It is definitely different because it taste soooo good. The spices %26amp; combination of various types of ingredients are so interesting %26amp; simple. It is so different from our foods that we are used to like hamburgers %26amp; hot dogs. The Japanese bento is edible %26amp; filing not to mention healthier. Reasonable too. It just hits the spot....Wat make bento so different from others?
Too late to have any REAL input on this, but it's a yes/no answer. Yes, it's the same ingredients, but at the same time they're presented differently than regular food. Bento is as much an art form and philosophy as it is a meal.

I believe it has traditional sushi, not the classic American-Asian 'california rolls' or wuteverWat make bento so different from others?
In my opinion, it's because of the mass-produced sushi.



Fish is WAY more popular in Japan, because they're so close to the ocean.



American-born citizens (that I know of) who do eat sushi, don't carry it to school/work in a bento box.



It IS the same every-day ingredients, but most of the time it's raw, and packed into sushi.
