Review: An amazing bento book, especially for the bento initiate! - This book is a must-buy if you are considering trying to make your own bento. The instructions are clear and well written and the pictures are mouthwatering! This book would be worth it for the recipes and lovely presentation pictures alone - but there's so much more packed in here! What I especially love about this book is the practical advice from the author on how to make things easy. She includes helpful shopping lists of things both Japanese and not-so-Japanese to stock up on and things that can be prepared in advance and frozen/defrosted/nuked in the microwave as needed. The author also gives great advice on substitute ingredients if you can't get hold of the real deal. Additionally there is a little guide on different types of bento boxes and how to care for the more expensive types. There are plenty of clear pictures demonstrating the techniques described and I thought the book was well laid out and presented. It's fantastic value for how much you will get out of this book, especially if like me you are new to making bento lunches. The author's blog (justbento.com) is a wonderful additional resource that's well worth checking out too. Review: Little gem of a cook book - I was not expecting this book to be that good, but i was totally wrong. I'm a single father from the UK and i learned to cook from an early age. i own a lot of cook books and this is easily up there with the best. That's because its absolutely crammed with very imaginative and very fast to prepare meal ideas. i don't have much time to prepare food so quick healthy meals are important. mow i have a hundred plus new ideas for myself and my children. A lot of the recipes are actually cooked (which is why i am classing it as a cook book) and they can be eaten as regular meals not just cooled and used in a bento. and im fusing many of the recipes with my own way of cooking to encourage my kids to eat healthier foods. my kids are now trying lots of new foods and i have a new enthusiasm for preparing my work lunch. Getting into bento was a good decision. when i get in to work i cant wait to eat my lunch! A fantastic book and very well presented. the only minor quirk is that some of the ingredients cant be found easily here in the UK, some alternatives would have been nice. for example 'mirin' is hard to come by, but a little research on the net was all i needed to find out an alternative such as sherry or dry vermouth with added sugar can produce a similar product. I highly recommend this book for its fresh ideas and fast preparation times! a little slice of every day Japanese food! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 141,116 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 202 in Other Asian Food & Drink 1,178 in Quick & Easy Meals 11,999 in Home & Garden (Books) | | Book 1 of 2 | Just Bento Cookbook | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,477) | | Dimensions | 19.1 x 1 x 25 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1568363931 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1568363936 | | Item weight | 482 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | 20 Jun. 2011 | | Publisher | Kodansha USA | ## Images ![Just Bento Cookbook: Everyday Lunches to Go: 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-7REk3SRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing bento book, especially for the bento initiate! *by C***N on 1 October 2013* This book is a must-buy if you are considering trying to make your own bento.

I've tried out a number of the recipes now. My husband was thrilled! Delicious food, which is easy to do. However it can be a little time consuming. The japanese way is to plan their evening meals around their Bento box for the next day which obviously cuts the time (and money) commitment considerably. This includes shopping time! This is not quite so easy to do in the UK, unless you are switching on to a japanese diet. The other way of course is to make things in bulk and keep them in the freezer, which is you have the space is the ideal option. However, for us it is a lovely treat from time to time. It's fun and also quite spoiling for picnics and things too. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47917244-just-bento-cookbook-everyday-lunches-to-go-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47917244-just-bento-cookbook-everyday-lunches-to-go-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
