Bento is a Japanese word means “lunch box”, so many people use the word “bento box” to refer to a lunchbox in Japanese style. But why the Japanese lunchbox is so famous, and even has their own specific term? 

The lunch box culture in Japan is pretty serious, unique and very impressive. Their lunch boxes are not only delicious and nutritious, but many of them are well designed. Many Japanese people decorate their food in a very beautiful or very cute ways (Yeah, as usual of Japanese products!) 

We share plenty of authentic and simple Thai food recipes for bento boxes here. Our Thai food recipes are easy to make, and they are still tasty at room temperature. This is very important for us, because we understand that many people do not warm up their bento before they eat.

Many bento menu come with cute characters from your favourite Anime (Animation), such as One Piece, Rilakkuma. These bento are called “Kyaraben (ă‚­ăƒŁăƒ©ćŒ)”, “Kyara” comes from a word “character” and “ben” comes from a word “bento”. So it literally means character bento.

Too bad that some people have to grow up and too shy to have anime characters in their bento all the time, so there are bento boxes for adults as well. Normally these bento boxes have less decoration elements, and the food might be more healthy. You can see some examples in our Healthy Bento section.
