They're not as glamorous as Kobe beef or Ginza sushi but the bento boxed lunches are as much a part of Japanese food culture. In a way, they are even more so because their price and convenience mean the average Japanese consumes as many bento boxes as they do regular meals. The Bento Japanese Boxed Lunch Backpack is a tribute to this staple of the Japanese diet that you can wear on your back and let everyone know what your culinary tastes are – at the same time, like bento themselves, this is an amazingly convenient everyday bag!
What looks like three sections of food arranged in the typical bento style – rice with an umeboshi pickle, fried chicken and omelet, and broiled salmon – are actually separate pouches that attach to the Bento Japanese Boxed Lunch Backpack with hook and loop fasteners, but can be easily detached any time. In other words, this is essentially a four-bag system that can accommodate not just your everyday school or work items but even your clothes and necessities for a weekend trip! And at 40 x 25 x 17 cm (15.7 x 9.8 x 6.7"), it's a suitable size for carrying even by children!
