Bento Dinners

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this crisis!

Since there is no indoor dining at restaurants during the Stay Home order, I’ve switched gears to make take-out bentos.

Here are some pictures of the bentos I made this week.

I make the bentos to order. To reserve, please call the restaurant and leave a message with the quantity desired. The pick-up time is between 5 and 7 on Friday and Saturday evening.

I chose obento as the theme of my first blog post because it reminds me of how important it is to prepare each dish with care, a thought I keep foremost in mind when cooking at home or at the UpCountry.

I grew up in Japan, where food is very important. On this blog, I would like to share what I serve at the restaurant, what I eat at home and what I make for my dear friends and family members.

You are what you eat. You are who you are loved by. And you are who/what you care for.

This obento has rice topped with an umeboshi and sesame seeds, an egg and tofu dish, kinpira celery and karaage (fried chicken).

I hope you enjoy my posts.

Thank you.
