I just felt uncomfortable seeing bento paired with korean food when koreans do call it something else. The connotation of bento in korea is either japanese bento or the oldies from the 50-60s made with iron. So I was just hoping to see a more generic term like lunchbox rather than such a culture-specific term, for posts like this one, but then everyone thinks different, and you certainly don't have to agree with me. :-) true that.

But there are many Korean foods that are not spicy at all. Hi well...- In the spirit of my "Hello and Welcome" message, thank you for sharing the Korean word, dosirak. Like the word bento, it means lunch box! One has to ponder though, what do I call a dosirak packed with Japanese food? :) Hi gamene- Thanks for commenting and I agree about sushi. Inari sushi is about the only sushi I pack in a bento box. Hi Lil’chan-Thanks for your comments, Saba Man doesn’t like spicy too much either, so when I cook Korean food I lighten up on the hot stuff.

And there is a korean term "dosirak" for this japanese term. So yes, there are many versions of "dosirak" with korean food; most middle and high school students in korea used to take "dosirak" to school before the schools started serving lunches.
