290 Yen Bento Countdown Finished
Ok, enough with the bento countdown already, the suspense is just killing everyone! I can hear it in the eerie silence that is the world of blog xml feeds.
Here is my number 2 favorite bento on my top 5 countdown. This bento is so delicious I cannot adequately describe it in words. Granted, the rice, spaghetti, egg, and vegetables are all the same as the other bentos listed here, however this one takes a higher spot because of the main component.
Let your eyes feast on that for a minute! The fried meat cutlet is on a bed of finely shredded cabbage and is topped with a most magnificent mixture of two sauces. I couldn’t believe what it was when I first found out, but it is simply tartar sauce and a sweet - almost honey - sauce both brushed across the top.
I love that bento.
And in the spirit of love… its time to find out my number 1 bento… drumroll please… ok, thats enough. My favorite bento is an “aisai” bento and I don’t even have a photo of it. Reason being, because an “aisai” bento is translated as a “loving wife” bento - a dish of food made by my loving wife for me to take to work. Since every dish is different I cant show any photo, but just imagine a Tupperware container filled with 6 small portions of some Japanese style food on top of a bed of rice and you have it.
