Bento, in its most common context, refers to a single-portion meal commonly served in a compact, usually compartmentalized container. Originating from Japan, bento meals typically include a variety of ingredients, such as rice, fish, meat, and pickled or cooked vegetables, arranged aesthetically to create an appealing presentation. The concept of bento emphasizes not only convenience and portability for meals, often packed for lunch, but also a balance of flavors, colors, and nutrition. Beyond Japanese cuisine, the term “bento” has also been adopted in various cultures, reflecting the desire for balanced meal portions in a convenient format. In recent years, bento has gained popularity worldwide, especially among food enthusiasts and in culinary trends, leading to creative interpretations and themed bento boxes.
