This chara-ben’s motif is “NARUTO“!!
Right now, the “chara-ben” is hugely booming among kids!
“Chara-ben” is a kid’s “bento” lunch box with rice, sausages or cheese making shapes of those popular characters. “Chara-ben”’s pronunciation is [kara-ben] .
You can even buy the recipes or tools specifically designed for making “chara-ben”.
Crumbled and seasoned meat/egg are generally called “soboro”（そぼろ） in Japanese. Soboro are often used as toppings on steamed rice.
Different colored soboro are presented on top of the rice in a lunch box. Very tasty.
daruma bento
I went to Nagano on the Shinkansen last weekend. I had Ekiben(Daruma bento &
Kamameshi bento) both ways(going and coming) on the Shinkansen.
They were made with tasty riches from the mountains like bamboo shoot,
shiitake mushrooms, etc. It’s always fun to eat Ekiben on the trains.
Daruma bento comes in a Daruma dolls. Daruma dolls are hollow and round Japanese wish dolls with no arms or legs,modelled after Bodhidharma.
kamameshi
Kamameshi bento comes in a rustic earthenware pot.
Ekiben (Railway boxed meal) are a specific type of bento boxed meals, sold on
trains and train stations in Japan.
Ekiben containers can be very attractive: made from plastic, wood, or ceramic.
Many train stations have since become famous for their especially tasty ekiben,
made from local food specialties.
