Bento or Sandwich?

Do you prefer Bento rather than Sandwich?

Bento is Japanese culture. It makes us happy.
There are some reasons that Bento is special; the color, tast, location, who we eat with and so on.

Originally, Bento came from China.
The ethymology is convenient(便當) and after introduced in Japan, other Kanji was applied.

Why Bento is so common?
Japanese rice has the characteristic that it's delicious even if it get cold.
Therefore, the Bento culture in Japan was developed, compared with other countries.


In this week, Bento culture was appeared in two dramas which I watched.
One is "Goddess who lost her name".
The main character Yuko go on a excursion of kindergarten with her son Kenta.
They eat lunch with their friend family.

The other is "Good life".
The main character's son Waku is leukemia and has been in the hospital.
His father goes out with him to let Waku forget his troubles.
One of Waku's requests for going out was a delicious Bento.

Bento is our status of picnic and one of the amusement for the picnic.
And it is not only for picnic, but also daily.
In the homemade Bento, a lot of love is contained.

Otherwhile, American lunch style is almost sandwich, apple, yogurt and snacks.
I think it is also good, but Bento is more tasteful.

How do you think?

Chou a la creme (a cream puff)

A cream puff means cabbage filled with cream.


I think it's well-known, isn't it?



It contains flouwer, eggs and butter.






If you see TV drama "Rebound", you will want to eat sweets!



A cream puff is one of the sweets which Taichi Imai (Mokomichi Hayami), confectioner, make for his girlfriend Nobuko (Saki Aibu).

And Chou a la creme connect them.

It is her memorial food. He tries to reproduct the taste.




In this drama, Nobuko repeats rebound and diet, because she gets fat by having a taste of his new cakes.

She relies on medicine.

It will cause something bad next week.



The drama is interesting from the point of fiction, but if it's real, it is not good for the body.









To tell the truth, I was little disappointed at Saki Aibu's fat face.

Sure enough, person is face?

Not all, but also...

Andoufhnut

Who loves TV drama "Jin"?

It is a magnificence story that a doctor, who lives in present-day, slip into Edo era and lead the medical progress, involed in history.

In that time, Beriberi has broken out. He makes Andoughnuts to save people.

Andoughnut is a doughnut coverd with red bean jam. It has vitamin B1 and is good for taking nutrition.

Beriberi is caused by lack of nutrition. People's meal in Edo era was really simple; rice, tsukemono and small fish.

Therefore, Andoughnut became a great hit in this drama's Edo.

Can you feel this big effect of his action?
