're definitely helping me save in the long run.Some pictures of my first bento week experience: Bentos Gallery
Some good resource links for bento-making:- Bento Basics
This site has been the most helpful. They also have regular updates on simple bento recipes to try. - Japanese O-Bento Recipes (Japanese website)
