Very nice monthly topic @HiroyukiTakisawa .

Bento will be difficult to see this time around, even in Restaurants because the lockdown is partially lifted.

Anyways before this month runs out, I will see what I can do about it.

Notwithstanding, thank you for this monthly topic, I sincerely thank @Ant_Bad_Yogi for persuading me and others to join.

It is really fun and wonderful.

Best regards @HiroyukiTakisawa

I will ask around for this cuisine @HiroyukiTakisawa , probably my friends in Lagos and Abuja where Bento can be easily seen because they have lots of Japanese restaurants there may have cross path on this meal.

Sure,I will try and write about it even if I have eaten it yet. :grinning:

Maybe when everything is normal, I will go get it. :grinning:

Itadakimasu is a Japanese language I learnt from @Izumi , I hope it means well. :grin:

@HiroyukiTakisawa Thank you for the summary of April’s posts. Ah this month, I got an idea about it. Let’s see how I come up with a post about Bento.

@Austinelewex It can be home-packed meal. You cook and pack, pretend to take the box for lunch. :slightly_smiling_face:

OMG @HiroyukiTakisawa

Your pictures of bento are so nice. They give me the desire to try them all. I love japonese food. Unfortunatly I live in a small village and there is japonese food. Each time I go to bigger city I try eat japonese!

I have no bento picture to share!

Thanks a lot for this brilliant post

Have a nice sunday

「魅力的なお弁当！」
さくらちゃんと紫雲出山に登って、景色のいいところで食べたキティちゃん弁当です。

まだ開けてないけど、さくらちゃんが「わぁ～♡」と言った瞬間であります。
以上、ジジバカ投稿でした。

@FalguniP Here is the definition of Bento, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bento. I think we can write about to go lunch box or homemade lunch box. It’s up to you. No need to be Japanese food.
