The value of a bento is tenderness, deliciousness, and making people smile.

Hi everyone.
This topic is about my favorite bento.
Lunch boxes are offered in various places.
And it provides deliciousness and smiles to those who eat lunch.
Delicious bento is also a great communication tool.
I would like to introduce you to some of the bento I ate.

If I get on the Shinkansen …

Of course I eat delicious lunch.
The bento to eat while looking at the car window is exceptionally delicious.

When I travel on the Taiwan Shinkansen …

I bought a bento for in-car sale.

The bento of Taiwan Railway is very delicious.
It is a bento that makes traveling even more enjoyable.

I eat delicious lunch even when I fly.

I buy not only bento but also in-flight sales.LOL

When my family went to the zoo …

I woke up earlier than my family, made lunch for my family and ate at the zoo.
It’s a very fun memory.

This photo was taken when I shopped at a Foodland Farm in Ala Moana, Hawaii.

Bento was very popular in Hawaii and sold out early in the evening.
There are many delicious lunch boxes.

This is a photo of when I went to buy a bento at the national bento competition held at Keio Department Store in Shinjuku.
It was a very popular tournament and I lined up for two hours before entering.

A photo taken at a national bento competition.
A very famous Hokkaido squid lunch. I flew to Hokkaido because I wanted to eat this squid lunch.

All the bento boxes I bought at the national bento tournament are wonderfully delicious.
It’s worth the deliciousness that I bought for 2 hours.
With this deliciousness, I can wait 3 hours.LOL

Lunch boxes also represent the season.
This lunch is a spring lunch. When I look at the package with the picture of cherry blossoms, my heart gets excited.
It makes you feel like you are at a cherry blossom viewing while at home.

Kiyoken bento is a wonderful lunch that makes you feel the season.
Each ingredient has a meaning, and if you eat it while understanding the meaning, it will be a delicious food experience.

Of course I also eat lunch at work.
Bento is a useful tool for encouraging communication in the workplace and making everyone in the workplace smile.

I hope that everyone can smile and go out without a mask as soon as possible.
Please take care of yourself And with a smile.
Thank you very much. Regard

I want to mention one interesting thing at first, when I saw the topic regarding “Bento” by @HiroyukiTakisawa I searched in the dictionary for the meaning of this word. When I came to know about the meaning of Bento a laughed a little, because I already know the meaning of it but I know it as OBento :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: . Anyway, thanks for sharing this nice post with lot of photos of delicious and mouthwatering foods inside the Bentos. Photos of the Shinkansens are also amazing. Great post indeed @955HIRO . Thanks for sharing.

Good evening. It is a great honor to praise my topic.
Bento is closely related to Japanese cultural history. The samurai headed for the war with his bento. A delicious bento has the immeasurable power to inspire and make people smile. Thank you very much. Regard

美味しい弁当は人を惹きつける魅力がありますよね。

東京駅 新幹線改札近くにある弁当屋ではいつも大勢の方々が弁当を求めて混み合っています。

私は国内外問わず旅行に行った先で弁当を買いますが、この渡航先での弁当買いはとても有意義な食の経験だと思います。

小さな弁当の中にその地域の特産品や名物が並ぶ弁当や地域の発展のストーリーまで詰め込んである弁当などに出会えると興奮してしまいます。

また美味しい弁当に出会える旅をしたいと思います。

ありがとうございます。

@yamamo_cchi さん、こんばんわ。

全く同感です^^

崎陽軒の弁当には昔から変わらない美味しさへのコダワリがあり、コンビニ弁当とはレベルの違うパフォーマンスがあると思います。

消費期限たったの数時間という崎陽軒の弁当は美味しさへのコダワリだと思います。

崎陽軒が毎季節ごとに限定販売する弁当は全て購入して食べていますが、どれも流石と思わせる出来です。

小さな折にストーリーを感じる美味しさが詰まった逸品だと思います。

Good evening. Exactly! The lunch you eat on the Shinkansen has a special taste. A bento to eat while looking out at the train window is a treat that excels even French course meals. There are various bento boxes in Japan. The bento containing regional specialties is delicious. If you come to Japan, please eat bento. Thank you very much. Regard

