These are some pictures I meant to upload a while back, but am just now getting to them.  This was a fantastic bento that I had at work a week or so ago.  One thing that I love about the culture here is that presentation is very important in Japan.  This is something that, if you came to Japan, you would probably discover within a few hours of being here.  At pretty much any place you go, from the most expensive stores around all the way down to the seven-elevens, they treat presentation of merchandise with great care.  It’s incredible.  And it’s probably one of the things I will miss most about Japan when I return to the US.  Because even a ten-dollar bento lunch, with the right presentation, can make you feel like you’re eating like a king.
