Soboro Bento

January 30, 2014 by yokosakai

There are so many bento options in japan, but I have to say soboro bento is probably one of the most popular ones.  I remember I was so happy to see the bright yellow, green and brown color when I opened a bento box as a child!  Here in America, I often make this for a special occasion like a family picnic or outdoor party rather than as an everyday school lunch option.  Anyone who tries this will just love this flavor harmony!
