"Japanesel Japan" news and stories

We certainly love bento boxes here at Slashfood. I think I am utterly fascinated by this utter fascination with such incredible artistry in a lunchbox. It is something that is so foreign to me as an American. When I was in elementary school, I think the most creative thing I took to school for lunch was gim-bahp, and when that happened I was totally embarrassed that I didn't have something normal like a sandwich. 

If you're as amazed as I am by these miniature masterpieces, take a peek at yet another site dedicated to bento boxes. The site is in Japanese, but the creativity and detail in the photos need no translation.
