    I know that this work is super boring but if it’s worth anything I would like to thank these people for the care and the effort with clean practices they put into each and every one of these bentos. I can’t even begin to count the time when the bento box was actually the highlight of the day of the trip when walking around had been tiring or when I had just finished a tough school term. I don’t know how far Japanese elite gourmet goes but to me Japanese bento boxes are the most moving. They’re not too expensive and yet taste good when cold and are just right for the stomach after a hard days travel. Some people might feel like they work in a machine but I would like them to know I’m so grateful for the bento boxes.

    When I went to Japan I remember going into a 7-11 and the rice and curry meal that was prepped and for sale in the fridge area of the store looked perfect like on a menu. Of course in US this is almost never the case. The pride the Japanese show in their work is second to none.

      Last time I went to Japan, most of the food I ate was from convenience stores because it was luxurious, cheap, and convenient. The pork katsu sandwiches are insanely good. All the prepared food is amazing.

    I lived in Japan for 10 years and ate bento and onigiri regularly. I always wondered how they were made. This video was awesome, thank you!

    i love how everything is made so clean whereas at my country you'll see barbeque stands, fried food stalls and rice combo meal stalls on the side of the road powdered with road dust then flavored with vehicle smoke and for final touches, the vendors are either coughing coz of the smokes and wearing any masks and gloves xD

    It's soooo cool, Paolo. I like watching how the Japanese workers prepare the bento boxes. It's really comforting to know that everything is safe and sanitary. Keep up the good job, Paolo! :) :) :)
