I heart "Bento"

Bentō 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 as a side dish. It is still common for Japanese homemakers to spend considerable time and energy producing an appealing boxed lunch.

"Bento" can be very elaborately arranged. Contests are often held where homemakers can compete for the most aesthetically pleasing arrangements. The food is often decorated to look like people, animals, or characters and items such as flowers and plants. This style of elaborate bento is called "kyaraben"

El bento es, en la cocina japonesa, un paquete o caja de comida que se puede llevar fuera de casa y que está compuesta de varias comidas individuales. El bento tradicional consiste en arroz, pescado o carne, y alguna comida de verduras escabechadas o cocinadas como plato secundario. Muchas veces los bentos se adornan y decoran exquisitamente, o tienen formas estrafalarias
