The culture of bento-box is something we can be proud of. I bought a bento for my long travel today. Newly started Fukutoshin (subcenter) metro-line triggered a survival war among department stores, and Tobu in Ikebukuro refreshed their interior with some new tenants for enhancement such as Chianti, Kinokuniya, or this eashion PREMIER in the food floors.
Look at this picture of bento fashionable enough to attract female consumers. What I noted was the label which spelled “Japanese eel”. It seems sensitively affected by the recent scandal of camouflaging imports from China as “home-grown eels”. Reminding myself the nation of origin each time I buy something is a kind of sad habit.
