On e of the great things about Japan is the food and the fact it is so easy to get take aways. They do have Makudonarudos and Kentaki Chiiken but that isn't as good as an Obentoo おべんと box. You can pick one up in any convenience store, supermarket or from 100s of tiny restaurants. They are boxes divided into small parts and each part has something different to eat. For the most part they are delicious. And the good thing if you cant read a menu is at least what you see is what you get! I have only had one small mistake so far... it looked like chicken but definitely wasn't chicken! I am still not sure what it was but I will not be picking up that one again soon. You usually get some vegetables, meat? or chicken, some salad and some pickles and of course a good helping of rice.
I found this video on the net of some children singing before they sit down and eat there bentoo... maybe we should try this before lunch?
The last bit of the video is where they say Ittadakimasu いただきます, it is like saying thanks before you eat. Also you will hear Gochiso-samadeshita ごちそさまでした which means thank you for the meal... listen carefully you should be able to work out who they are thanking!
