Bento box lunch á la Sushi

June 25, 2008 FauxPas 1 comment

For lunch or breakfast, bento is a remarkably fresh & organised cuisine ready to go (sloppy junk-burgers with dripping dressing soaked in trans-fat oil, that’s a NO NO!!!!)

The bento box concept originated…(i don’t know). But you can buy it practicaly everywhere. And it is such a nutritious strike of geniosity, no wonder the japanese keep working all daylong…

Sushi edition include: egg, to the far left is Tunafish (not hermitacly selaed tin-can edition), king shrimp, squid, salmon, omelette and ikura (salmon roe/giant caviar)

Bambooo leaf (-substitute) is usually brought into the mix, so the different ingredients wont showell, turining into a bento-mess.

On the surface, the Japanese seem exceptionally well adjusted, smart and content. The concept of Wa, states the importance of working and living together in peace and harmony, avoiding confrontation is essential.

And it looks good…on the surface!

Proverb of the day “Deru kui wa utareru” Its better to conform than to stand out. (Or maybe not?)

The Godzilla statue is hidden deep inside the heart of Ginza, hard to find. Espezially when you keep looking up at the sky for a cosmic edition…

A bit more eye catching though, the life size blue whale located outside the national science museum..
