What is Obento/Bento?

Obento is an art, but also a meal. In Japan, school children are treated to elaborate boxed lunches that are not only healthy and delicious, but beautiful to look at. Obento is traditionally a mom-made meal that is carefully constructed with love and offers a connection to home and family while the child is away at school. Because the meals are handmade, they usually take an enormous amount of preparation time and planning to create a balanced meal that is appetizing and appealing to the eyes.

To create these adorable lunches, onigiri (rice) and eggs are molded into the shapes of animals or cartoon characters and garnished with faces cut or punched out of seaweed, meats, cheese, etc. Carefully sliced fruits and vegetables are transformed into flowers, miniature animals, stars or basically, anything cute. The rice and other foods can also be dyed naturally to add even more variety to the palette.

Obento is packed in a waste-free container, with a thermos and reusable chopsticks or utensils, so it is a “green” lunch! If you think about the amount of garbage that is collected in just one school lunchroom in America each day you will realize the impact that prepackaged convenience foods have on the environment.

Tonight I watched Hayao Miyazaki’s film, Ponyo, for the first time and fell in love with Sosuke and his sidekick Ponyo. I watched the film dubbed in English, but next is the Japanese version with English subtitles to see what Disney ruined ;-).
