Bento: one of Japanese favorite food

Other favorite japanese food is Bento. According to wikipedia, bento is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container. Containers range from disposable mass produced to hand crafted lacquerware.

Bento can contain rolls, such as california rolls, sushi rice, or grilled misho chicken. I don't think ramen can be an ideal item for bento because it's soupy.
Or as we can say in other word, Bento is japanese lunch box. It is often created beautifully, almost too pretty to eat it.