Good evening. Exactly! The bento contains various ingredients. It looks exciting just by looking at the bento. It will be more exciting to eat. A bento is a small box, but its contents have a story. A small world of bento is spreading, such as the combination of the tastes of the ingredients, the order in which they are eaten, and the colors. If you have the opportunity to eat Japanese bento, please try it. Thank you very much. Regard

@nakashi さん、こんばんわ。

日本の駅弁文化は大変興味深い発展をしていて、地域性に富んだ文化の開花があると思います。

街道沿いにも華やかな弁当文化が開花していて、調理法など工夫を凝らした弁当がたくさんあります。

この弁当は明治36年から売り出されている小田原駅の名物・小鯵押寿司と、脂ののった金目鯛の炙り寿司を一箱に詰めこんだ贅沢な逸品です。

脂の乗った小鯵、更に脂の乗った金目を贅沢に使った東華軒の素晴らしい弁当です。

千枚漬と広島菜で包んだ口直しの梅ちり寿司ごはんを詰める食味のストーリーまで考えられた素晴らしい弁当です。

その昔の東海道の旅はもしかすると、今よりもコダワリのある美味しい弁当を食べていたのかもしれません^^

ありがとうございます。

こんにちは @955HIRO さん、

駅弁と空弁についての投稿を有難うございます。その中で、日本と台湾の弁当文化には興味深い関連性があります。

台湾の弁当文化は日本統治時代の鉱業や林業で日本人によりもたらされました。

台湾人は彼らのブリキの弁当から着想を得て、照り焼きのフライドチキン(鶏排)を載せる「鶏肉弁当」として画一的に発展させました。そのため弁当の種類が非常に少ないのです。

(金瓜石 鉱工食堂 @YasumiKikuchi )

九份に隣接する金瓜石黄金博物館で、当時の日本人が使用したブリキの弁当箱を再現したお土産がセットになった台湾弁当を楽しめます。数ある台湾土産の中でオススメしたい一品です。

(奮起湖大飯店 @YasumiKikuchi )

阿里山鉄道で登る山奥の町、奮起湖が台湾弁当の名所です。

奮起湖大飯店というホテルのロビーで、とても美味しい台湾弁当が食べられます。

台湾鉄道で車内販売される紙箱の60元(約210円)が、スタンダードな台湾弁当といえます。台湾名物のひとつです。
一般的に台湾鉄道の弁当は少ない量で満腹感を得るために非常に濃い味に仕上げられていますが、奮起湖大飯店の弁当はレストランのような絶妙な味付けです。

@YasumiKikuchi さん、こんばんは。

私も台湾の弁当文化に興味を持ち、少し勉強していました。

とても興味深い台湾の弁当文化の生い立ちや情報ありがとうございます。

台湾の弁当文化を知った上で目の前の骨付き鶏肉揚げが乗った弁当を食べるのはとても有意義な食の経験だと思います。

以前の旅行で台北駅にある全ての台鉄弁当を見て回りました。

とても楽しいひとときでした。

Teh @Nyainurjanah Bento itu bahasa Jepang yang merujuk ke kotak (baik itu bekal dari rumah, kotak makan dari restoran, atau bahkan seperti kotak plastik atau sterofoam pas kita beli makanan di supermarket) dengan isian nasi dan berbagai lauk pauk. Yang pasti kalau bento itu disajikannya di kotak, bukan di bungkusan kayak nasi Padang hehehe…

Tau restoran Hokben ga, Teh? Itu terkenal di Indonesia menyajikan bento, dan walaupun dari nama dan menunya Jepang banget, tapi restoran ini asli Indonesia loh :grinning:

Hi @955HIRO -san, what a great post! It is true that bento brings a lot of memory because we could eat it in every occasion, including while we are in a train, too. You make me miss traveling with high speed train. I used to buy bento in a convenient store before heading to the high speed train in Taiwan and China. Love it :heart:

I really adore the bento box packaging in Japan. They are so beautiful!

Here I would like to share a Bento that I ate in Tangerang, Indonesia :

Hello. It is a great honor to praise my topic. Thank you very much. Japanese bento usually contains rice, which is the staple food of the Japanese people. In other words, it is a lunch box packed with dishes arranged on a table. There are distinctive bento boxes in each region of Japan. If you travel, eat all the food in the area and you’ll meet a new food culture you never knew. Thank you very much. Regard
