There are many varieties, such as classic pork chop lunch, barbecue lunch, roast pork lunch, roast salmon lunch, three-color rice and so on. For fast-paced Japan, bento is the first choice for many students and office workers.
Generally speaking, when buying a box lunch, the cashier will ask you "ぁたためますか?" Do you need heating? Generally speaking, people still like to eat hot box lunch, which will clearly write down what wattage they need to heat for how long.
Microwave ovens are also common in offices, teaching buildings and other public places. People often use it to heat supermarket lunches, homemade lunches or other convenience store lunches, such as hamburgers and rice balls. In terms of taste, it is also spicy and delicious. However, convenience stores similar to the whole family will also sell dishes like "China Cold Noodles", which are also very popular in Japan now and generally do not need heating.
In addition, there are many specialized bento shops or bento chain stores in Japan. I usually use Hottomotto, a well-known bento chain, which can provide various services such as purchasing, booking and home delivery. You can make an appointment to pick it up. There are many kinds of box lunches, which can also be ordered separately and served with dishes. And you can also buy Japanese rice. There is a very famous lunch shop outside the north gate of Waseda University. The slogan is "Good morning?" ? Ann? うまい? Duo? ",which has been in business for many years, is also a place that many Waseda students must go every day.
Generally speaking, Japan has put a lot of thought into bento, and it is a big step ahead of us in variety, taste and vision. The nutrition is reasonable and convenient. The development of Japanese bento industry is directly related to the dense distribution of convenience stores. At present, the convenience stores in China are booming, and a new situation will definitely appear in our lunch industry in the future.
