What is Teriyaki? What is Bento?
A Guide to Teriyaki Chicken Bento
Hello. This is Nozomi from Ten Sushi.
I think everyone knows what teriyaki chicken is nowadays as well as bento. But what about bento?
First of all, let’s clarify what bento is.
Bento is generally a home packed meal in one container (bento box) that can be eaten without being heated up. There are a multitude of different kinds of bento. Which are usually named after the main protein. For example, karaage (fried chicken) bento and teriyaki bento. However, bento is also named after where you buy them, like bento that you buy at train stations are called eki-ben, short for eki (train station) bento. Bento are also named after the manner in when the food is arranged. For example, kyara-ben, short for character bento is bento that are arranged usually by shaping rice to look like a character such as, Hello Kitty.
