En réponse à PREUSS.

Oui c’est ce que je raconte dans l’article linké en tout début de celui ci 🙂

Bonne chance 🙂

I came here by way of Japanese translated summary of your article.

You are featuring about bentoh of the
trad type.

« CharaBen » has newly emerged among the
young mothers for their children, but the most generations of the Japanese eat
the trad type.

Tough it is not home-made but similar to
the trad bentoh is « EkiBen » – bentoh (boexed meal) sold on the train or at the
stations.

When you came here Japan, please
enjoy wide variety of EkiBen on the way to your destinations in all through the
archipelago.

Here is one ununsual example of creative « EkiBen »
which probably Japanese adults love and I want to introduce you who love bentoh
cooking http://tabelog.com/niigata/A1501/A150101/15009227/dtlrvwlst/4194923/
(Several photos, you can see in each stratum of the bentoh.)
When
you open the box, you will see slices of cooked-eggs that are placed all over
the box. On top of them, there are some chopped shrimps.But beneath
the simple surface of the yellow, when you start eating the meal, you can find
and enjoy the seafoods.There placed under the sliced « AtsuYakiTamago » –
Japanese omelet, you can see the pieces of boiled prawn and squid, broiled eel
and probably vinegared horse mackerel.Those four seafoods are set on the
sheet of seat made by meticulously shaved one piece of light green coloured
« TororoKonbu » – dried and shaved kelp.Under the all those viands, you
will find cooked rice with « Kanpyou » – gourd (vegetable) and some other
ingredients. The rice was finished by faint vinegard flavour – as you know it
is almost same as the sushi rice.

Imagine, when you open the box, at
first – you will be disappointed, just could see cooked-egg only – that simple
boexed meal !
But, as you start eating it by chopsticks, from a part of the
corner there reveals one seafood.
And then, towards to the other corners, you
will be discovered every seafoods up untill you finished the meal.

This
style of the meal had emerged during the Edo period, when the Shogunate had
issued the order of luxury-prohibition to the city dwellers, rich merchants and
sometimes commoners wanted to enjoy the delicious foods, so they hid the
every delicacies inside.
The introduced new trand of bentoh has a root in history, and if this idea would apply to your bentoh, then I think those who eat your bentoh would entertained a lot. If you like it, try it.
