Why do Japanese housewives make so exquisite lunch boxes?

Among the Japanese personality labels, there is always one that pursues refinement. In the entire Japanese food environment, they also pay attention to the shape of dishes, treating cooked dishes as a kind of art in natural scenery to embellish people's lives.

So bento is always exquisite and very aesthetic. It pays attention to shape, coordination and decoration. A simple bento often takes a lot of time to make. Food is the most important thing for the people, and Japanese people also show their pursuit of exquisiteness and beauty when eating bento.

When we eat lunch boxes, most of us try to eat them hot. The Japanese do not need to heat their lunch boxes. In Japanese dramas, I saw some students and company employees eating the lunch boxes they brought with them and enjoying them with gusto. They think there is nothing wrong with eating unheated bento boxes, not to mention that the most common bento boxes eaten by Japanese people are dry food such as sushi rice balls, which can be eaten without heating them.

In addition, the Japanese believe that heating food before eating will destroy the taste of the food itself, and the heat and aroma of the food may offend others. The pursuit of nature and purity, and the importance of other people's opinions more than one's own, are all Japanese characteristics that can be seen in bento.

Bento is one of the characteristics of Japanese culture, but in fact the word "bento" originated from a common saying in the Southern Song Dynasty, which means "convenient thing, convenient, smooth". After being introduced to Japan, it was expressed as "Bian Dao", "Bian Dao", "Bian Dang", etc. Later, it was introduced to China with the word "Bendang" in Japanese.
