An obento, or bento is lunch served in a box. They've been a part of the society since the 5th century. Since then, Bentos have become so popular that you can buy them almost anywhere.
A bento usually consists of fish, meat, vegetables, rice and a fruit. Bentos should look appealing, that's why there are obentos in a shape of a flower or an animal. Mothers take great pride in creating a bento for their children.
