Bento boxes!

I love all things sushi-related, cutesy, and Japanese-y, so imagine my surprise/joy last night at discovering the awesomeness that is bento boxes. Bento is basically a Japanese boxed lunch, but some people have gotten really creative with them.

This is how a bento box would typically look if served in a restaurant.

The more elaborate bento boxes--the ones I fell in luh with--are called kyaraben.
