Ginkgo leaf cutters are currently in the spotlight! Its delicate bird-like pattern…is just a hint of autumn.

Saba Man fields comments and questions about his bentos daily so he asked me to pack an extra large bento so he could share it with co-workers. I honored his kind gesture with this creation.

It’s an eggplant. How cool are these? I don’t know the variety and neither did the vendors. They were so beautiful; how could any bento maker resist? They lost their color a bit after cooking but not their taste! Yummy with curry sauce and placed in the square bento box. Along with the eggplant is a 2 egg tamagoyaki, namasu made with those carrots in the photo, figs, saturn peach and those ubiquitous champagne grapes.

Well, Champagne grapes that is. I bought a huge container so my last few bentos all have them packed in there.
Not complaining;
“just sayin”.

I’m not a fan of grapes (please, no hate mail), but these little cuties are perfect for bento boxes. Adds texture and interest. I highly recommend them for filler material; if not used as a main ingredient. They taste good and they don’t have seeds!
The Round Box Bento 2

I really enjoy packing this round box. It seems no matter what I add, it looks ok. I think the round box just lends itself to nice bento presentation. I recommend a round box for those who are doubting their ability to pack both healthy and pretty bento lunches.
Bento Contents: Miso Egg, Olives, Champagne Grapes, Carrots, Fig, and Strawberries. I ‘ve lined the box with green leafy lettuce as it’s a nice filler and great as a partition between some items.
