No tips today, just fast lunches. I put mine in a Laptop Lunchbox to accommodate the bulky leftover salad; it's good for big appetites and packing bulky foods like sandwiches or salad.

I've been poking around in some of the various personal and community bento blogs, but haven't seen anything like recommendations for brands/varieties of soy sauce, mirin, etc. Might you have any suggestions? I've never been much for soy sauce before, so I don't know if Kikkoman is right out or not. :)

Thanks for sharing all your photos and information!

I'll look around and see what I can find. You're looking for recs. for Japanese pantry items that are widely available? Where are you (which country? metropolitan area or not?)? On soy sauce, Kikkoman & San-J, etc. are fine, but avoid La Choy like the plague.

Nice icon, BTW -- Alton Brown rocks!

I'm in Miami, home of not-Asian. :) I've got some Chinese groceries widely scattered, but the bulk of Japanese-ness in the area is the Morikami Museum up in West Palm Beach County... unless somebody's hiding things from me. ^_^

(On the flip side, if you know anybody wants Latino items hard to find in their area, we could do trades!)

Thank you for the icon compliment - I made it, and I share! Alton's been looking really good with the scruffy look showing up on Iron Chef lately.

Nice bentos!

I wish our Japanese markets in L.A. sold kid's bentos. Very nice color!
My daughter would love all these items. It's inspiring me for tomorrow's bento. --julie
