Just 4 points to understand the history of Japanese bento boxes! 3 MUST EAT ekiben at Kyoto station

If you are a fan of Japanese anime or manga, you would find many stories where the characters enjoy colorful and delicious looking “bento” meal boxes.

The bento are not just in the world of anime and manga, but they are still deeply rooted in our daily lives today.
Many children will bring bento to schools that their parents have made for them in the morning.
There are many seasonal traditions like hanami where we enjoy bento outside, and almost every convenience store or supermarket in Japan sells them all year round.

But when did this culture start?
Why and how are they enjoyed?

So today, I will explain about the history of bento boxes in Japan, as well as how they are enjoyed today.
In the latter half of the video, Kazu, Harumi, and I, Team Let's ask Shogo, will eat three of our most recommended “eki-ben” you can buy at Kyoto station, so you can take a closer look at the actual bento enjoyed in Japan today.

This video is especially recommended to those who have plans to visit Japan someday, to deepen your knowledge about the culture before coming.
